Straight Up & Toasted Feat. Montecristo Cigars & Old Forester Whiskey

Fine Tobacco Club was founded in 2009 in New York City as “Fine Tobacco NYC.” It began with a simple goal: to bring together cigar smokers to appreciate the art and craft of fine tobacco together.What started as a few friends learning about cigars together has become perhaps the largest regularly meeting cigar group in the world. Each month, we bring together anyone who loves cigars, libations, and good conversation for cigar and spirits pairings, live jazz events, summer rooftop events, new product releases and more.After more than 200 gatherings over 10 years, Fine Tobacco Club now seeks to bring new experiences, friendships, and products to fine tobacco lovers everywhere.

<h3>Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua No. 2</h3>An all Nicaraguan Montecristo, and an absolute powerhouse of a blend. We were fortunate enough to host a pre-release Cigar 201 with Rafael Nodal in 2019, tasting the cigar well in advance of release. We knew then that this cigar was something special, so its recent No. 2 Cigar of 2021 award from Cigar Aficionado comes as no surprise to us.Celebrating 85 Legendary Years of Montecristo with a first-ever, tribute blend of the iconic cigar that started it all. The first Montecristo cigar was handcrafted in 1935 using a signature blend of tobaccos that has become the standard by which the brand still lives up to today. Now, 85 years later, tobacco and blending powerhouses Grupo De Maestros, Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez transport us back to that iconic moment in history with a first-ever interpretation of the original blend that made Montecristo the icon it is today. We are pleased to announce Cigar Aficionado has recognized the Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Nicaragua No. 2 as the #2 Cigar of the Year in 2021!

<h3>Old Forester Whiskey</h3>1910 Old Fine Whiskey: On October 22nd. 1910, a fire on the bottling line halted production of Old Forester. Mature whisky ready to be bottled, instead was stored in a secondary barrel. What emerged was a delightful whisky, remarkable enough to become an entirely new expressions – Old Fine Whisky.Today mimicking this historic bottling, this unique expression of Old Forester has undergone a second barreling, granting it exceptional character, a smooth and sweet flavor and a clean, crisp finish. Entering the second barrel at a low 100 proof allows more of the sweet wood sugars to dissolve into the whiskey. 1910 Old Fine Whiskey is the fourth and final expression of the Whiskey Row Series, presented at 93 proof.1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon: The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.

One of the last spots where New Yorkers can still mix scotch and smoke. New York Magazine captured it perfectly when it wrote, "An air of vintage class pervades this sprawling midtown cigar bar—just what you'd expect from the team responsible for Grand Central's Campbell Apartment."
