Karyn was busy checking the merchandizing in both shops and gave the team a thumbs up so well done Turmeaus!
Had a bite to eat at the Living Room in Liverpool….recommended although sadly no smoking area. Not to worry…smoking is legal in hotel rooms so I finished the evening with a Davidoff Margaux from 1987…sublime Peaceful puffing

The La Gloria Cubana Gloriosos, the first of the two Regional Edition cigars that have been authorised by Habanos S.A. in 2008 exclusively for the United Kingdom.

Just 20,400 Gloriosos have been made at Partagas, the factory responsible for La Gloria Cubana. They are presented in 2,040 numbered, varnished boxes with rounded sides containing 10 cigars each.

Sorry but you can’t have them! Not because I have smoked them all already ( always a risk ! ) but because they are not in the UK yet. Now we are ever hopeful that those lovely chaps ( and chapess’es!) at Hunters and Frankau will get their hands on them soon after Christmas…and so will we, but if you want to ensure your allocation,we will take your money now and guarantee your order as the interest in this limited edition cigar is higher than I have ever known for any other cigar.

Of course we do expect a substantial allocation but if you don’t preorder there is no guarantee we will have any left!

I have absolutely no idea! but who cares he’s still a great entertainer 🙂 http://www.manilow.com/

Saw him at the o2 this evening with my co – Director ( mission control) and I can honestly say he was as entertaining as when I first saw him at Wembley 30 years ago!

The o2 is an incredible venue and the acoustics were excellent http://www.theo2.co.uk/

Ahh…. cigar content? …Ramon Belicosos on the drive home :-0 Perfect end to the evening.

Have a great weekend

Following an 11 year tradition our pre Xmas herf was held at Boisdale of Belgravia,our current favourite hangout 🙂 

Dinner at 7.30 ( quite splendid although Zaff was sternly reprimanded for walking in with a lit cigar!) …all finished by 8.30 and smokes on the terrace for some hours afterwards 🙂 with some excellent single malt. 

Spotted Zoe Ball and husband Fat Boy Slim herfing some big cigars on the terrace whilst we enjoyed our usual staples…BBF’s P2’s and Monte 2’s 

Chris was……Chris ! 

Gordon was power herfing as ever,Craig was trying to keep up (did a good job) Wilkes was keeping his friend Yulia posing for photos ( only 22 and herfing Trinidad robusto extras!) and Zaff was ……talking ! 

Next planned herf Burns night

Peaceful puffing
