Event Details
Every Wednesday
Cards start at 7:00 PM
Smokers Abbey Nashville
Arrive a little early to grab your favorite cigar, settle in, and meet the other players. If enough players are ready, casual play may begin before 7:00 PM, but official blind increases do not start until 7:30 PM.
How It Works
Instead of a traditional cash game, your buy-in is made with cigars.
- Buy any cigar priced $8.99 or higher to enter.
- Every buy-in receives the same 500-chip value, regardless of cigar price.
- Initial buy-ins are available until 8:30 PM.
- Re-buys are available until 9:30 PM.
- You may purchase as many qualifying buy-in cigars as you choose.
- Premium cigars are appreciated, but they do not provide additional chips.
This keeps the game friendly, approachable, and focused on enjoying great cigars together.
