Fine Cigars. Texas Whiskey. An Evening Well Spent. Wednesday, November 18 · 7:00–10:00 PM Join us beneath the stars on the Magnolia Patio at the historic Faust Hotel for Cigars Under the Stars, an evening of premium cigars, Texas whiskey, handcrafted cocktails, and old-fashioned hospitality. Hosted in partnership with Rustic Cigar Haus and Still Austin Whiskey Co., this gathering brings together two distinctly Texas traditions: the art of a well-made cigar and the craft of locally distilled whiskey. Explore the world of Still Austin, a grain-to-glass distillery that sources 100% Texas-grown grains and mills, distills, ages, and bottles its whiskey right here in Central Texas. Enjoy Still Austin whiskey sampling and a featured cocktail menu. Highlights include a fat-washed bourbon cocktail, a Plum Bitters Manhattan, a Negroni, and additional handcrafted selections. Throughout the evening, enjoy the welcoming cigar culture of Rustic Cigar Haus, a veteran-owned Texas Hill Country establishment dedicated to fine cigars, community, and the simple pleasure of good company. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in two event raffle baskets. Enjoy live music all evening from Sean Byrd, a San Antonio multi-instrumentalist, producer, and music director.
