Calling all Bourbon buffs, Stogie specialists, and Tony Soprano wannabes…
Whether you frequently float down the whiskey river or you Havana idea about cigars…
We would love to welcome you to Butch Robustos, a queer cigar and whiskey tasting club. It's the 3rd instalment, and this time we're “opening up” the club!
While I’ve loved cultivating a space for specifically Butch dykes to bond and share in this activity, I’ve received a lot of interest from folks who do not necessarily identify with Butchness. This session is for you! We welcome dykes of all genders and sexualities and anyone under the SLINTA umbrella.
What to expect
A small, intimate group of dykes, sharing cigars, learning and reinventing the culture, sharing knowledge, infiltrating and subverting the male cishet-dominated practice of cigars and whiskey drinking.
7/12 UPDATE: EDITS TO THIS EVENT'S FORMAT
You do not need to come with any prior knowledge or experience with whiskey or cigars! We would be thrilled to help you find a pairing you love, or you can just come for the dyke-y vibes!
I am a whiskey/cigar hobbyist and enthusiast, with knowledge that is by no means all-encompassing. I can teach you a bit about the different types, their history, and how to taste them.
Who is this event for?
For this session, we welcome dykes of all genders and sexualities and anyone under the SLINTA umbrella.
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 cigars like old mates. You can choose to bring your own cigar if you prefer.
For your and the safety of others, please do not attend if you have any cold/flu symptoms. Covid testing is encouraged.
Accessibility
We will be situated in the outdoor pub garden (covered and heated!). There is step-free entrance to the pub and the pub garden. Accessible toilets are available. No designated quiet space. Please contact me over Outsavvy or Instagram if you have any specific accessibility requirements.
Tickets
7/12 Edit: I have decided to change the ticketing for this event. Tickets are a free RSVP to gauge numbers. Purchase your own drinks at the bar and I will bring the cigar(s) to share.
