NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Cigar smoking enthusiast
Christy Gibson hosted a Cigar Women of Nashville kickoff event from 6-8 p.m.
Nov. 16 at UPtown’s Smoke Shop in Nashville.
The
smoke shop, located at 3900 Hillsboro Road in Nashville, Tenn., experienced its
first year putting on this cigar event. The event provided wine, hors d'oeuvres
and cigars. Nearly 22 women showed up to the event to get more acquainted with smoking
cigars and meet other women with the same interest.
Gibson created this event to teach women how to
smoke cigars and to break the stereotype that smoking cigars is for men only.
She wanted women to have a place to go where they can be with other women who
share their same passion of smoking cigars. Gibson hopes to help women gain
knowledge about the cigar, such as how to choose a cigar for a favorite food or
drink.
“The
best part of smoking cigars is that I get to do it with my best friend and partner,”
Gibson said. “We have a great time with each other and the ability to share our
love of cigars makes our time together all the more special.”
Andra
Mesch, 20, had never smoked a cigar until she went to the Cigar Women of
Nashville event. The event taught her how to smoke a cigar properly, and she
was surprised to find that she enjoys them.
“Even
though this event only lasts two hours, you really do learn a lot,” Mesch said.
“I would most definitely recommend anyone who’s interested in smoking cigars to
check out future events. Not only do you learn about cigars, but I’ve also met
some really great people here.”
Aside
from the women’s only event, Gibson plans to start events for couples who enjoy
smoking cigars together.
