Cigar Chicago August Smoker

Smoker Date: Sunday, August 23, 2015


Our next smoker is Sunday, August 23, 2015, 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm at Blue Havana.

Last time flew by, and 10:00 came way too fast for everybody. So we’ve expanded our time in both directions. We’ll start at 7:00 instead of 7:30 now, and we can stay until 11:00pm!

Kick back with a cigar or two and cigar camaraderie with other kinky cigar lovers. As always, we’re taking over the shop after hours, so it’s just us.

We’re BYOB, so feel free bring your favorite whisky or other spirit and share the love with your friends; who knows, you might just find a new favorite for your bar, too. Or bring some chocolate… but mostly bring yourself.

Patronize Our Host Shop
Like a munch, Cigar Chicago smokers are free to attend, but show the shop we appreciate them letting us use their space and patronize them: they have a fantastic humidor, so buy a cigar. Or two. Or accessories. Or something. (To make it easier, Blue Havana is now extending Cigar Chicago 10% off things purchased during the smoker.)

Who is Welcome
All genders, ages, experience levels, races, shoe sizes, sexual orientations and preferences, partnership status, poly, D/s, M/s, height, eye color, religions, pet preferences, fitness levels, tax brackets, and pizza topping choices are welcome (even all veggie pizza, if that’s your thing; your pizza is not my pizza, and that’s OK).

Bottom line: if you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it is for you. While couples and groupings are always encouraged to come together (hey, isn’t that always nice?), it’s not a requirement to have a partner to come.

Here’s the event page on FetLife if you want to go tell the world you’re going: https://fetlife.com/events/370806

Here’s the group and discussion are here: https://fetlife.com/groups/55753/group_posts/7621644

Questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to seeing you there.

Note that since Chicago requires anyone entering a tobacco shop to be 18 or up, and drinking requires you to be 21 or up, please plan on showing a state-issued ID if asked to do so.

Rough Crowd July: No, don’t! … Don’t stop! (feat. Eternal Angel)

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, July 12, 2015


This month we have a special guest speaker, Eternal Angel, who will be presenting No, don’t! … Don’t stop!.
Have you ever wondered what consensual/non consensual play is all about?

One of the most enjoyed types of play for EternalAngel, this workshop is an opportunity to come along and learn about the controversial play and see how it could become one of the hot types of play that you can add to your fetishes, and ways to go about setting up the negotiation and organizing this type of scene in a safe way that caters for all levels of people.

This class will also cover the definition of consent and how it applies to a “non consensual” scene, identifying when the scene is not CNC based play (for both Dominants and submissive) and how to disengage from the scene, along with open floor discussion, practicing your negotiation skills and sharing some of your ideas for a CNC scene.

Bringing your own play partner is always awesome, but not required; while couples and groupings are always encouraged to come together (hey, isn’t that always nice?), it’s not a requirement to have a partner to come to Rough Crowd.

All genders, ages, experience levels, races, shoe sizes, sexual orientations and preferences, religions, pet preferences, fitness levels, tax brackets, partnership status, poly, D/s, M/s, height, eye color, and pizza topping choices are welcome (even all veggie pizza, if that’s your thing; your pizza is not my pizza, and that’s OK).

If you’re into rough body play, or if you think this sounds interesting, then yes, it *is* for you. Come to Rough Crowd for overview, instruction, and practice time. Safety and technique will be first, and then ideas and practice time. No experience necessary; you’ll have some by the time you leave.

Rough Crowd August: Getting Primal (feat. Bydarra)

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, August 9, 2015


This month we have a special guest speaker, Bydarra, who will be presenting Getting Primal. Some of us thrive on intricate techniques and protocols. Others like less evolved fare. This is a discussion about forms of primal play, techniques, headspaces, etc… Come with your penchant for primitivism and talent for expressing these feral drives.
