Crafting the Impossible.
Last Saturday, we had the privilege of celebrating one of the most unique collaborations we’ve ever been part of alongside the Ironroot Republic family and Luciano Ci**rs.
What began as an idea became an 18-month journey of experimentation, refinement, and plenty of challenges. But this project was never about taking an existing cigar and finding a whiskey to match it. Luciano and Ironroot Republic built both the cigar and the bourbon together, from the ground up. That barrel marked “ICC CR” was created specifically for this project from day one.
After countless adjustments and conversations, the vision finally came to life, redefining what a cigar and bourbon pairing can be.
Members and guests gathered to meet the artisans behind this masterpiece, sharing pours, ci**rs, stories, and fellowship throughout the evening. From the energy across our lounges to the pop-up bars and conversations taking place around every corner, it was a night that reminded us why we love bringing people together.
To Luciano Meirelles, the Ironroot Republic family, and everyone who helped make this evening possible—thank you.
And to our members and guests who showed up to make history with us, thank you for being part of the journey.
Here’s to wherever the next challenge leads. We’ll keep pursuing experiences that push boundaries and continue to elevate the cigar experience.
