\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am just back home from Havana where I learned that Simon Chase had passed away.<\/p>\n

The news devastated and saddened the cigar community there as it has saddened the cigar world.<\/p>\n

Many cigars have been smoked in his honour and so did we smoke cigars in Havana remembering this great friend, mentor and gentleman.<\/p>\n

I remembered the many cigar tastings, dinners and encounters we had in Havana – always so much to learn from Simon and always a good laugh too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His presence was everywhere. While in Havana came the Facebook timeline memory of a memorable dinner at La Guarida with him. It hurt.<\/p>\n

A true gentleman he will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n

RIP Simon Chase.<\/p>\n

Nino<\/p>\n
