Wow, what a night we had at La Casa del Habano Edinburgh! On the 23rd of November, nestled in the cosy confines of 11 Lister Square, we hosted an extraordinary cigar and whisky sampling event that truly celebrated the finer things in life.
The atmosphere was buzzing with a sense of excellence. It was a privilege to facilitate such an event, where my passion for cigars and whisky could be shared with fellow enthusiasts. Having Sean Croley from Hunters and Frankau with us added a special touch to the evening. His anecdotes and extensive knowledge of cigars enriched our experience immensely.
But let’s talk about the cigars that truly stole the show. The Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No. 2 and the Partagas Maduro No. 2 were simply out of this world. The excitement in the room was palpable as everyone took their first puff – it’s not every day you get to experience cigars of such exceptional quality. Pairing them with Stalla Dhu Single Malt Whiskies was a stroke of genius; the flavours of the cigars and whiskies intertwined in a mesmerising dance.
The walk-in humidor at La Casa del Habano is always a highlight. It's a treasure trove for any cigar enthusiast, filled with an extensive range of premium cigars and accessories. Stepping into it feels like entering a sanctuary dedicated to the art of cigar smoking.
The evening was complemented by an array of canapés that were more than just snacks; they were culinary masterpieces that elevated the whole tasting experience. The live music set the perfect backdrop, creating an ambiance that was both lively and intimate.
What was scheduled to wrap up at 8:30 PM extended well beyond, as no one seemed to want to leave. The atmosphere was electric with laughter, conversation, and the sharing of stories. It’s the magic of events like these - they foster a sense of community, bringing people together in a shared passion.
In summary, the event at La Casa del Habano Edinburgh was more than just an evening out; it was an experience, a symphony of cigars, whisky, food, and music. It was a reminder of the joys of coming together over shared passions. If you weren’t there, you truly missed out, but rest assured, there will be more such evenings to look forward to. Cheers to an unforgettable night and the promise of many more to come!
