Welcome – step in !<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Saturday it was BBQ time again.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reiner<\/span><\/strong> invited us over for 2 beautifully cooked ducks\u00a0and we enjoyed an afternoon and evening of good food, fun and good cigars.<\/span><\/p>\n

We started with the H.Upmann 1\/2 Coronas, a staple cigar that, although too young and short always delivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

I then smoked the vintage H.Upmann Singulares A\/T and it was still a very powerful cigar, full of rich tobacco taste, strong and wonderfully kept by the vacuum sealed packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner it was a 2010 Diplomatic cigar, gifted by a good friend which was part of cigars presented to a ( non-smoking ) Russian potentate.<\/span><\/p>\n

This cigar was impressive in that it was smooth, creamy and remained smooth, mild and creamy throughout its progression, never changing its profile, no perceptible changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Delicious and funny enough I could have smoked this monster right after breakfast to a cafe con leche, overall a very “round” cigar in the sense that the blend was really spot on for a mild but rather large cigar. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reiner smoked a Reynaldo Cimarron that was all “leather and black chocolate”. <\/span>Rich.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday then a good dinner of Leberkn\u00f6del, Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes followed by a Cuaba Salomones – \u00a0<\/span>this Marca does nothing for me….<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But then we retired to the pharmacy office for another bottle of whiskey and it became Monday “A” time …<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Montecristo A’s for Andreas & Hans<\/strong> and my last Sancho Panza Sancho from ’00, lovely, grassy, lots of hay, great !<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The whisky was a Glenrothes Malt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Now it’s planning and booking time again for another trip to Cuba…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
