When Artistry Meets Atmosphere: Experience the Epitome of Refined Indulgence at The Roaring Lounge


Friday, September 26th promises to transport our community back to the golden age of speakeasies, but with a modern twist that exemplifies everything we cherish about premium cigar culture. At The Roaring Lounge: A Speakeasy Party, guests will witness something truly extraordinary: the ancient art of cigar hand-rolling performed live by master craftsmen from Madre Tierra Cigars.


Speakeasy Prohibition Party

The Lost Art of Live Rolling


In an age of mass production and automation, watching a skilled torcedor (cigar roller) at work is like witnessing a master painter create on canvas. Each movement is deliberate. Each technique is honed through decades of practice. For one magical evening, our Diamond Crown lounge transforms into both a speakeasy and a workshop. Here, the intersection of craftsmanship and celebration creates memories that will last a lifetime.


The process unfolds before your eyes: selecting the perfect wrapper leaf, carefully arranging the filler tobaccos, rolling with precision that only comes from years of experience, and finishing with the artful application of the cap. What emerges isn't just a cigar; it's a small masterpiece, still warm from human hands.

Madre Tierra: Four Decades of Dominican Excellence


Our featured artisans represent the best of Dominican cigar tradition. Madre Tierra isn't just another cigar brand; it's a family-owned operation that has perfected its craft since 1982. They control every aspect of production from "seed to smoke" in their Tamboril factory.


What sets Madre Tierra apart is their unwavering commitment to traditional methods. While other manufacturers chase volume, Madre Tierra focuses on the intimate craft that makes each cigar unique. Their expert torcedors will demonstrate techniques passed down through generations, using premium tobaccos from Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. This creates the distinctively creamy, complex flavor profiles their cigars are known for.

The Experience: Where Craft Meets Celebration


Picture this: the sultry sounds of our Frank Sinatra-style crooner filling the air. Guests dressed in their finest Gatsby glam move through our lounge. Specialty cocktails flow, and in the center of it all, master craftsmen create fresh cigars that you can light and enjoy that very evening.


This isn't just entertainment—it's education. Our tobacconists will be on hand to explain the nuances of each technique. They will answer questions about tobacco selection and help guests appreciate the skill required to create a perfectly constructed cigar. Whether you're new to cigars or a seasoned aficionado, witnessing this artistry firsthand deepens your appreciation for every premium smoke.


The sensory experience is unmatched: the earthy aroma of fresh tobacco, the satisfying sound of the chaveta (rolling knife) working the leaf, and the visual poetry of skilled hands transforming raw materials into something beautiful and functional. It's a reminder that the finest cigars aren't manufactured; they're handcrafted.

Beyond the Rolling Table


While the live rolling serves as our evening's centerpiece, The Roaring Lounge offers a complete journey through premium indulgence. Our curated Molon Labe whiskey flights complement the fresh cigars perfectly. Meanwhile, our speakeasy-inspired cocktail menu transports guests to the era when craftsmanship and quality were never compromised.


The dress code encourages full immersion. Flapper dresses, fedoras, suspenders, and pearls help create an atmosphere where the past and present merge seamlessly. It's this attention to experiential detail that transforms a simple product launch into something approaching theater.


A Celebration of Community and Craft


At Ash Cigar Lounge, we believe the finest experiences happen when passionate communities gather around shared appreciations. The Roaring Lounge represents everything we strive to create: educational opportunities, premium products, an inclusive atmosphere, and unforgettable memories.


For our regular guests, this evening offers a chance to deepen their understanding of cigar construction and quality. For newcomers, it's an ideal introduction to both our community and the artistry behind premium cigars. For everyone, it's an opportunity to witness something increasingly rare in our modern world: true handcraftsmanship performed at the highest level.


Community Gathering

The Magic of the Moment


There's something almost magical about smoking a cigar that was rolled just hours or minutes before lighting it. The tobaccos are at their peak integration. The construction is perfect. There's an immediacy to the experience that connects you directly to the craft and the craftsman.


This is what makes The Roaring Lounge special. It's not just the prohibition-era glamour or the exceptional entertainment, but the rare opportunity to participate in a tradition that spans centuries. When you light one of these fresh-rolled Madre Tierra cigars while surrounded by fellow enthusiasts in our carefully curated atmosphere, you're not just smoking a cigar; you're participating in living history.
