It is with great pleasure and excitement that Jon, Brian, and Colin announce the opening of Nice Ash in Summer 2023!


Nice Ash is the brainchild of a group of friends that enjoy drinking good bourbon and smoking good cigars. Nice Ash will offer a 600 sq. ft walk-in humidor, 600 sq. ft of retail area, and an outside patio accessible to all patrons to relax, converse, and enjoy a cigar.

Attached to Nice Ash will be the Back Ash. A 1300 sq. ft private area with 72 private lockers for the members along with an 800 sq. ft private patio. Back Ash will offer members exclusive 24/7 access. The lounge will have seating for 40+, numerous TVs for your favorite sporting events, gaming tables, and refreshments (honor system).

Even though our physical location is in Houston, we hope to have offerings for all Aggies regardless of where they may live. This fall we will be offering delivery to Aggieland for all home game weekends! One of the three owners is always in attendance, and we thought this would be a great way to get some premium cigars to those not in Houston. We will also be offering shipping at cost.

This is the first time any of us have ventured into anything like this and we are very excited for the journey. We look forward to and hope that many of you will be a part of this journey with us!

Brian '88 - This Denver native spent summers in Texas, and finished high school in Shepherd Texas. Brian earned his B.A. in Marketing at Sam Houston State University as well as graduate work at Texas A&M (Int'l Business) and Rice University (Managerial Chemistry). Brian started his career in energy with Diamond Shamrock (now Valero), and recently completed his 29th year with Shell USA, Inc. in Houston. Throughout his career, he has delivered commercial impact globally across many of Shell's business units including Retail, Chemicals and Shell Pipeline. In his current role in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, he helps to lead Shell's supply-chain transformation by focusing on developing the pipeline of small and/or diverse-owned business enterprises. Look for Brian to bring his passion for small business, sports, music, wine and bourbon as we build out a First-Class experience around cigars to Nice Ash-Houston!

Colin '10 - Colin was raised in Gonzales and attended Shiner St. Paul just up the road. While attending Texas A&M he was an active member in his department's events while working at a number of bars around B/CS before obtaining his degree in Poultry Science. After graduating in Dec. '09 he found himself back in Gonzales managing several poultry farms in the area before venturing into international markets for feed additives and launching a new division for a multinational minerals company. His passion for new projects and cigars, that began at the age of 12 when his dad gave him his first Arturo Fuente 8-5-8, has him excited to make Nice Ash the best cigar lounge in Houston.

Jon '00 - As a Native Houstonian, Jon attended Spring Woods High School where he played football, golf and FFA. While attending Texas A&M he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, Company E2 and received a degree in Industrial Distribution. After graduating class of 2000 (WHOOP!) and working in corporate America, he decided to start Comflow Mechanical Services which is a 5 time recipient of the Aggie 100 award. The start of Nice Ash is more of a passion but his business expertise will help this small start up reach new highs.

Let us know what you like to pair with your favorite cigar and you'll be entered to win 3 packs of five cigars. The cigars will be the owners go-to sticks.

Does this mean Colin is unbannable now that he's a sponsor?

An offer to all TexAgs users - We will match or beat the price of the major online retailers on full box orders (as long as it is not some super promotion). Shipping is always at cost.

Look forward to seeing y'all come by.
