There are a few steps to getting your cigar ready to ensure the best possible smoking experience. In this brief video, Gregg shows several methods for cutting your cigars, as well as toasting and lighting to get a good even burn. If you’re new to cigar smoking, and even if you’re not, we think you’ll enjoy this video!
Come on out and join 
us for “Burn Your own Steak Night” or choose “Mongolian Beef Dinner” where you create your own meal, have them stir fry it and enjoy. Gregg bring a variety of cigars for you to choose from and they have a full bar for your enjoyment. The public and non officers are welcome and encouraged to show for this evening. Great food, excellent cigars and some great conversation with some really awesome people.
Steak dinner with all the fixings $12.00
Mongolian Beef is charged by weight
All you need to get on base is a valid drivers license and proof of insurance. Iron Mike’s is right inside the front gate. Feel free to call us at the shop with any questions and we hope to see you there! We’d love to know you’re coming, so if you have a moment, please RSVP on our event page on facebook.
Here we go again! Time for more fun, can you stand it???? No need to wait for St. Patrick’s Day to get out there and celebrate with friends. We’ve got a couple of events planned to get the party started well before then:
Join us on Thursday, March 11th, at Carlsbad Hennessey’s for another great party. They had so much fun celebrating our anniversary last month, they want us to come out and celebrate their 21st with a cigar dinner. You’ll get a fine cigar, pint of Harp or Guinness and flat iron steak dinner all for just 21.95. Add to that great people and conversation and this is sure to be an event you won’t want to miss.
Then on Monday, March 15th, Gregg and I will be at Iron Mike’s Staff NCO club on Camp Pendleton for a burn your own steak night, or stir fry your own Mongolian beef dinner. It’s always a fun event and Gregg brings a variety of cigars for you to choose from. You decide what you want to eat and drink and get to chat with some really amazing people. You do not have to be military to participate in this event; the public is welcome and encouraged to attend!
On Friday, we’ll have some great specials on Drew Estate cigars, so we’d like to give you a little peek into cigar making. The two videos below are brief, but reveal some interesting facts about cigar production that we think you’ll enjoy seeing and all without having to spring for airfare to Nicaragua!
Drew Estate Production Salon
Drew Estate – The Leaf
What’s up guys? This is Fabien and I would like to personally invite you to the crazy block party and dinner that Cigar Grotto and Drew Estate are putting together. It is going to be on Friday, February 26th with the in-store event starting at 3pm and will continue with dinner at Hennessey’s in Carlsbad at 6:30. The specials we will have during the in-store event are just insane and the cigars that will be smoked at the dinner will be out of this world!
Every guest at the dinner will be getting a Liga Privada #9 Parejo. This cigar has taken over all the online chat boards and is very hard to find, being that it is only being distributed to 150 accounts all over the states. It is medium to full, flawlessly constructed, rich and full of character! But don’t take my word for it, come on down and reserve your seat at the dinner and experience it for yourself.
The other cigar will be none other than the one and only “jewel” of Nicaragua, the Joya de Nicaragua Antano! This is a FULL body Nicaraguan puros! The first time I smoked one of these cigars, I fell in a pool but that is a story for another day. This cigar is very smooth, but crazy full and the sun-grown Criollo wrapper gives you just the right touch of pepper.
Finally, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag…. but if you come out and you are nice to me, I might have a VERY, very special third cigar for you… but only if you’re nice! This third cigar will most likely be released later on this year, but if you come to the dinner and you are nice to me, I might let you have one!
See you all there, and if you have a green Drew Estate hat, put it on and come on down. This is one event not to be missed! Peace out, O-town!!!!!
