Great weather over the last two days but not in London so I decided to zoom around our retail stores seeking hotter climates which I am pleased to report I did….20C + on Wednesday and Thursday and glorious sunshine in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Chester and wow the good weather certainly brings out the cigar smokers 🙂
I can’t remember seeing my cigars stores so busy selling Havanas in quite some time!
Obviously I had to sample some of our own brand whisky and can thoroughly recommend <hic> http://www.whisky-cigars.co.uk/allt-bhainne-1992-70cl-p-1975.html Allt a Bhainne ( don’t ask me how to pronounce it !) is the most delicious libation with a Bolivar Belicosos ….both thoroughly tested in Edinburgh followed by a dram of http://www.whisky-cigars.co.uk/braes-glenlivet-years-70cl-p-1626.html Braes of Glenlivet in my Glasgow cigar and whisky shop where I bumped into Steve McGinty who was smoking a Partagas short. Steve is the author of the excellent bookChurchills Cigar http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk/churchills-cigar-p-4582.html
In my Liverpool outpost it was good to see our revamped walk in humidor fully stocked up with delicious Havanas and testing a Partagas P2 I can confirm the humidor now works perfectly:-) Congratulations to Michelle from Turmeaus Liverpool on her forthcoming wedding. Turmeaus still blends some incredible pipe tobacco that you won’t find anywhere else in the UK,not sure anyone else in blending their own mixes in the UK anymore sadly.
Chester was buzzing in the sunshine and Watergate street was packed..and so was my cigar store which has one of the largest selection of Havana for many miles around in their massive walk in humidor. I even spotted some original Partagas piramides, Hoyo piramides, Monte C and Partagas SD1’s there,always lovely to find some goodies stashed away 🙂
Have a great weekend and peaceful puffing 🙂
Mitchell
