Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have cigar experience to attend?

Nope! This event is specifically designed for beginners and the cigar-curious. Whether you've never smoked a cigar before or just want to learn the basics, you'll feel right at home.

Can I bring a friend who doesn't smoke?

Absolutely! We encourage folks who are just curious to come learn and hang out. No pressure to smoke - just good company and good info. (Full ticket price still applies and cigar will be available)

What should I wear?

This is a casual, relaxed event - come as you are. You will likely smell like cigars when you're done, but there is zero dress code!

Are drinks or food available?

One beverage for pairing (beer, whiskey, or wine) will be included with your ticket. Non-alcoholic beverages will be available along with light snacks (meat/cheese board, cookies, etc).

Can I BYOB?

Yes! You will be provided with a beverage for pairing along with having some options for coffee, water, soda, etc. You are more than welcome to bring a bottle, a six pack, or whatever else you'd like to pair with your cigars. Sharing isn't mandatory, but is strongly encouraged!

I've smoked cigars for a while now - will I still enjoy this?

Short answer - yes. You'll get some deeper dives into tobacco knowledge than the typical cigar review and maybe pick up some tips on tasting - and it's a great opportunity to share your passion with a friend who's new to cigars!

Can I buy tickets at the door?

Space is limited and this event may sell out. We recommend buying your tickets in advance to guarantee your spot.

I've smoked cigars for a while - will I still enjoy this?

Short answer - yes. You'll get some deeper tobacco knowledge than you'll get in your typical cigar review, maybe pick up some tips on breaking down flavor profiles, and it's a great opportunity to share your passion with a friend who's new to cigars!
