Now that is a line up!

Tonight’s event is closed to members, however, contact Wild Scotsman if you wish to have an event which is not confined to one companies brands. Experience The History of A Nation in Just One Dram.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the event with AVO, Montgomery Inn, Straus Tobacconist, and Wild Scotsman Whisky. Every cigar event this year at The Montgomery Innbenifits a different local charity.

AT 84 years young AVO was no slouch entertaining the crowd.

For those who bought cigars that night AVO signed their boxes.

AVO entertained everyone at the end with his music.

I look foreword to seeing everyone again at the next event.
Cheers,

For those of you who did not attend the Party Source Cigar Night at the Beer Sellar in Bellevue, KY last night you missed a great event. This was my first time smoking EO Brands and having Eddie Ortega there to share his passion for his brand made that moment even better. I enjoyed his Red Banded 601 full bodied cigar and he got to try my Wild Scotsman Black Label Vatted Malt Scotch made to compliment my passion for cigars.

I look foreword to having another event with Eddie in the future. Until then here is a pic of us at the end of the night. The Cigar in my hand is the Red Banded 601:
