I|’m off to Havana to celebrate the Partagas anniversary for the weekend so I escape the cold weather of London for some 30C heat of Havana 🙂 Looking forward to herfing with many friends as ever. I|’ll be looking out for the new Partagas Replica humidor which will hopefully be released for the event.

 

I|’ll be making another load of vintage cigars available next week so if you are on my mailing list look out 🙂

The Prime of New York :-)

Continuing my quest to smoke,eat and drink my way through New York :-),I spent the afternoon herfing in Little Italy at Florios Grill and Cigar Bar ( 192 Grand Street NY NY 10013 )

 

Florios is something out of the Sopranos !….and very cool it is too.Super friendly service,very nice menu and cigar friendly inside and out. If you’re in the Big Apple….visiting Florios is an absolute must www.florios.com

 

4 hours and 3 cigars later….time to drop into The Carnegie Club for my early evening drink and smoke with friends:-)

 

…. and now for dinner, Prime Grill is probably the premier kosher restaurant in New York and rightly so.The restaurant is a good size and was absolutely packed full,in fact there was a queue of around 20 people as well! First rate menu and service Check it out on this link http://www.theprimegrill.com/

 

Yes and I spotted cigar smokers dining in the outside dining area as well 🙂 G-d bless America !

 

Well that’s all from New York… I’ve chomped my way through The Big Apple for the last week at an average $2.05 to the £1 and had a great time herfing with many good friends…. thanks to all I met up with and for those I did not see on this trip,I look forward to catching up on my next trip.

Solo in New York :-)

Even more sunny warm weather today in the Big Apple :-)….and loads of people in fancy dress for Halloween !!!!!….everywhere !!!!…scary 🙂

 

Spent a few hours at the incredible Blatt Billiards http://www.blattbilliards.com/EnterPage2.html and was kindly given a guided tour of the entire Billiard table restoration process by my friend Vic who is soon to publish an incredible Encyclopaedia on Billiards ( a must for all devotees)

 

Lunch and a stroll round The Village followed by drinks and smokes at Club Macanudo with friends in the early evening.

 

Superb dinner at Solo www.solonyc.com  with friends Matt and Jeff completed a splendid day:-)

New York! New York!

The weather in New York has been glorious,crisp in the mornings and mild in the afternoons with clear blue skies,perfect weather for a walk in Central Park with a good cigar 🙂

 

Picked up Davidoff Platinum at the Davidoff shop on Madison avenue and smoked it whilst window shopping on 5th avenue.In was very pleasantly surprised at this cigar.

 

Lunch was al fresco in Little Italy at Sofias ristorante Italiano on Mulberry Street,no complaints about me smoking a cigar,in fact two other diners were smoking cigars! Excellent food,wine and service.

 

Herfed at the Carnegie Club with friends last night and enjoyed some excellent custom blended cigars whilst “Frank Sinatra” crooned and his orchestra played in the background.The place was packed with cigar smokers…a delight!

 

My London office reports that Por Larranaga Magnificos are due to be released tomorrow and Montecristo Reserva in 10 days time….should be some nice smokes to come home to:-))

 

OK…I’m off to Kosher Delight on Broadway for a mountain of lunch (!) then a cigar at Davidoff on Columbus Circle…tough job and all that 🙂

Club Macanudo in New York…..

I enjoyed a very chilled out Saturday night at Club Macanudo in New York with some dear friends. The ambience and the service can only be described as …perfect.

 

Dinner was accompanied by some very tasty Château Lafitte 98 which worked very well with some custom blended robustos we smoked.

 

Club Macanudo reminded me of the Churchill Cigar Bar and Divan in Londons Portman square….RIP, how sad.I think I should spend more time in the Big Apple 🙂

 

The weather is beautiful, clear blue skies and crisp early morning air so Sunday was time for sightseeing and we met up with old friends Jenn and Craig at Battery Park to take the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island followed by a very entertaining dinner at Jekyll & Hyde www.eerie.com …now that was a good laugh:-)

 

….have to dash for a smoke:-)

 

Peaceful puffing from New York
