One day before the bachelor party starts, please share your location with the groom-to-be (Steve: 403-819-1256) and best man (Travis: 403-472-5906). Travis needs to know where everyone is to coordinate timing (e.g., infer each person's expected arrival). Stop sharing your location when you leave.

Do I need to bring anything in particular?

Yes, Steve is receiving a humidor during his bachelor party. All attendees are to bring two of their favourite cigars. You will smoke one and give the other to Steve. He will keep them in memory of your presence during his bachelor party.


During our cigar session, we will enjoy some premium whiskey (bourbon, scotch, and rye). Travis will split the cost of these bottles among all attendees.

I don't smoke cigars. What are good options for me to bring?

Mid-Range ($10-$20 per cigar)

Romeo y Julieta 1875 Churchill: Classic and well-balanced with a medium body.

Padron 3000 Maduro: Highly rated for its complex flavours and smooth finish.

Oliva Serie V Melanio: A luxurious smoke with rich and creamy notes.


Premium ($20 and up per cigar)

Davidoff Aniversario No. 3: Exquisite construction and a refined, complex flavour profile.

Ashton ESG 22-Year Salute: Known for its rich, elegant flavours and excellent craftsmanship.

Cohiba Behike 56: One of the most sought-after cigars with a full-bodied and luxurious smoking experience.
