Whiskey and Ashe — Attraction in Slidell

A fine establishment catering to the cigar aficionado and his friends. The atmosphere is relaxing with a bar area, a living room set up with leather easy chairs, sofas and love seats. There's also a really nice patio in back. The smoke elimination system works well; you're going to smell cigar smoke, of course, but your eyes won't burn and you can breathe. The crowd is mostly locals, making it a genuine neighborhood bar. I've yet to run into anyone here whose been rude or had too much to drink. All are friendly and able to carry on an intelligent conversation. No loud and rowdy people here. The bartenders have all been delightfully friendly, professional, and educated in their craft. The selection of premium whiskeys will not disappoint and there are a lot of choices in their walk in humidor. While not a cheap place, the pricing is in line with the high quality of atmosphere and beverages. If you like cigar bars, don't pass...

I’m a fan of the place and judging by the moderate crowd inside when we went, we think it will do...

Once entering an establishment such as this, be prepared to be whisked away into a world of fine whiskey and cigars. Where a myriad of selections and terrific atmosphere await even the most experienced coniseurs out there. I know now, with Mr Griffin leading the way, you will most certainly find something that exites the pallet. Flights and futures will surley be founded at whiskey and ash for many years to come. Believe me, I will see you again. Not only with a cigar in hand but a fine...
