9 Year Anniversary event: Cigars & Culture Masterclass at Everett and Jones

Join us in Jack London at the legendary Everett and Jones Barbeque in Oakland for our 9 Year Anniversary Cigar Smoking Masterclass, an intentional celebration designed to kick off 2026 with style, substance, and community.

This Friday night experience is ideal for both seasoned smokers and those newly curious about cigar culture, offering an elevated yet welcoming environment centered on knowledge, connection, and tradition. Guests can expect flavorful food available for purchase, two fully stocked bars, cigar trivia with prizes, meaningful networking, and a guided group herf session that brings the room together.

The evening is led by master instructor Herfulese, a world traveler with more than 20 years of cigar expertise, who will cover cigar selection, anatomy, regions, flavor profiles, proper cutting and lighting techniques, etiquette, and how to identify counterfeit cigars with confidence.

Each ticket includes a complimentary hand rolled Brazilian or Nicaraguan Creme medium bodied cigar to immediately apply what you learn.

This is an experience that sets the tone for the year ahead and does not try to be everything to everyone, only exceptional at what it offers. Attendance is limited, and in my view, this is exactly how 2026 should begin.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
