Greetings from delightfully warm London which is a welcome change from the last few months 🙂

Not sure if its the improved weather of the fact that cigar prices will no doubt be increasing in the budget but our 7 cigar shops and mail order offices have been busier than ever this week (thank you folks!)

So – you have been warned ! the budget is the 24th March and our ridiculous Government love to bash the cigars smokers by increasing tax every year. Best to get your order in soonest to beat the price increase.

Had a spot of lunch with Edward Sahakian of Davidoff on Monday at the splendid Francos opposite the Davidoff shop – perfect spot for a cigar and Edward kindly gifted me a Cuban Davidoff 300 which was first rate.

Tomorrow I’m off to Gibraltar for a vintage cigar tasting with a bunch of my cigar smoking pals which should be great fun.

Next Thursday I’m helping my friend Chelsea as a fantastic ‘Evening of Indulgence’ at Eight Moorgate If you haven’t been there I can tell you this one seriously cool venue,cigar friendly with a fabulous terrace for smoking cigars. We are doing a whisky tasting featuring Robert Graham exclusive single malt whisky.Details below if you would like to come along for this event

Dysart Street – Nearest tubes: Old Street or Moorgate.

Wishing you a smokey weekend- it certainly will be for me 🙂

Peaceful puffing
