St. Patrick's Day
When the wintry west extends his blast,
And hail and rain doth blaw;
And the stormy north sends driving forth
The blinding sleet and snaw:
When, tumbling brown, old March comes down,
And roars frae bank to brae;
We shall find our way to Stratford Place
For Old Saint Patrick's Day.
Walk down the street to six-two-five
And climb the mighty stair;
We shall chase the tang of gin and smoke
And find the smoker's lair.

About
the Cigar Society
ONE OF THE OLDEST
AND greatest traditions of the city clubs of Chicago was the discussion of intellectual, social, legal, artistic,
historical, scientific, musical, theatrical, and philosophical
issues in the company of educated, bright, and appropriately
provocative individuals, all under the beneficent influence of
substantial amounts of tobacco and spirits. The
Cigar Society of Chicago embraces this tradition
and extends it with its fortnightly Informal Smokers,
monthly
University Series lectures, and quarterly Cigar Society
Dinners, in which cigars, and from time to time pipes and
cigarettes, appear as an important component of our version of
the classical
symposium. To be included in the Cigar Society's
mailing list, write to the
Secretary
at
CigarSociety@logicophilosophicus.org.
