La Aroma de Cuba EE comes to Swift Creek Havana Connections

Greetings All!

If you have never attended one of our Cigar Tastings courtesy of Ashton Distributers, then you don't know what you are missing. These events are fantastic because they actually break-down all the flavors and sensations that you taste when you enjoy one of the highlighted cigars. Yes, we all enjoy cigars and the camraderie of smoking together with friends, but sometimes we take take for granted all the subtleties that we taste!

Tickets for the event are $10. Ticket holders will be treated to a complimentary cigar as well as a special pairing seminar in addition to event specials and deals!

As you smoke the La Aroma de Cuba EE, Evan will take your palate on a journey. First you will try a few unsalted Walnuts that will cleanse your palate. Next you will take a bit of Dark Chocolate and then a puff on the cigar which will reveal the sweet, earthy flavors of the binder and filler. Next you will take a sip of Patron Anejo Tequilla followed by another puff of the cigar which will focuse your tastes on the spicy wrapper, courtesy of Cuban Seed Ecuadorian Tobacco. This process will focus your tastebuds in the future allowing you to distinguish more of the nuances that premium cigars can provide.

Throughout the evening ticket holders will be able to enjoy event only specials. Plus, tickets can be redeemed for $10 off any La Aroma EE purchase. That practically makes this a Free Event. Tickets are on sale now at our Swift Creek location, 804-249-5000.
