Every Wednesday • 7:00 PM • Nashville

Light up a great cigar, meet new people, and enjoy a relaxed evening of Texas Hold ‘Em at Smokers Abbey.

Our weekly poker night is built around one simple idea: community first. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just learning the game, everyone is welcome as long as they play with good sportsmanship and respect.

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, but official blind increases don’t 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 starting stack, regardless of cigar price.
Re-buys are available until 9:30 PM using the same format.
Want to buy a premium cigar? We appreciate it—but every qualifying buy-in receives the same number of chips.

This keeps the game friendly, affordable, and focused on enjoying great cigars together.

Schedule

7:00 PM – Game begins
