The SOTL Global Movement proudly celebrated an evening in Atlanta, where Burn by Rocky Patel – Atlanta was officially recognized as a Certified Women-Friendly Cigar Destination. The event, hosted and organized by Robin Blue, CCST, MBA, marked an important moment for women in cigar culture and served as a preview of what is coming next.
The celebration brought together leaders, passionados, partners, and supporters. Supported by the hospitality of Lou Ann Steffens, the night showcased what it truly means to create a sophisticated and empowering environment for women in the cigar world.
Special thanks were extended to Bespokuture (Omar Kinnebrew) for his attendance, contribution, and giveaways, and General Cigars (Leo Brown) his giveaway, and to Neal Management Group for the beautifully executed decorations.
This event was the first spark of a larger international series.
In 2026, SOTL Global Movement will launch its FIFA Watch Parties across Women-Friendly Cigar Destinations around the world.
