The Experience

Puff and Sip — Events / Lifestyle

Automated Event Platform From Social Group to Professional Events

Puff and Sip is a cigar and liquor enthusiasts social group focused on education, networking, and community. Meta Phoenix built a fully automated online event system — enabling ticket purchasing, apparel sales, real-time event management, registrant communication, payment processing, and comprehensive pre/during/post-event reporting. What started as a social group now runs professional events at scale.
