Nicaraguan Charity Night with Tor Imports and Nick Hammond – Saturday 29th June

On Saturday, 29th June, the Yorkshire cigar community came together for an unforgettable evening at the Nicaraguan Charity Night, hosted by Tor Imports and featuring the esteemed presence of Nick Hammond. This event was not only a celebration of fine cigars but also a dedicated effort to raise funds for a noble cause.

A Celebration of Fine Cigars

The highlight of the evening was the opportunity to enjoy the exquisite Perdomo 20th Anniversary Epicure Cigars. Awarded Nicaraguan Cigar of the Year in 2014 by Cigar Journal, the Perdomo 20th Anniversary brand is renowned for its superior quality and rich flavors. Each cigar is meticulously crafted with tobaccos aged for a minimum of eight years, boasting a balanced complexity and elegant aromas that captivate enthusiasts worldwide.

Insights and Inspiration with Nick Hammond

Guests were treated to insights from Nick Hammond, an award-winning author known for his captivating book “Around The World in 80 Cigars: The Travels of An Epicure.” Nick’s vibrant prose and deep knowledge of cigars enthralled the audience, offering a unique perspective on the culture and craftsmanship behind these beloved indulgences. His upcoming book, eagerly pre-ordered by attendees, promises further exploration into the world of cigars and the finer things in life.

Supporting Auténtico in Nicaragua

Beyond enjoying cigars and insightful conversations, the event was dedicated to supporting Auténtico in Nicaragua. This organization focuses on improving living conditions in the slums around León through education and entrepreneurship initiatives for children and young people. The funds raised during the Nicaraguan Charity Night, totaling an impressive £1000, will directly contribute to these vital efforts, extending the generosity and compassion of the Yorkshire cigar community to those in need.

Acknowledgments and Gratitude

Special thanks were extended to Tor Imports for their generous contributions to the raffle, which added an extra layer of excitement and support to the fundraising efforts. The presence of Alfonso Scherzi, the brand ambassador from Tor Imports, enriched the evening with his insights and expertise, providing a deeper appreciation for the cigars enjoyed.

We would also like to express our gratitude to Usman Dawood, editor of Cigar Inspector, for attending and capturing some delightful photos of the event.
