Just back from my field trip to my specialist cigars stores in Liverpool and Chester.

Flew from City airport ( very cool) to John Lennon airport ( not so cool!)

Had a splendid evening with friends Rodders and Mano over in Manchester at the Moss Nook award winning restaurant.

International cuisine,excellent wine list,service that I could not fault, comfortable surroundings and great ambience.

Most important,there were no objections to lighting up our Siglo VI’s after the meal.

So bravo for Moss Nook and if you are heading for Manchester it is well worth a visit..

Back to London office on Friday…Michelle is rather pleased with herself as she tells me she has sold out of the wonderful new Cohiba piramides 2006 within 24 hours of being told they would be available by Hunters and Frankau:-)

Hopefully more on the way soon:-)

Best

Mitchell
