Honoring craft, culture, and connection in the heart of Montenegro
The 5th Montenegro Smoking Weekend took place from June 13th to 15th at the elegant Kalamper Hotel, a stylish and modern venue located on the beautiful Montenegrin coast, known for its excellent service and welcoming atmosphere, once again bringing together cigar lovers and lifestyle enthusiasts from the region and beyond.
Upon check-in, guests were welcomed with a Tempus cigar – a Montenegrin creation with a Caribbean spirit – setting the tone for a weekend that blends local character with global cigar culture. The opening evening continued with a relaxed gathering featuring a live performance by the Kino Kultura band and a carefully chosen selection of Plasencia cigars.
Saturday brought a whole new energy – the afternoon masterclass set the tone for a day dedicated to refined taste and unforgettable moments. With a perfect pairing of Monkey Shoulder whisky and Valentino Siesto cigar, guests enjoyed a thoughtfully curated experience that combined education and indulgence in the true spirit of cigar culture.
The highlight of the evening was the Valentino Siesto Gala Dinner, accompanied by the soulful sounds of the Free Cats band and an exceptional selection of drinks in collaboration with our partner @g3spirits. montenegro. As part of a cherished tradition, each guest received a Puro Connoisseur travel humidor – an elegant and practical gift, presented at the end of the evening, for those who carry their passion with them.
Throughout the weekend, every moment – from the laughter-filled photobooth sessions to candid conversations and vibrant music – was beautifully captured by our long-time partner, MMHUB digital & creative agency. Thanks to the creative team at photkaj.me, guests enjoyed the fun and energy of 360° and mirror photobooth experiences, adding another layer of joy and connection to the event.
Sunday concluded the weekend with a relaxed brunch featuring AJ Fernandez cigars, Freixenet sparkling wine, and the lively rhythms of the Cubano Band – a fitting and flavorful finale to a memorable gathering.
We’re deeply grateful to all our partners and collaborators who helped make The 5th Montenegro Smoking Weekend possible. Their support continues to be the foundation of this growing tradition that celebrates quality, community, and the finer things in life.
