Cigar Night Handbook

Great cigar nights are never accidents. They're built — before the first cigar is lit. In The Cigar Night Handbook, Christopher Edwards tells the stories behind legendary nights: the cheap bundle stick that stole the show, the too-strong lineup that sent a guest home green, the bourbon-and-cocoa minute that made a whole porch go quiet.Through real first-person stories, bold Lessons, and concrete action steps, you'll learn how to pick the lineup, pair bourbon and rye without overthinking it, set the pace of an evening, and create the three conditions where real conversation happens. You'll get the hosting checklist, the etiquette nobody teaches, and the small rituals that turn a smoke into a tradition.Whether you're hosting your first herf or you've been the guy with the cooler for years, this handbook will change how your nights feel. 8,400+ words.
