St.
PATRICK's DAY
with the Cigar
Society
Terence Ó Baoghill
will read some
of his
favorite Irish
faerie stories
by candlelight
in a
smoke-filled
room, to which
much excellent
Irish whiskey
and beer will
have been
brought. We
may hear the
stories of
Oisín
(pronounced
O'Sheen), the
centuries-old
and legendary
Irish hero, as
he describes
his wanderings
to St.
Patrick, the
great
converter of
Irish pagans
to
Christianity,
and snake
driver. Or we
may hear of
stolen
children,
mysterious
disappearances,
or double
lives lived in
parallel with
the occult, or
sad shepherds,
or mad
kings.
Terry Boyle, a
native of
Derry,
Northern
Ireland,
teaches Irish
and British
literature at
Loyola
University.

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 curtis.tuckey@logicophilosophicus.org.
