\u00a0\"nfcWe were all supposed to have a nice outdoor Chile con Carne dinner in Josef’s garden, our resident Dutch cook.<\/span><\/p>\n

He fell ill and postponed the dinner for next Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, so after dinner at Massimo’s, our resident Italian, we took to the lab for some cigars, beer, spirits and the usual fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

We started with a crate of Heineken and Quintero Favoritos, which\u00a0 Andreas\u00a0 regarded as good and honest cigars as I already have previously.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sprinkled throughout was a fine wild oranges spirit that added the zest and fruitiness to the cigars and our conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next I smoked the brand new Montecristo Petit Piramides from the Festival, sporting the Montecristo band with darker brown and much gold that makes it look very much … Non Cuban.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not an impressive cigar, nothing to write home about, really boring hot air.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andreas opted for a book Bolivar that was stellar.<\/span><\/p>\n

I smoked the other Festival release, the Vegueros Ma\u00f1anitas and I am quite impressed with that little bugger. Truly very good, I liked it, peppery, sweet, lasting aromas, perfect. A very good smoke. Not a brand I had on my radar so the more I was impressed.<\/span><\/p>\n

By then we had progressed to munching snacks – a bag of Thai seaweed foils was destroyed and more Korean seaweed was procured and equally destroyed. I preferred the Thai version of the seaweed, much milder and delicate, not as salty and strong as the Korean version.<\/span><\/p>\n

The counterbalance was the Noisettes de Pharmacien, really sweet and nutty as it should be. Good Nuts, Andreas !!<\/span><\/p>\n

Then came the coup de grace – an 8 month old smelly, stinking, slimy but delicious Tilsiter cheese that we munched with gherkins and washed down with ice cold frozen Bommerlunder Acuavit, ice floating in the glass … truly perverted but yummy indeed. <\/span><\/p>\n

All in all a classic crazy Monday for us guys filled with the usual ingredients : good cigars, good spirits and good fun.
