The Vision Behind Fervor

Founders and Organisers

Fervor Cigar Festival is created and operated by Josh Stump and Jon Yeager. Josh owns Smokers Abbey. Jon owns Nashville-based hospitality creative PourTaste.

Jon brings extensive event experience. He has overseen large-format cocktail festivals across multiple cities since 2014. That background shapes the structure and flow of Fervor.

Elevating the Experience

Josh identified an opportunity to merge premium cigars with high-level hospitality. Together, Josh and Jon aim to grow Fervor into Nashville’s premier cigar event.

Year one featured food trucks and a relaxed setting. Year two shifts direction. The organisers now focus on a more polished atmosphere.

The rooftop location sets the tone. Passed appetisers replace casual dining. Boutique cigar and spirit offerings raise the bar. The overall experience leans decisively toward a VIP feel.

Looking Ahead

The organisers draw inspiration from major cigar festivals in other cities. They also borrow elements from established cocktail events. This hybrid approach defines Fervor’s identity.

With its upgraded format, Fervor positions itself as a destination event for cigar enthusiasts. Nashville’s growing cigar culture provides the ideal backdrop.
