Throughout its history, the juggling arts have included the manipulation of cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, and all of the paraphernalia that is associated with tobacco. Over the past century many of the most famous juggling entertainers were known for their abilities to use tobacco-related items in performance, such as Cinquevalli, Bobby May, Frank Eders, Adanos, Bob Bramson, and W.C. Fields. A number of entertainers continue to present smoking displays including Kris Kremo, Tomas Medina, Mark Faje, Tom Mulica, Keith Nelson, Vince Bruce, Kristian Kristoff, Tom Notty, Harry Anderson, and (insert your name here).

Celebrating Winston-Salem's role as the home of the R.J. Reynolds tobacco dynasty, Bindlestiff Family Variety Arts and NYC's Carmine Street Juggling Club have organized a competition seeking the best manipulation of any tobacco related items. Preliminary auditions will be held at NYC's Carmine Street Juggling Club lounge at the Convention Center throughout the week. The four finalists from the contest will compete at the Saturday Night Renegade for a cash prize.
