Social Cigar Hour

A cigar, a drink, and a conversation with people who understand your industry. One hour, once a week, in small groups of 8 to 10.

The people behind the business cards.

Managed service provider (MSP) owners, sales professionals and cybersecurity professionals take turns introducing themselves, sharing where they are in the world, what they’re drinking and what they’re smoking. Then an unexpected question gets the conversation going.

“What cartoon from your childhood had the biggest impact on your life and why?” is one example. Friendship comes first—no unsolicited sales pitches.
