July 2009

We start our “culinary cigar adventures”.

This should have been the first in this series ( Chinese Take Away Smokes and Middle East BBQ Smokes being the other two ).

The usual suspects gathered last day of July in a nearby village to celebrate Bernhard’s birthday and enjoy a get-together in a very down-home style – good food, cold beverages, good cigars and little fuss.

The food : Excellent Buffet delivered and set up by Richard Müller our friend from the village’s “Café Fritz-Hilton”, consisting of cold hors-d‘ouvres and Italian antipasti followed by hearty German meat dishes like Veal and Beef as well as grilled shrimps in garlic.

Beverages : Mostly draught beer, Sparkling Wine, regional Wines, German and Austrian digestives’.

The cigars : Bolivar Belicoso Fino from a Cabinet, H.Upmann Sir Winston from LCDH Berlin, RyJ  Prince of Wales – all of them more than good, we enjoyed smoking ourselves through the selection.

The fun : To see Bernhard receive a beautiful British “smoking cap” …….. priceless !

Retired life has a good beginning !
