Herfing in Lancs :-)

Stanley House in Lancashire was the venue for the monthly herf for the Claremont Cigar Club.


Now this hotel is something special …very classy indeed and the restaurant was phenomenal


Check out the details for Cassis restaurant on their website www.Stanleyhouse.co.uk


Attentive service that was beyond perfect and cuisine that would rival any restaurant I have been to in the UK.


The wine list was splendid and the sommelier very knowledgeable


A very comfortable cigar friendly lounge area ensured that we could enjoy our Bolivar Belicosos and Calvados in comfort.


The Claremont Cigar Club awarded Stanley House a 10/10 rating :-)

Alma de Santiago :-)

The Beatles immortalized Penny Lane in Liverpool and now you can enjoy cigars in a very cool atmosphere in The Alma de Santiago Bodega on Penny Lane.


In my attempt to experience every single cigar friendly bar and restaurant in London as well as the North of England my herf buddies Rodders and Mano enjoyed aperitifs and Partagas P2’s at the Alma de Santiago last night.


Excellent decor and ambience and first rate service ( Bravo for Liverpool.!..London establishments take a note!) complimentary snacks on the table,salsa music in the background…..yup..these guys have the right recipe and the menu is great too.


Here’s a link to their website www.almadesantiago.com


They also own Alma de Cuba www.alma-de-cuba.com not quite my cup of tea but still a popular restaurant and night spot in the centre of Liverpool….and smoking allowed :-)
