1920’s ‘Sweet Cigar Box’ Cookie Bar
Attention Cigar partygoers: the only risk involved in this one is…you won’t just have one!

To put it simply: Fine Event Designer Lea McIntosh never runs out of ideas. And here she presents a very cute and clever one she dreamt up for a Hollywood Glamour themed party that would be just as perfect for a posh evening wedding.

Certain items just scream luxury. Cigars are one of them. But how does one go about creating a cigar themed buffet that every guest can enjoy? Why turn the cigars into cookies and display them with the same panache and decadence one would expect for the real thing.

I love that for authenticity, each cookie came replete with an actual ‘vintage’ paper cigar label.

The ‘Sweet Cigar Box’ display could be a yummy idea for your event that will not only wow your guests, but will make a lot less smoke and a lot more Mmmmm…

Recipe ideas for these stogie sweets could begin with a myriad of handmade butter tuille, Florentine, and meringue cigar-shaped cookies. Some flavors could include white chocolate pistachio, Valrhona dark chocolate, and butterscotch almond all elegantly displayed in the vintage cigar boxes of your choice.

What a great idea! I love the mixture of the desserts with the bride/groom interest of cigars. This would go great with a Latin or Cuban-themed wedding as well.

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for dropping by! I love your idea of using the cookies for a Latin or Cuban-themed wedding! Makes me wonder what else could be replicated for themed weddings... They're like trompe l'oei in cookies instead of paint.
