Submit to The Smoking Poet

January 15, 2010

The Smoking Poet is looking for cigar-themed stories with a word count between 400 and 1,000 words, although we will consider longer pieces. Your story need not be fictional—maybe you have some favorite memory of a cigar-smoking uncle or grandfather you’d like to share. All we ask is that cigars play a part in your story. Paste your submission into the body of an email—no attachments—and insert Cigar Story/Last Name into the subject line.

The Smoking Poet also seeks cigar reviews of between 100 and 300 words. Let our readers know what your favorite smoke might be—maybe it’s a Nat Sherman Explorer, a Punch Rare Corojo, or a Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real, or whatever you’d care to share with us. Tell us what you like and why, and maybe even when you like it. Maybe there’s a cigar lounge, where everybody knows your name, at which you stop nightly to unwind on your way home from work. If so, tell us about it. Paste your review into the body of your email—no attachments. Subject line should read: Cigar Review/Last Name. Mail to Smoking Poet Submissions.

Deadline for the Spring issue is Feb. 28′th.

    A call for poetry submissions that forgets the submission info is very poetic.
