Event Recap: The Smoker Social With Jack Daniel’s and Hispaniola Cigars

On Thursday, February 27th, over 100 New York City cigar and whisky enthusiasts attended FineTobaccoNYC’s third “Smoker Social” at Merchants NY Cigar Bar. The event featured premium whiskey from Jack Daniel’s, including Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack and Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel. Guests also enjoyed the Hispaniola El Trabuco 1844 and the Tres Carabelas.
