Back in August 2022, Winter Park retailer Cigarz on the Avenue secured the final NFT from La Flor Dominicana to obtain the Golden NFT cigar. Now being dubbed the “Lucky No. 7,” the retailer is planning a full world premiere of its Andalusian Bull “The Golden NFT Lucky No. 7” cigar. The premiere event appears to be the grandest launch of the Golden NFT cigar by any of the owners who secured the rights to obtain this cigar.
The Golden NFTs were seven unique NFTs that were put up for auction by La Flor Dominicana. Securing the NFT gives the holder the right to purchase an exclusive 6 1/2 x 42 size of the highly acclaimed Andalusian Bull. The holder also gets a high-quality digital card of art and a special Gold Bouillon Humidor containing 50 of the Golden Bull cigars.
“The Andalusian Bull has been a unicorn of a cigar, and this project has elevated the brand to an even higher level. I knew when the project was first announced that Cigarz on the Avenue would be a perfect home for the “Lucky No. 7”. As the auction came close to its end I was obsessed with owning it and went all in.” said Don Patel, Owner of Cigarz on the Avenue.
“The Golden Lucky No. 7” will premiere with a two-hour private VIP event featuring La Flor Dominicana Vice President of Sales Jonathan M. Carney and Vice President Tony Gomez, creator of the Golden NFT program. At this event, VIP Guests will experience pours of Macallan M (25- to 75-year-old aged whiskey), 24 Karat Gold Encrusted Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeyes, 24k Gold Infused Saffron White Truffle Mashed Potatoes, and tastings from Cigarz on the Avenue’s new “Golden Menu.”
As for the “Golden Menu,” it features cocktails recommended to be paired with “The Golden Lucky No. 7 Cigar.” The highlights of the Golden Menu feature an Old Fashioned (Lucky No. 7 Old Fashioned) smoked with tobacco from the “Lucky No. 7 Cigar,” a 24k gold-infused sparkling wine cocktail (Golden Royale No. 7), and a Turkish-style coffee (The No.7 Golden Café) served with chocolate truffles that pours as liquid gold. All cocktails on the menu feature Bhakta Armagnac 2707 or Bhakta 50 with the exception of the sparkling wine cocktail, which features Hennessey V.S.O.P Privilege. All cocktails will feature Buffa Bitters selection of craft bitters which are a Central Florida-based bitters brand founded by distiller and cigar enthusiast Michael Buffa of Winter Park.
“The commitment to detail that Cigarz on the Avenue has taken with the Golden NFT project has been truly humbling for all of us at LFD,” says Jonathan Carney, Vice President of Sales, La Flor Dominicana. “The launch of their No. 7 is a night we are honored to be a part of.”
The Lucky No. 7 will be presented to the public on Thursday March 2, 2023, at 8pm. This will be immediately followed by the VIP Premiere.
