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.
We will be tasting 2 types of whiskey and 1 cigar.
You are welcome to bring your own cigar if you prefer.
7:30 Arrive at the pub, get acquainted
8:00 Tasting starts
Share your knowledge!
I am a whiskey/cigar hobbyist and enthusiast, with knowledge that is by no means all-encompassing. I will teach you a bit about the different types, their history, and how to taste them.
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 & dyke history.
** 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! **
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
General Admission includes 2 whiskeys and the shared cigars. I've made the ticket price as low as possible to make this accessible while covering my costs.
Social Ticket does not include the tasting. Choose this option if you'd just like to join in for the vibes, are not drinking, or would like to purchase your own drinks. You can join at any point in the evening. I've set the price as £2 in case you want to try the cigar, to support my efforts in running the club, and to prevent no-shows with free tickets. If you require a free Social Ticket, please message me, no questions asked.
Tickets are non-refundable but can be returned to resale if event sells out.
