Rock & Smoke Tour - Blackened Cigar Sampling Event - Wednesday 1st July 2026 6:30pm

Join us at James J. Fox on Wednesday 1st July for a fascinating evening of cigars as we host an evening for the Rock & Smoke Tour.

Drew Estate’s Blackened collection is a collaboration between Metallica frontman James Hetfield, Master Distiller Rob Dietrich, and Drew Estate founder Jonathan Drew Sann.

We will be enjoying a cigar from both the M81 Maduro and S84 Shade range, as we welcome Rob Dietrich, Drew Estate's Ricardo Ortiz and David Cruz, as well as Alfonso Scherzi of Tor Imports to host the evening and engage in conversation about Blackened, Drew Estate and the cigar industry.

Our drink pairing will be a pairing with Se Busca Mezcal. Guests will enjoy a beautiful mixed mezcal negroni on arrival with the Reposado and their excellent Madrecuishe Mezcal to follow afterwards. We are also delighted to welcome our friend Renato Di Rosa of Amber Bev representing Se Busca to talk about the excellent mezcal they produce. 

Another fantastic sampling evening awaits at James J. Fox, and for a cigar smoking Metallica fan heading to the show over the weekend it’s a perfect precursor to a great weekend.
