THE EXPERIENCE

Climb aboard a three-hour escape into the golden era of travel, where time slows, the landscape rolls, and the air carries the unmistakable aroma of a finely crafted cigar.

This is Indiana’s rolling cigar lounge, a moving sanctuary where smoking isn’t just permitted, but celebrated.

Featuring premium hand-rolled cigars from Drew Estate, ASH & IRON is one of the most unique cigar experiences in the country in a rare fusion of vintage railroading, top-shelf indulgence, and good company. This programmed journey will feature top whiskey ambassadors, cigar makers, and tobacco aficionados.

Settle into your seat, pour a drink, strike a match, and let the Midwest drift by like a scene from another era.
