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. And in 2019, we’re moving to our new home at the AutoMotorPlex in Medina.
In 2018 we hosted over 800 guests, and we’ll host up to 1000 participants in 2019!
So, Why "Baseball"?
Cigars & Baseball started out 6 years ago as a tailgate party for the Twins game. Due to tremendous growth over the years, we’ve moved to a new location and expanded the party in lieu of the Twins game, but you’ll notice that we haven’t removed the word “Baseball,” from our name. That’s because this event benefits a very important cause: The Miracle League, a baseball league for children and adults ages 3 years old and over with cognitive and/or physical disabilities.
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!
