Upcoming Events at Lit

This Friday is our Aging Room cigars and Beam Small Batch bourbon event in Lit from 6-8pm. We'll be joined by Cary Bischoff from Aging Room, recently rated the #1 Cigar for the US Market by Cigar Aficionado.

We'll also be joined by Dave Kearns of Beam as we feature three of their special craft whiskeys, including the new Jim Beam Signature Spanish Brandy.

We'll have a flight special and also a $15 cigar and drink special featuring a prototype Aging Room cigar that you can rate and submit your feedback to Aging Room to help them select their next cigar!

Terra Vista is holding a Wine Dinner with Col Solare Head Winemaker Darrel Allwine on February 25th at 6pm. If you're interested in attending, please click to visit our casino website form more information.

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 4th as we celebrate Fat Tuesday with one of our favorite breweries, Sierra Nevada, and Rocky Patel Cigars. We're bringing back one of our favorite brewery projects, the Ovila series, for a limited time. Sierra Nevada teams up with monks from a monastery near their brewery to brew traditional Trappist-style ales, all proceeds going to rebuild their monastery to its original state.

Come meet the lovely Sara Williamson from Sierra Nevada and learn about the original craft brewery and try some great beers! Rob Birsinger from Rocky Patel will also be on hand with some great cigar specials, including the 15th Anniversary, rated the #18 cigar in the world by Cigar Aficionado!

Spring Smoke

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 on the Olympic Peninsula, which gives it a richer flavor and longer finish, more remeniscent of Scotch than Bourbon. 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!
