Cigars Under the Stars - Nov 3, 2024
The 100 Men Hall is teaming up with some fantastic folks for the annual Cigars Under the Stars outside on the Hall's grounds. The event is on Sunday night, November 3, 2024 from 6-8PM, and tickets are $20. Boukou Groove will perform on the Tin Shed porch.
This event is a fundraiser and guests are asked to BRING YOUR OWN CHAIRS because it will be held outside under the stars on a magical November evening. Cigars Under the Stars is sponsored by Silver Slipper Casino & Hotel, Cathead Distillery’s Old Soul Bourbon, Pass Cigars, and Alligator Mike Promotions.
Formed in 2010, Boukou Groove is a New Orleans funk, soul, and jam band composed of veteran-vocalist/keyboardist/Moog Bass & Donnie Sundal, and guitarist, Derwin “Big D” Perkins. The combination of Big D’s gripping N’Awlins funk guitar and Donnie Sundal’s wailing keyboards and “blue-eyed soul” voice have lit up audiences around the world. That same chemistry has been distilled intotheir albums A LIL’ BOUKOU IN YOUR CUP (2012), LET THE GROOVE RIDE (2015) and the Single release 2019 “Never Steal Our Thunder”.
Pass Cigars will have the smokes and accoutrements for purchase with all proceeds to benefit the Gulf Coast Veterans Association in honor of Veterans Day. Cathead Distillery will provide Old Soul Bourbon. There will be oysters and food for purchase, and a cash/credit bar.
Pass Cigars is a cigar lounge located in downtown Pass Christian offering hand rolled premium cigars.
Gulf Coast Veterans Associations' goal is to make the U.S. Veteran part of the world again. Many of our Veterans feel isolated, out of place and undeserving to re-enter civilian life. We want them to know that they are not alone. It is our hope that by offering Veterans a sense of brotherhood, they will realize a new standing of value and self-worth. Through social gatherings, we want to show them that what happened in the battles was part of the fight for Freedom, and they are not to blame for anything that is haunting them. By sharing experiences with those that can understand without judging, we hope to boost morale.
Old Soul is a precise blend of two whiskeys, each with an identical high-rye mash bill, and aged for a different amount of time. Each barrel is reviewed by nose & palate—the old-fashioned way—and expertly blended from whiskeys distilled in Indiana & Mississippi. Old Soul is the perfect metaphor for our bourbon—one that is thoughtfully crafted with a nod to both tradition & the future.
