The dry and warm weather held up thankfully and we smoked all through the range with the exception of the Eagle accompanied by copious quantities of Moet Chandon whilst enjoying music from an excellent Cuban band. Our thanks to Hunters and Frankau for yet another splendid evening. On Wednesday I enjoyed the annual Tobacco Trades lunch at Lords with guest speaker Carol Thatcher who was ab fab and a pleasure to listen to. Very supportive of the tobacco retailers rights to sell our products without excessive Government interference. Well done Carol. Wednesday evening I had dinner at my favourite restaurant Boisdale in Belgravia http://www.boisdale.co.uk/belgravia/ with Brian Ebbesen who has kindly agreed to assist at our planned cigar auction on the 30th November http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/document.php?id=cgarsnews.htm&title=Latest+News We smoked our way through 3 Punch Serie D'Oro no.1 each http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/punch-serie-doro-p-6441.html just because its my current favourite cigar:-) And, there are not many of these limited edition cigars left now so you have been warned! Top up your humidor before it's too late Dinner with clients this evening at Hakkasan http://www.hakkasan.com/ haven't been there in a while so that should be interesting followed by smokes at the Lanesborough http://www.lanesborough.com/ (beautiful smoking area) I think I'll take tomorrow off! I may need to as we are hosting two rather large parties on the weekend :-) Best wishes from sunny London Peaceful puffing Mitchell
