Diamonds, Don Julio & Draws – the essence of Cigar Night at the Club! Once of my favorite events at the Club is Cigar Night –do you know why? First off, how cool is it to cut up a fine Nicaraguan cigar (a favorite was the El Baton, courtesy of Grant's Tobacconists) while sipping three or four different Don Julio tequilas? Kevin Kachadoorian, our awesome rep from Southern Wine & Spirits, talked our members through a tasting of Don Julio's premium tequilas – from the smooth, clean flavor of the Blanco all the way to the honey and vanilla notes of the 1942 – yum! This is one to savor, not shoot.
Did I mention the bling-bling that we had going on as well? The gorgeous diamonds adorning these lovely ladies were hand-selected from Simayof's vaults by our member Irv Spivak. Aren't you jealous of his job? Irv is continually followed around by his personal paparazzi, Cody Rasmussen (ok, I am sort of making that up ) so he shot these amazing photos of the event that really captured the vibe!
Every other month, our members enjoy this event as a way to relax, reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Board member and general great guy Rich Stratton made an eloquent speech in praise of the event, the outstanding Cinco de Mayo fare, the camaraderie, and the Thursday night date. Come join us next time – we practically guarantee that is you like Cigars, you will LOVE this event!
