Meet The Whiskey and Cigar Chic

Where expertise meets accessibility, and everyone feels welcome

Hey there! I'm Christy, and I'm on a mission to make whiskey and cigars as fun and accessible as they should be. Whether you're a Fortune 500 brand looking to connect with new audiences or someone who's never held a rocks glass, I'm here to make your experience unforgettable.

When I'm not guiding tastings or consulting with brands, you'll find me exploring new distilleries, building relationships with cigar makers, or creating content that makes premium spirits and cigars feel accessible to everyone. I'm passionate about creating spaces where newcomers feel welcome and veterans discover something new.

Why I do This

  • Women now represent the fastest-growing demographic of whiskey enthusiasts. People of color are driving significant market growth. These aren't niche audiences—they're the future. I help brands and individuals navigate this evolution authentically.

  • The most complex flavor profiles can be explained in ways that intrigue rather than intimidate. When people understand the story behind their glass and their smoke, they don't just drink and puff—they experience.

  • I blend deep expertise with genuine storytelling, making every interaction feel natural and welcoming. Because let's be honest—spirits and cigars are meant to bring people together, not drive them apart.
