For 25 years, the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival has lit up Miami with incredible events combining tasty food and wonderful wines. Last week, the four-day event also included a very special late-night cigar and spirits party featuring Guy Fieri and Cigar Aficionado magazine.

Cigars & Spirits hosted by Guy Fieri presented by Cigar Aficionado took place atop the multi-tiered rooftop of the Kimpton Angler’s Hotel South Beach where hundreds of people enjoyed free-flowing spirits and an abundance of cigars.

The cigar companies in attendance were A.J. Fernandez, Altadis U.S.A., Crowned Heads and OZ Family Cigars, Drew Estate, Knuckle Sandwich and Espinosa Cigars, My Father, Oliva, Plasencia and the PCA.

The spirits list was equally impressive: 3 Sons Brewing Co., Arran Single Malt, Barceló, Cardenal Mendoza, Dingle, Hine Cognac, Nikka Whisky, Rhum Barbancourt, Santo Tequila and Smoke Wagon Bourbon.

Murder Point Oysters were served up on the half shell, along with sliders and other light bites. 

Fieri was the star of the event, posting for photo after photo and puffing away on his Knuckle Sandwich cigar brand. The party began at 11 pm, and finished in the early morning hours.
