Ash Wednesday Reflection ... And Some Fun

on

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent for millions of Christians around the world. It’s a day rooted in reflection, humility, and renewal. Traditionally, worshippers receive ashes on their foreheads as a symbol of repentance and the reminder that life is fragile and meaningful. At Haskins Hideout Cigar and Bourbon Lounge, we respect the significance of the day. It is a time for personal reflection, gratitude, and intention. And while we always keep that reverence in mind, we also believe there’s room for a little lighthearted community fun inside the lounge.

So in the spirit of Ash Wednesday, we’re hosting a contest that’s perfectly on theme.

🔥 The Longest Ash Challenge

Here’s how it works:

  • Light up your favorite cigar; build the longest ash you can without it dropping
  • Take a photo of your masterpiece
  • Upload it to the Haskins Hideout Facebook Page - look for the contest post
  • Make sure it’s posted before 8pm Thursday

We'll select two winners:  One winner will receive $25 to use toward cigars at Haskins Hideout (if your photo is taken while you're enjoying the cigar in our lounge); One winner will receive $15 to use toward cigars at Haskins Hideout (if the photo is taken anywhere else). Yes, we’re talking about ash. But this time, the goal is to keep it intact.

The Rules

  • Entries must be uploaded before 8pm Thursday
  • The ash must still be attached to the cigar in the photo - upload in the comments on our Facebook Page under the contest post
  • $25 credit for best ash picture taken inside Haskins Hideout Cigar and Bourbon Lounge
  • $15 credit for best ash picture taken anywhere else
  • Keep it classy and have fun

Whether you observe Ash Wednesday religiously, use the season for personal growth, or simply appreciate the symbolism of the day, this is a great excuse to gather with friends, enjoy a premium cigar, and maybe show off a little patience and skill.

Longest ash wins. Gravity is undefeated. Let’s see who holds out the longest.

We’ll see you in the lounge.
