Our Story…
In 2010, a small group of loyal Twins fans and cigar-lovers, had an idea…
“Let’s have a Twins tailgate party and smoke some cigars with a bunch of friends!”
What started as a tailgate party, grew exponentially and five separate “Cigar Herfs” were held, each welcoming over 100 cigar aficionados.
Nearby restaurants, the liquor industry, and local breweries offered to donate. With their kindness, our cigar party became a major fundraiser for the Minnesota Miracle Leagues. We now had a new purpose, and a new reason to expand.
In 2013, we went public. The First Annual Cigars & Baseball hosted over 300 attendees. Now, instead of just one cigar, ticket holders received SEVEN premium cigars. We welcomed food samples from metro area restaurants, plenty of drink options, live music, and an opportunity to bid on some cigar-lover’s favorite items at our silent auction.
In 2025, we established the official non-profit 501c3, Miracle League Fundraising of Minnesota.
And for 2026, we’re excited to be back at CHS Field!
So, why “Baseball”?
Cigars & Baseball started out 14 years ago as a tailgate party for a Twins game.
When you purchase a ticket to Cigars & Baseball, you’re not just gaining entry to Minnesota’s largest cigar party! You’re also helping to ensure that children with disabilities have the same opportunities as their peers, to enjoy the game of baseball.
All of the proceeds from this event will be used to maintain Minnesota’s Miracle League fields, which are made of custom-designed, rubberized turf that accommodates wheelchairs and other assertive devices, while helping to prevent injuries. These special fields eliminate the barriers that keep kids off the baseball field and allow them to experience the joy of America’s favorite past time—baseball!

Entertainment
Nate Amor’s musical journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and purpose. Over the past 25 years, the Minnesota-born, Denver-based singer/songwriter has built a career rooted in heartfelt storytelling and an unwavering commitment to his craft. His is a journey of growth and perseverance. With a new collection of songs on the horizon, Nate continues to live up to the meaning of his name and lead with love.
Originally hailing from the rugged shores of Lake Superior, Sasha Mercedes writes image-provoking songs and delivers them with passion and conviction. Her powerful voice turns heads, as she beats on her guitar, brow furrowed and snarling! Mercedes has released five Americana solo albums, and though there will always be a soft spot in her heart for singer-songwriter stylings, Mercedes hasn’t been tethered to any genre.
