Summer's not quite over yet, so embrace the warm weather and join us this Thursday 8/26 at the Velvet Lounge. We're serving up delicious 2-for-1 margaritas all day long and from 6-8pm we will be having a tequila tasting. We're putting Siete Leguas, the original distillers of the Patron that everyone fell love with, on the spot. They have been making tequila for over 50 years in Jalisco, Mexico. The tequilas are distilled in small, copper pot stills and are hand-crafted perfection, with distinct flavors and aromas.
The tequilas to be tasted are:
Blanco
Reposado
Anejo
So come and say "hasta luego" to summer in style at the Velvet Lounge!

Cigar Rolling Event
We have our in-house roller coming on Saturday to show our guests what exactly goes into these beautiful cigars we feature. From 5-8 he will be creating from start to finish three different kinds of torpedo cigars:
Our light torpedo has a deliciously mild flavor that is subtle but rich, filled with Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco with a milky Connecticut wrapper.
The dark torpedo is more robust; this cigar has one kind of Domini...can and two kinds of Nicaraguan tobacco inside and it is finished with a Brazilian Maduro wrapper which gives it a bolder flavor and a great even burn.
And last but certainly not least is the double-wrapped torpedo cigar. This house favorite has the best of both worlds, both Connecticut and Brazilian wrappers work together so this cigar begins delicately and then crescendos into a complex full bodied flavor. With a special blend of tobacco inside and its unique wrapping, this is a cigar you don't want to miss.
All those who come out for the event will get 20 percent off all tobacco-related sales, even on cutters and other accessories. And if you mention you saw the facebook invite, the lovely bar staff will probably also get you a delicious cocktail on the house.
So come one, come all, and when the event is over it's Sexy Saturday! What does that mean? Well Demi will be tending bar all night creating hand crafted cocktails. She is sexy and so are you! So come out and let's have a great night.

Cigar Smoking 101
Inexperienced cigar smokers come into Velvet all the time wondering what cigar is right for them. At the Velvet Lounge we offer many flavors, sizes, and textures of specialty hand-rolled cigars. For a beginner or someone who is not too familiar with cigars I would recommend a very mild, short cigar to start with. We offer a cigar called Robusto Light which is perfect for an inexperienced cigar smoker. The Robusto Light has a nice and mild body with a great draw. It is inexpensive and perfect for a first timer. If the Robusto Light is not for you I would then recommend the Hemingway Light. This small cigar is packed with flavor. It has a mild/medium body and amazing curves. Also on the inexpensive side, it is a great cigar to experiment with.
