Upcoming Events at Lit

Join us on Friday, February 21 from 6-8pm in Lit as we feature the #1 Cigar in the U.S., Aging Room! Ranked #2 in the world by Cigar Aficionado, only behind the Cuban Montecristo #2, the Aging Room F55 Quattro is a rich, and full bodied and features a unique Indonesian grown wrapper. We'll have specials on the F55 Quattro and the Limited Edition Aging Room ffortissimo cigar, as well as a special selection of prototype Aging Room blends.

We'll be joined by Cary Bischoff of Boutique Blends, who produces Aging Room, as well as David Kearns of Beam, who will be showing off the latest in the Beam Signature series, a limited edition Spanish Brandy finished Beam whiskey.

Try this or one of our other featured Small Batch bourbons from Beam along with a prototype Aging Room cigar for only $15 and share your review with Cary to help influence the next great Aging Room release!

We'll also have a flight special of three Beam Small Batch whiskeys along with giveaways and the usual fun you get at one of our Lit events! We hope to see you on the 21st!

An Exciting Announcement

Due to the overwhelming demand for another large scale cigar event in the same vein as our annual Washington Cigar & Spirits Festival, we're proud to present the Lit Cigar Lounge Spring Smoke!

On Friday, April 25 in the Casino Ballroom from 7-10pm, we'll present three exciting innovators in the Cigar & Drink world. CAO blender Rick Rodriguez will be on hand to talk about his line of cigars, including the new Flathead which has become a mainstay for full bodied cigar smokers at Lit. Check out CAO's awesome website for more info on their cigars and Rick's passion for creating them.

We'll also be joined by two great innovators in the local drink scene:

Westland Distillery's Matt Hoffman - Matt is the master distiller at Westland, the beautiful distillery located on 1st Avenue in the SoDo district of Seattle.

Westland is unique in that they make American Single Malt whiskeys, using Washington grown barley and aging their whiskey in the cool ocean air of the Olympic Peninsula, which gives it a richer flavor and longer finish, more remeniscent of scotch. Check out Westland's site to learn more, and if you can make it down for a tour, you will not be disappointed! We have two Westland whiskeys available at Lit, their Flagship American Single Malt and a limited edition whiskey called Deacon Seat.

We're also going to be joined by Georgetown Beer's brewmaster Manny Chao, creator of some of our favorite beers to pair with a fine cigar. Manny's Pale Ale is the #1 beer in Seattle of course, but we love the Lucille IPA with a nice cigar as well!

Tickets are $35 and include appetizers, products from all of these gentlemen, as well as a sample of the Pyrat Cask 1623 rum, a very exclusive and expensive sipping rum which will tantalize your palate!

Tickets are on sale now at the casino box office!

Happy Smoking!
