\"nfcI met the genial John DeCosta<\/a> last year at a small and intimate dinner in Havana at La Guarida with Stephan von Schilling, Simon Chase and other good friends. <\/span><\/p>\n

Very interesting background and lifestyle, quite fascinated listening to him and so I was very happy and honoured to recently receive his invitation to the launching of his new enterprise Cigar Sanctum<\/a>, the first design house dedicated to creating jewellery for cigar smokers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Along with Frank and Jimmy I assisted and enjoyed a very relaxed afternoon with the “inner circle” of the Havana cigar life, meeting the usual suspects like Ajay, Rob & Stuart Fox, Simon, Jemma, Alex, Jose Antonio, Toby, Neill and many more of the kind of people that enrich the atmosphere by their presence and good natured fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horst “Ocho” and Christof “Pavo” were there, I am grateful for most of the pictures in this and all the other reports from this year’s Havana trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all received a nice bag with a farm rolled cigar, a brochure on Cigar Sanctum and a small bag containing a keepsake, the replica of an old English coin stamped “In Memory Of The Good Old Days” – very fitting as we were all quite happy in Havana.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanctum’s creed is : In Puros Amicitia<\/a> – In cigars there is friendship and the launching party was the perfect example of that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Old friends. New friends. All brought together by the passion for great cigars and Cuba.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a good conversation with Belen, John’s charming Argentine wife, about Buenos Aires, I took in all the very delicate and artistic work in John’s cigar jewellery line. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fascinating, elegant and quite masculine, I can see myself wearing some of the stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially if he starts designing cigar marca rings like Jimmy wears…<\/span><\/p>\n

A very relaxing afternoon away from all the Festival circus meeting all the friends and relevant people that make Havana swing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you John and best of luck with your venture !!
