THE RITUAL OF THE CIGAR AND SACRED SMOKE
A CIGAR PRIMER FROM A LEATHER AND LAKOTA PERSPECTIVE

The cigar often conjures a sense of power, mystery, success, and celebration. Within Leather circles, the cigar evokes power and raw sexual energy. Those who engage in the ritual of the cigar often find that it is also an equalizer and a bridge, connecting folks who may never otherwise cross paths. As Beast has explored his Lakota heritage, he has found a deeper understanding of the cigar as an expression of tobacco, which is considered a sacred medicine. This workshop, led by Beast will include smoking where permitted but can be done in a non-smoking environment as well. He will cover general cigar knowledge and history, as well as some of the history within the Leather world and certain aspects of the indigenous beliefs and spirituality of Beast's Lakota tribe.

UP IN SMOKE
CIGAR SERVICE AND PLAY

Cigars have a long history in the Leather world, but many are just discovering the connection that can be built through the fellowship of the leaf, or how incredibly hot it can be to add cigar service to your high protocol play. Here, Beast (he/him) and echo (she/her) will lead you through a brief primer on cigars including a little history, understanding various types and characteristics, selection, and storage. The heart of the class will be focused on cigar service, including the various tools and accoutrement involved in cigar smoking and their proper use. We will cover preparing a cigar, cutting, lighting and presenting. as well as some of the more erotic practices common to cigar service in the Leather and BDSM world. We will end on a discussion of cigar play and ways to use various parts of the cigar in a scene. Where possible, this class will include demo and class participation. Attendees are not required to bring anything but are welcome to if they would like.

THE SWEETEST SOUND
URETHRAL SOUNDING FOR VAGINA OWNERS

Some play is fun, some is sensual, some is intense, some play is a mind-fuck, and some is a bit terrifying. Sounding can be all of those things wrapped up in one. If you can overcome the common initial reaction of, "you wanna put what? where? why??" you may discover an amazing sensory experience, and often the most intense orgasms of your life, as the sounds pass right through the internal anatomic structures of both the clitoris and the g-spot. Sounding is intensely amazing, and Beast will walk you through the mechanics of it, as well demonstrate how much fun these scenes can be for both the top and bottom.
