I had been blessed by having several places in the village where to enjoy a cigar both alone and with friends.<\/p>\n

But then the Irish Pub closed so it was good to have Cafe Emrich as an option, good quiet place with good service – until that one also closed…<\/p>\n

I found a good quiet place again in the Casino – a large lounge that I have been using all by myself, great place and service, but as the name implies, it is a Casino, not a dedicated cigar lounge. Still a good option so far and happy to have it.<\/p>\n

Now a friend from the Pharmacy cigar smokers group, Reiner<\/strong>, whose wife Stefanie<\/strong> runs a large local Hotel Rheinhessen Inn<\/a> decided to convert a large empty side-room into a very comfortable cigar lounge.<\/p>\n

So yesterday, Saturday February 1st we had the grand opening of the Rheinhessen Inn cigar lounge as a big party with all of the ANS Pharmacy Cigar Smokers participating plus many guests from regional cigar clubs and friends from all over Germany attending.<\/p>\n

I was particularly happy to greet fellow cigar smoker Ingo <\/strong>from D\u00fcsseldorf, one of the 747 Captains I shared my last duty flight to Singapore with.<\/p>\n

The opening party was excellent and very successful – we were all greeted with a glass of local sparkling wine and all drinks were free including a tasty finger food buffet.<\/p>\n

Reiner had even procured Ros\u00e9 wine for my favourite drink which I had after a good Weizenbier to start with.<\/p>\n

A big raffle was organized by Reiner with all the proceeds going to a Mainz\u00a0 support group that provides medical care for homeless people. The prizes were top notch and ca. 500 tickets @2\u20ac were sold. Lucky me for having a cigar lounge – unlucky me for not catching anything out of my 25 tickets … \ud83d\ude42
\nIn the end ca. 1.500\u20ac were collected as a donation.<\/p>\n

Additional contribution to support the donation came from Andreas<\/strong> the pharmacist, who auctioned off a superb 2004 original release box of Bolivar Gold Medals. It went for 400\u20ac to a local cigar club.<\/p>\n

Cigars were also plenty as there is a decent selection of both Cuban and Non Cuban cigars available for sale at the lounge provided by our friend Gottfried<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Also remarkable is the large and fine selection of rums and high-end spirits, Reiner being quite a rum lover himself.<\/p>\n

The lounge itself offers comfortable space for ca. 40 people and has an excellent air extraction system in place, a full bar, tv’s, wi-fi and all amenities of a good hotel, including a restaurant and a Vinotheque to taste the excellent regional wines of Rheinhessen.<\/p>\n

So we are once again blessed in the village having a good cigar lounge and a meeting point for all our cigar friends who visit the ANS and the region.<\/p>\n
