Crafted for the moment

From hand-selected premium brands to custom-rolled cigars made live at your event, every cigar is chosen with care.

At Oak & Ash, we believe the cigar is more than a product. It is the starting point of a conversation, the companion to a celebration, and the catalyst for a memory. That is why we curate every selection with the same attention we give to every other detail of your experience.

Our cigar selection

Every Oak & Ash event features a curated menu of premium cigars chosen to offer something for every palate, from the curious first-timer to the seasoned aficionado. Our host walks each guest through the options, offering guidance on flavor, strength, and what to expect.

Mild Selections

Smooth, approachable, and perfect for guests who are new to cigars. If you enjoy a smooth latte, you will love a mild Connecticut wrapper. Expect creamy, slightly sweet flavors with notes of vanilla, cedar, and light spice. These cigars are designed to welcome, not overwhelm.

Medium-Bodied Options

The sweet spot for many cigar enthusiasts. Rich and balanced, with layers of flavor that reward attention. Expect notes of earth, leather, toasted nuts, and a touch of pepper. These are cigars that invite you to slow down and savor.

Full-Bodied Choices

For the aficionado who appreciates bold, complex flavors. Deep notes of dark chocolate, espresso, aged wood, and robust spice. These cigars are for the guest who knows what they like and wants something with presence.

Custom Selections

During your consultation, we discuss your guest list and their experience levels. We then curate a mix that ensures every guest finds a cigar they enjoy. If you have specific brands or blends in mind, we source them for your event.

Custom cigar rolling

Live artistry at your event

There is something captivating about watching a torcedor, a master cigar roller, at work. The careful inspection of each leaf. The precise rolling technique honed over decades. The finished cigar, perfectly shaped.

Our professional rollers bring their own premium tobacco, tools, and portable rolling station. The live cigar roller experience is available as an add-on for Premium and Ultra tier packages. They set up at your event and craft fresh cigars while your guests watch, ask questions, and learn about the artistry behind every cigar.

Custom blends and sizes are available. The roller works with your preferences to create something unique to your celebration.

Tasting notes guide

Tasting a cigar is like tasting wine or whiskey. The flavors reveal themselves gradually, changing from the first draw to the last. Here is how to appreciate what your cigar is telling you.

How to taste a cigar

1. Light it slowly. Let the flame kiss the foot of the cigar without rushing. A well-lit cigar burns evenly and reveals its true character.

2. Take a slow, gentle draw. Do not inhale. Let the smoke roll over your palate and notice the first flavors that arrive.

3. Let it develop. The first few draws are just the beginning. As the cigar warms, the flavors deepen and change. Pay attention to the transitions.

4. Notice the finish. After each draw, the flavors that linger on your palate are the finish. A great cigar has a long, satisfying finish.

5. Enjoy the journey. There is no right or wrong way to experience a cigar. Our host is there to guide you if you want, or simply let you enjoy at your own pace.

Pairing suggestions

The cigar and whiskey pairing course is available as an add-on for The Gold Standard (Premium) and The Grand Reserve (Ultra) packages, featuring a guided tasting with carefully selected pairings.

Mild cigar + Light bourbon or champagne

The sweetness of the bourbon and the effervescence of champagne complement the cigar’s creamy notes without overpowering them.

Medium cigar + Rye whiskey or aged rum

The spice of rye and the richness of rum bring out the cigar’s earthy, nutty character.

Full-bodied cigar + Peaty scotch or cask-strength bourbon

Bold matches bold. The intensity of the spirit stands up to the cigar’s robust flavors.

Non-alcoholic options

Espresso, dark chocolate, and craft root beer are excellent pairings for guests who prefer not to drink alcohol.

The whiskey and bourbon samples included in our Cigar and Whiskey Pairing Experience are provided complimentary as part of the educational workshop. Oak & Ash does not sell alcohol. Guests are also welcome to bring their own beverages to enjoy alongside their cigar.
