AUGUST 27 - ST. JAMES TEA ROOM - SUMMER CIGAR TEA

 

The tradition continues! It was touch and go for a while and a flurry of activity in our city council chambers where a ban on cigar smoking was under consideration, but reason saved the day (or was it grace?) We continue our tradition of The Cigar Tea. For the last five summers we have gathered on the porch or in the courtyard on an August evening for cigar enthusiasts to enjoy a full three-course tea for dinner, fine cigars, a sampling of fortified wines such as Sherry, Port, and Madeira, and of course, great conversation. Our spring cigar tea was well attended, and space is limited to just around 30 people, so call for your reservation soon! We heard a rumor that there may be a demonstration on the Art of Antique Straight Razor Shaving! There are some of us who enjoy traditions of all kinds; this is an evening for those who enjoy the more masculine sort.


Wednesday August 27 6:30-8:30 pm., $49 per person (includes afternoon tea, wines, and cigars)
