Meet the Event Guests
Casdagli Cigars hosted by Tamara Lingelbach
Casdagli Cigars has grown from a small regional brand to an almost worldwide available cigar brand. The history of Casdagli Cigars is huge, even though the brand is still quite young.
The original production of Casdagli Cigars in 1990s was produced in Cuba, 100% hand rolled by the master torcedor Carlos Valdez Mosquera – simply one of the best there has ever been. The whole production was initially very small – only 500-1,000 cigars a month destined for the London market. Own label cigars were made for some of the top establishments including The Rib Room at the Carlton Park Tower and The Capital Hotel. Casdagli Cigars also became the choice for certain celebrities and members of the Saudi Royal Family.
Casdagli Cigars was priorly called Bespoke Cigars. It was rebranded in Spring 2018 to celebrate the recent growth from a regional to a truly worldwide brand by reuniting the Casdagli family trading symbol of Colossus of Rhodes already demonstrated on the brand logo with the Casdagli family name. Thus truly re-establishing the Casdagli name and the values the company stands for: Delivering Luxury, Elegance, and Tradition.
Dustin Douglas - Musical Guest
DUSTIN DOUGLAS & his band, THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN’s dynamic, heavy, swagger- injected, sexy & dirty, blues-influenced rock n’ roll brings vintage sound and vibe to modern ears.
“All I’m trying to do is continue the tradition of The Stones, Zeppelin and The Faces,” says Dustin Douglas. “Take the traditional blues spirit, mix it with some heavy rock n’ roll and play it for a new generation.
But it ain’t your poppa’s blues,” he adds. “I listen to Rage Against the Machine as much as I listen to Muddy Waters. That blend of influences is what makes it unique.”
Fronted by the transcendent lead guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas, Dustin commands the stage with virtuosic musicianship and classic-rock spirit mixed with punk rock attitude that leaves even the most discerning music fans falling in love with his style at the end of any live show.
As Written - Musical Guests
Bringing their high energy and rocking jazz to the stage, As Written is a local, Mechanicsburg based band specializing in smooth and upbeat jazz tunes.
The band says that, “The best jazz reflects the narrative that moves from deep misery to inextinguishable joy.”
