Famous Smoke Shop and La Aurora Cigars Tee-up for a Good Cause

Famous Smoke Shop, the nation's leading retailer of discount premium cigars, has teamed-up with La Aurora Cigars as donor sponsors for The Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey's 31st Annual North Jersey Golf Classic which takes place on Monday, July 30th at the Upper Montclair Country Club.

Working with one of the tournament coordinators, Famous Smoke Shop agreed to donate 200 Aurora 1495 Robustos. Before the tournament, each player will recieve a gift bag. Among other items, the gift bags will include one of the 1495 cigars and a circular with specially-discounted offers on select Famous Smoke Shop cigar brands. Moreover, the Famous Smoke Shop name will appear on some of the signage around the Club.

"We constantly get requests to donate cigars for golf tournaments and other charity-oriented events," said Gary Korb of Famous Smoke Shop. "Unfortunately, we can't accommodate everyone, but as a Jersey boy, myself, and after learning about all the great work EFNJ has done, it was an easy call to make."

Although New Jersey's current smoking ban prohibits golfers from smoking in the clubhouse, players will be able to smoke their cigars on the course.
