Cigars are an art form, and there is an air of elegance and sophistication in smoking them. Each cigar has an individual flavor, from a mild sweet blended cigar to a bold, full tobacco taste with just a sweet hint. Needless to say, the most enjoyable portion is selecting the cigar from the box or the humidor, sitting down with a group of buddies, and smoking it from beginning to end. At Festival, we like to think that everyone should know a little about the art of smoking cigars, even if you’ve never smoked one.

School is back in session and summer is quickly coming to a close. But, that just means we are closer to cooler weather, the leaves changing colors, and holiday food and drinks. So, although we must bid farewell to the warm season, we look forward to welcoming in the autumn months with limited release seasonal beers. The next time you swing by Chad’s, be sure to try these pumpkin-inspired seasonal beers and much more before fall is over.

Summer time is fantastic. Festivals, open beaches, barbecue grills, hamburgers, hot dogs, swimming, fireworks, and hot weather. This is the season to simply enjoy the warmth of the sun in the backyard or any place filled with a good time. Nothing quite goes with these events like a cold alcoholic beverage, and the same can be said for the good music. Some songs about summer immediately give you the feeling of long days and warm nights. And, when you add a cold beer or drink to the mix, you have created a concoction of great times and memories that will last a lifetime.

There is a lot of history and tradition surrounding the cigar smoking. Learn first the basics about cigars and our recommendations for buying for beginners.
