Cigar Chicago December Smoker

Cigar Chicago

Smoker Date: Sunday, December 22, 2013

Our next smoker is Sunday, December 22, 2013, 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm at Blue Havana.

SPECIAL NOTE – The timing here is a little different than normal: because of the holiday shopping season, the shop will be open to the public until 7pm, so we’ll start a little later. To balance out, they’re letting us hang out until 10:30 this time.

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/213890

Here’s the group and discussion are here: https://fetlife.com/groups/55753/group_posts/4678609

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 December: From The Bottom Up

Rough Crowd

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, December 15, 2013

This month we have a special guest speaker, MrsB, who will be presenting From The Bottom Up.
It’s great that we have so many classes available to Uppercase types about how to hurt people. But what about the lowercase people? All the good technique in the world can be wasted if the people being hurt don’t know how to engage themselves in the experience.

From negotiating and preparing for the scene, to pain processing and aftercare (it’s not just for s-types!) bottoms have a great responsibility in ensuring that those Violent Displays of Affection are fully appreciated. MrsB will talk about skills and techniques that bottoms can employ to be sure that they’re equally important participants in their Rough Body play scenes.

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 NOVEMBER: Rough Rope

Rough Crowd

Rough Crowd Date: Sunday, November 10, 2013

Is nothing sacred? Must we mix the crude with the beautiful? Blunt force and gossamer ties? The ancient with the primitive? Artistry with the profane?

Actually, that sounds hot.

Two of the most popular topics in kink in Chicago are rough body play, and rope. Like chocolate & peanut butter, hot dogs & jalapenos, and first dates & lube, the two go together famously. And if they don’t yet, they will now.

Like all Rough Crowds, this will be hands-on. Things we’ll cover will be things like…

* Extra concerns when doing rough body play with rope
* New possibilities that rope gives RBP people
* New possibilities that RBP gives rope people
* Fun ideas to use to torture rope bottoms

Things To Bring

* Rope (ideally 30 foot lengths)
* Partner, if you have one (or two, or three, or…)
* Diabolical streak
