Berlin Cigar Men (at Pussycat)

A cruisy and monthly cigar social hosted by Schöneberg mover and shaker Olaf Hartmannsgruber (ex-Munich), who over several nights during Berlin's Folsom weekend in 2015 staged a Fugger Cigar Lounge that harnessed conventionally manly activities such as cigar-smoking and rum-tasting, mostly for BLUF leathermen. The sporadic events continued at the now-defunct Café des Artistes (and Tristan/Isolde) in the Fuggerstraße, but in May 2017 shifted across the Martin-Luther-Straße to nearby cosy den Pussycat [see entry], where Hartmannsgruber stages socials aimed at cigar/pipe smokers and their admirers every first Friday of the month – neatly coinciding with the increasingly popular monthly leather-specific Black Weekends (also part of Hartmannsgruber's Male Space domain). Other linked events include BLUF nights, Testosterone (at Gretchen in Kreuzberg) and sit-down leather dinners. Check website for details.
