Founding Belles

Philadelphia women have always lit their own.

From the city's cigar-box era to today, strong women have claimed their seat at the table. We're simply pulling up a chair and keeping the tradition lit.

The Founders

Two Belles, one table.

We met over a cigar at Ashton's and recognized each other right away: two women with similar paths, a love of a fine smoke, and a habit of introducing everyone we meet to someone they should know.

Kira in York, Shirah in Philadelphia, we kept finding the same thing. The best conversations happen in the lounge, and too few women are in the room. Philly Cigar Belles is our answer: a table where women connect, light up, and leave knowing people worth knowing.
