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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
