Cigar Season 2012 . . . it's a wrap!

Long Ashes Cigar Club,
 
Thank you for another sensational cigar season! We not only added many new faces to the club, but also hosted more events and raised more charitable contributions this year than in any past: more than $1,300! 
 
We wrapped up the year on a beautiful afternoon this past Sunday with our Tale of Two Cigars event, an event in which nearly a third of the club enjoyed good conversation among good friends.
 
I wish all of you a Merry Christmas, and thank you for being part of Long Ashes Cigar Club.

Please remember that -- due to limited seating -- you and your guests must RSVP so I know how many A Tale of Two Cigars bags to put together. You are welcome to join fellow members and guest for lunch prior to or dinner after the event.

Sangria and Cigars with Piedmont Opera

I'm excited to share with you another Winston-Salem cigar opportunity -- this one with Piedmont Opera and one in which Long Ashes Cigar Club occupied a modest role as facilitator.


Piedmont Opera has invited all of Long Ashes Cigar Club to its 2012-2013 Sangria & Cigars party. Enjoy bottomless sangrias, delicious tapas, and share cigars in the Spring House's courtyard with the cast of Carmen.

This is event is open to the public.

Relish has signed on to provide media coverage; therefore, be sure to wear those LACC shirts and hats if possible. Otherwise, dress code for the event is casual.

Your $45 ticket includes an afternoon of sangria, tapas, a cigar, an excuse to get out of the house, and unlimited hobnobbing. I've also heard rumors that there may be drawings for various prizes from Piedmont Opera, Spring House, and The Pipe and Pint.

Sunday, October 7, 4:00 - 7:00 PM

$45 per person with a reservation, $50 at the door

For a reservation please call Spring House (450 N. Spring Street Winston-Salem) at 336-293-4797 by October 5.

Hope to see everyone there!

Good times ...

Thanks to all the wives and girlfriends who allowed Long Ashes Cigar Club to host a sensational Scotch & Cigars event this past Wednesday night at River Birch Lodge.

Reid did a tremendous job of selecting three seductive single malts to pair with our cigars, cigars that burned long past our usual bedtimes (well, mine at least). Not to go unnoticed were some new faces joining us, and we're glad to have them be part of Long Ashes Cigar Club.

The weather, the cigars, the camaraderie that this glorious pastime brings -- it couldn't have been any better.

Good times ...
