Live, Laugh, Smoke Cigars!

From Our Friends at Village Cigar Company

Join us on Saturday June 22nd between 2 and 7 pm as we feature two of the newest brands to our walk-in humidor.

Although not new to the world of cigars, these two brands are new to the Canadian market.

Hailing from Nicaragua, Oliva Cigars have found acclaim as a premium brand with several awards under their belt. Melanio Oliva first grew tobacco in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba in 1886. His growing operations were suspended while he fought in Cuba’s War of Independence. After returning from war Melanio resumed his operations. In the early 1920’s Melanio’s son Hipolito Oliva took over the growing operations. Hipolito cultivated the Oliva family fields for several decades. As Cuba became over-run by communist the tobacco landscape changed. Hipolito’s son Gilberto Oliva shifted from growing to brokering tobacco. In the early 60’s the pressure became too great and Gilberto traveled from country to country in search of the distinct Cuban taste. His travels took him to Honduras, Panama, Mexico and even the Philippines. Gilberto finally found fertile ground in Nicaragua. Today Gilberto along with his family are Nicaragua’s second largest grower of Cuban-seed tobacco.

Aging Room Cigars is a unique boutique brand hailing from the Dominican Republic. The concept of Aging Room is to bring you blends made from rare and limited tobacco, whose limited availability would be insufficient for a regular release and is made only in small batches.

Both brands have been hailed by Cigar Aficionado magazine as well as numerous other trusted publications as having some of the world’s finest cigars.

Support for this afternoon of fine cigars will be provided by our friends at Makers Mark and Knob Creek Bourbon Whiskeys. Two separate tastings will occur during the afternoon with pairing suggestions and informative demos.

Please RSVP to village@villagecigarcompany.com to reserve your spot at this event.
We will again be running our expanded format with a full smoking patio available on Elizabeth Street right next door to the Dickens for your ultimate enjoyment.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday June 22nd.
