Does the girth of a cigar intimidate you?
Can't tell the difference between a single malt and gasoline?
Or does a heady mix of smoke and peat pulsate through your veins?
Come join us for the inaugural session of Butch Robustos - a cigar and whiskey club for butch dykes. Let us introduce you to a cigar and whiskey pairing, and guide you through the tasting.
What to expect
A small, intimate group of dykes, sharing a cigar, learning and reinventing the culture, sharing knowledge, infiltrating and subverting the male cis-het practice of cigars and whiskey drinking.
Share a cigar or bring your own!
We will be sharing one cigar among us. The size of the group is limited for this reason - but also to allow us to connect in our community.
You are also welcome to bring your own cigar!
This month's cigar is Cohiba Siglo I
This is one of the most prominent cigar brands from Cuba.
Share your knowledge!
We are two enthusiasts who have been on a whiskey & cigar tasting journey for some years.
Beginners, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs alike are welcome. Come and access the world of cigars and whiskey. Share your favourites with the club and bond over butch history.
Who is this event for?
This event is targeted towards dykes who are butch-identifying, butch-leaning, or butch-aspirational. We are trans, enby, bi and ace inclusive.
Age limit 21 and above.
Please note that this event is held at an outdoor smoking area in a pub among other customers who are not attending our event.
Health / wellbeing
We will be sharing a cigar like old mates. You can also choose to bring your own cigar if you prefer.
