Dark Arts is pulling together two of its favorite things—good tobacco and good cocktails—for an evening with Jeremy Reeves, the Director and Head Blender at Cornell & Diehl. This seminar-style pairing happens alongside the Las Vegas International Pipe Show, and Jeremy brings over twenty years of pipe smoking experience to the table, along with a background that spans tobacco shop management and wood-fire pizza cooking. He's known for an adventurous palate, which plays into how he approaches blending at Cornell & Diehl's boutique operation.
Seating is limited for this one, and your ticket covers a spot in the room along with two crafted cocktails (non-alcoholic versions available too) paired against a selection of tobacco. Once the seminar wraps, stick around for the UPCA Fast Smoke Competition kicking off at 10pm, right in the moody, 21+ cocktail lounge that Dark Arts is known for—the kind of low-lit space that doubles as the green room for the live music venue it's attached to.
Expect a laid-back, conversational vibe rather than a lecture hall feel. This is for folks who already appreciate pipe tobacco or want to understand what goes into a thoughtful pairing, guided by someone who's spent decades thinking about blends and flavor combinations.
