In Praise Of Small Cigars

18 Jun

  My “luxury” problem consists in having too many large sized cigars and, except for the summer months or the pharmacy meetings, no proper time to smoke and enjoy them. What I’m always in need of are small, ca. 1 hr sized cigars, that I can smoke in my Cafe or the pub. So, I’m Read more…

ANS – The Cigar Box

19 May

  Last Friday’s cigar meeting had nothing to do with a cigar box. But it will be remembered as the pharmacy cigar meeting where Andreas decided to start having a cigar box handy. Big applause and carry on as usual. It was one of those Friday cigar meetings where people come from all over the Read more…

Father’s Day – Cigars & Steaks

10 May

  A nice event in a nice old farm-house near us yesterday where we spent a few hours enjoying best steaks from Uruguay and good cigars with friends. All very unhurried and stylish. The Cain Daytona F was certainly a very decent NC. Other than that we did what we do best – relax and Read more…
