Chris Farley Foundation & Oliva Cigar Event

Wednesday February 17th, 2010 4pm to 9pm

Ready for something different?? This is it. From 4pm to 7pm The Tasting Room will feature a regular Oliva Cigar Event with great deals on cigars, no cover charge and plenty of cigar smoking...and then, at 7pm our event switches gears. With a limit of 50 participants, for a $30 entry fee, The Tasting Room will feature story telling from Tom Farley, Cigars from Oliva, Scotch from The Tasting Room, food, and a book signing from Tom. This is truely a one-of-kind cigar event you will only find in Madison/Monona. So there! We will be benefiting The Chris Farley Foundation whose vision and purpose is, through humor, open the eyes and ears of our youth to the dangers of substance abuse. A very noble cause.

News

Thank you Cigar Store Alliance Of Wisconsin!  On behalf of cigar smokers in Wisconsin, we owe this small Wisconsin lobby organization a lot.  This group successfully fought for our rights to continue to enjoy a cigar in a cigar store or cigar bar in the state of Wisconsin.  And, this group also successfully stopped an increase in state tobacco tax for premium hand rolled cigars while all other tobacco products will see another increase come September 2009.   Wow.  

The Tasting Room of Monona is a proud participant of the Cigar Store Alliance of Wisconsin (www.csawi.org).  Of course, now we have to pay our lobbyists.  So,  many of the cigar stores and cigar bars of this alliance will be having fund raisers...so be on the lookout and participate if you can!!  If you have already contributed,  we thank you very, very much.

The Tasting Room will hold a poker tournament in the fall in order to raise money for our Cigar Store Alliance of Wisconsin...so keep checking the web site or sign on to our email list!    Thanks again.
