While it’s been said that “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”‚ in recent years‚ the “stogey” has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity among folks who see it as a personal “indulgence” (or even a way to break the rules of “health consciousness”). To tap into this trend‚ Leslie Frechette and her family decided to host their own cigar “social”. Their version elevated the event from a smoking–only theme to a several course meal featuring regional Italian cuisine. The gathering (held when the restaurant was normally closed so non–smoking guests weren’t impacted) was extremely well received among cigar aficionados!
