Torch Cigar Bar
Torch Cigar Bar is the new gold standard in cigar bar and lounges. A lovely, spacious lounge with a contemporary feel, plush furnishings and a warm, inviting atmosphere.
For fine cigar and spirits lovers, Torch is considered a sanctuary from hectic schedules and day-to-day concerns.
Wide Selection
Billed as having over 200 premium cigars and over 200 total spirits, shelf space at Torch is scarce, but…
There’s always room for passion and craft tequilas.
Bar Manager, Chris Cuestas, describes Torch’s growth in Phoenix, and his plans to expand the tequila and mezcal choices. [Editor’s note: Chris also makes a mean espresso!]
Cigar Expert Extraordinaire
Torch’s Cigar Maven, Shannon Horton, shares her options on pairing puros with each of Embajador’s expressions.
Inside the Humidor
Replete with personal lockers for members to stash their prized sticks, Torch’s state-of-art humidor is designed as a shrine to fine tobaccos.
Here, Shannon explains her recommendations for Embajador’s anejo, the Caldwell Eastern Standard Midnight Express.
Embajador Tequila and Cigars: A Perfect Pairing
Andres Garcia, Regional Sales Manager for Embajador Tequila, explains his reasoning for approaching Torch in the first place, and why small batch tequilas make perfect sense in this environment.
Save Your Sanity
As Jon Harrington, co-founder of Torch, puts it–
“…save your sanity in an insane world….”
