Straight Up & Toasted at The Carnegie Club

Both Fall and Oktoberfest are here, and so is our next cigar, whisky, and jazz pairing event!

Join us at The Carnegie Club on Wednesday, October 16th at 8:00pm for our "Straight Up & Toasted" event. This evening features rare and exclusive Quesada Cigars and Balvenie Single Malts, all set against a backdrop of live jazz in one of New York City's most remarkable venues.

Attendees will enjoy two sizes of the limited edition Quesada Oktoberfest 2024, the 'Kaiser Ludwig' (6x49) and the event-only 'Kugel' (5x58 perfecto). These cigars (mostly sold-out nationwide) feature a Mexican San Andres wrapper and deliver robust and sweet notes of chocolate, baking spices, dry wood and touches of black pepper.

Our whiskies for the pairing include the Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year, known for its smooth and rich character, and the Balvenie Stories 14 Year American Bourbon Barrel, which offers a unique profile with hints of orange peel, roasted malt, and a surprising touch of smokiness.

We'll also be joined by special guest Hector Becerra, National Sales Manager at Quesada Cigars, who will present briefly on this special blend and be available for further conversation.

Grab your friends and join us - a pairing like this doesn't come around often!

For 24 hours, a limited number of tickets are available for $50 online. Afterwards, tickets will be $60 online and $75 at the door.

Our cigar selection for the evening includes the exclusive Quesada Oktoberfest 2024, with each attendee receiving two sought-after sizes: the box-pressed Kaiser Ludwig and the event-only Kugel, both already sold out in the market. Crafted in the Dominican Republic, these medium-to-full-bodied cigars feature a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapper, delivering bold flavors of chocolate, spice, dry wood, and black pepper. Perfectly suited for pairing with Balvenie single malt scotch, they promise to enhance the festive ambiance of our gathering.

Our spirits selection for the evening will feature two exceptional offerings from Balvenie. First, the Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year, a smooth Scotch whisky that gracefully combines flavors of sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes with a hint of vanilla and oak from its double-barrel maturation process. Second, we introduce the Balvenie Stories 14 Year American Bourbon Barrel, a unique whisky with a symphony of flavors, including candied orange peel, roasted malt, deep vanilla oakiness, and a surprising whisper of smokiness from its distillation during peat week.

One of the last spots where New Yorkers can still mix scotch and smoke. New York Magazine captured it perfectly when it wrote, "An air of vintage class pervades this sprawling midtown cigar bar—just what you'd expect from the team responsible for Grand Central's Campbell Apartment."
