What is a Cigar Party, Anyway?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What\u2019s a cigar party, exactly? The answer is up to you really. Any gathering where people enjoy cigars could be called a cigar party, whether cigars<\/a> are the focal point of the afternoon or evening or not. Our goal in this \u201cHosting the Ultimate Cigar Party\u201d blog is just to fill your head with a few great ideas and maybe some \u2018must haves\u2019 so that your next hosted event that features cigars will be a hit.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a backyard herf and BBQ with your four best friends or a 200-person soir\u00e9e under a giant tent with a brass band and ice sculptures. If you want to have cigars as an important feature, then this blog is for you. So, let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n

Setting the Cigar Party Scene<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first thing to consider for your cigar shindig is who\u2019s coming and where it will be held. Who you invite will have some bearing on setting the scene and other key decisions. Does everyone you\u2019re inviting smoke cigars? Are any of them actually allergic to smoke?<\/p>\n

Do you drink alcohol? Does everyone else? Where it\u2019s happening is important too. Will it be indoors, outdoors or both? Is it at your home or a venue you control and own? Or at a restaurant or rented space. You\u2019ll want to nail all these things down to help inform other decisions.<\/p>\n

What to Consider in Planning a Cigar Party<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Will your cigar party be indoors, outdoors or both?<\/h3>\n

If you will be enjoying cigars indoors, you\u2019ll want to think about what room that will happen in. Ensure there\u2019s adequate ventilation, ashtrays and a spare torch or two available. Comfortable seating nearby. You might think about entertainment if you will spend a lot of time in that space. Music or a card came even.<\/p>\n

Your place or mine?<\/h3>\n

Is your cigar party happening at your own home or a friend\u2019s place? Or are you going to be a restaurant or rented venue? If the space isn\u2019t under your complete control, then call in advance to the restaurant or venue and get the lowdown on the rules about smoking cigars there. Where can you smoke? Are ashtrays available there? Can you smoke in the same areas where drinks or food are served? Is there seating available where the herf will go down?<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s Coming?<\/h3>\n

Your guests and their experience should be central to the planning of any great party, big or small. Does everyone who\u2019s attending the party smoke cigars? Is anyone allergic to smoke? Don\u2019t forget about the plus ones. \u00a0If everyone\u2019s a smoker, planning will be simpler.<\/p>\n

If not, it\u2019s not a problem, just think it through. Will the non-smokers have a place to be while others are smoking? How long will the groups be apart? Be sure your non-smoking guests still be entertained and have access to food and drink while you\u2019re herfin\u2019 it up.<\/p>\n

What to Serve at Your Cigar Party<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What kind of cigar party is it? Backyard BBQ? Dinner party? Late night drinks and a card game? Believe it or not, what food or drinks are being served should play a part in what cigars you smoke. Is everyone bringing their own cigars, or are you planning to provide them as the host?<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a featured cigar or you know what people are bringing, you can use that info to help decide what food and drink to serve. If you\u2019re providing food, drink and the cigars, then we have just what you need to get them all beautifully in sync with one another.<\/p>\n
