June was packed with celebration, flavor, and firsts at Prime Tobacconist. We marked our very first Father’s Day in business with a sold-out steak cigar dinner, bringing together bold smokes and hearty plates for an unforgettable evening. Earlier in the month, we treated our community to an exclusive barrel selection event, and later announced the lucky winners of the AVO Cigars golf promo. From premium cigars to memorable experiences, June was everything Prime Vibes are made of.

New Cigars in Our Humidor

June brought an exciting lineup of new additions to our humidor, each offering something distinct for the discerning palate. Highlights included the Viva La Vida Connecticut from Artesano del Tobacco (also featured in June's Prime Tobacconist Cigar Club subscription pack!) alongside the bold and complex Baka by RoMa Craft, the patriotic and storied Pledge of Allegiance from Casa Carillo, and The American by J.C. Newman. Each cigar reflects the craftsmanship and character we’re proud to showcase at Prime Tobacconist.

Bottle Share & Single Barrel Selection Night

Our Bottle Share & Barrel Selection Night was a spirited evening to remember! Guests gathered at Prime Tobacconist to enjoy fine cigars and an impressive array of shared pours, from rare finds to personal favorites brought by fellow whiskey lovers. The highlight of the night was the exclusive Knob Creek single barrel tasting, led by the Knob Creek Regional Manager, who guided us through the selection process with expert insight and enthusiasm. In true Prime fashion, we made the selection of our “Whiskey Thieves” an experience of its own; a live raffle determined which six lucky attendees would take part in the official barrel pick. With palates primed and cigars in hand, the Whiskey Thieves tasted, debated, and ultimately chose a standout barrel! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable night of community, craftsmanship, and great taste.

AVO Cigars Golf Promo

Our Avo Cigars Golf Promo ran through mid-June, and on June 14th, the two lucky raffle winners were chosen! With their qualifying purchases, Dennis B. won a Srixon ZXi MAX Driver ($550 value!), and Vinny R. won a Garmin Approach R10 Golf Launch Monitor ($450 value!).

Our First Father's Day Weekend

We expected some shoppers for Father's Day this month, but we were truly blown away by how many of you came to Prime Tobacconist for the perfect gift! We’re so grateful for the community support that’s helped us get here. Our pre-made gift bags, which included premium cigars and accessories, were a hit! Others chose to browse our humidor for rare and high-end selections. We're happy to know that we played just a small role in making sure dads were excited as ever to receive a Father's Day gift they'll 100% enjoy!

Father's Day Steak Dinner ft. Ross Family Cigars

We continued celebrating dads and father figures at our Father's Day Steak Dinner featuring Ross Family Cigars. It was a sold-out evening that truly embodied Prime Vibes: premium cigars, incredible food, and a room full of great company. Guests gathered to learn more about Ross Family Cigars, enjoying the company's full line of cigars. The night’s culinary spotlight came courtesy of Lobo Reys Kitchen, who wowed attendees with a flavorful three-course dinner. From the charred Caesar salad and the savory 18 oz. cowboy steak, to the decadent ice cream sandwiches rolled in bacon dust, each dish brought bold, creative flavors that paired beautifully with the Ross Family Cigars lineup. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable night!

Though we won't be hosting cigar dinners in July or August, we will be starting them back up in September and have planned out the rest of the dinners for 2025.
