Another fine weeks herfing including the Lanesborough – Their premier Cru Chablis has to be the best I have experienced as well as great value. Chablis could be the perfect white wine for a good Havana cigar; crisp and cleansing on the palate. I herfed my way through all sizes of Behike 52, 54 and 56 and the combo worked perfectly!

Had dinner at Boisdale Belgravia and smokes on the terrace with my usual smoking buddies and was not surprised to see the restaurant and terrace jam packed as usual. Great crowd, great food, excellent value – Basically Boisdale rocks!

Off to Nottingham on Sunday for the annual cigar dinner at the delightful Harts Hotel. Details on this link. Should be a wonderful evening of smokes, drinks and dinner with the best of company.

Some excellent cigar tastings planned at Boisdale of canary Wharf – Details on this link. The cigar library is one of the best locations in London to sample a fine cigar.

Next week I’ll be racing round many of our cigar stores and looking forward to finding some hidden gems in the walk in humidors as well as having a smoke and a good single malt at our fabulous Robert Graham shops.

If you haven’t signed up already… Hurry! Everyone needs to sign up against plain packaging and the consultation period ends 10th August so if you don’t want to see your lovely cigar boxes and bands gone forever – Make your voice heard now!

Have a smokey weekend

Peaceful puffing
