About
the Cigar Society of Chicago
ONE OF
THE OLDEST AND greatest
traditions of the city clubs of
Chicago is 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 Informal
Smokers, University
Series lectures, and 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.
