CIGAR
Belles

For women who run the room, and like a good cigar at the end of it.

The Society

A standing table of our own.

Philly Cigar Belles is a members’ club for women. We plan nights out at Philadelphia’s cigar lounges, teach the craft from first cut to perfect pairing, and introduce like-minded women who should know each other.

Women worth knowing

Founders, executives and creatives, introduced on purpose.

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 Central PA, Shirah in South Philly, 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.
