BLEND Bar with Davidoff Cigars will host a private grand opening celebration Jan. 19 and will open to the public by late January in The Woodlands Waterway, at 1701 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands. The upscale cigar and bourbon bar offers more than 22 premium cigar brands such as Davidoff Fuente and Diamond Crown and a wide selection of spirits, such as Balvenie, Blanton’s Pappy Van Winkle, Johnny Walker, Odyssey and Fuzzy Vodka. BLEND will also offer wine and gourmet lunch and dinner fare, including cheese boards, platters and sandwiches along with Hubbard and Cravens espresso and French press coffee. “We’re just thrilled to death to be coming to The Woodlands,” owner Mark Holden said. “The Woodlands is very strategic for us because it gives us a national footprint. So we’re one of the few upscale cigar and bourbon concepts with a national footprint.” With locations also in Indianapolis, Nashville and Pittsburgh, The Woodlands location will be the fourth BLEND in the U.S. The bar was originally planned to open in fall 2017. 832-791-3050. www.blendbarcigar.com
