Cigar Butler anyone

[thedame007]

I am not sure if any of you folks have come across one of the latest Sautter videos where he is reviewing the Connie A.

At about the 10 min mark he starts to discuss a new initiative he is going to be launching, a form of 'cigar butler' service. This is basically where the 'butler' makes a home visit once a week/month where they will clean and season your humidor, turn your cigars, and have a conversation about whats smoking great right now, learning your preferred flavour notes, and offering up new smokes to broaden your pallet - all of which you can get from them there and then.

He is also planning to roll this out nationally, which surprised me.

I can only imagine the cost that this will entail for the customer, however i do think that this is a novel, and interesting idea, and a way to offer a unique and competitive personal service to try and curtail some lost sales from online retailers.

This seems very interesting but I believe that a service like that is for people with deep pockets which I don't have.

Of course it is. I certainly don't want pampering like this!

It's insane, i also would prefer someone NOT to be touching my precious sticks...

Hands OFF, sir!

Yes, get him to quote to visit you in Paris weekly just out of interest...

Haha. I pretty sure that even in the UK a service like this would cost you the price of a nice box of cigars per month.

Some people in London do seem to have lots of money to waste on feel good lifestyle stuff.
Can't see it working outside that area.

If you're in London you can just pop down to Sautter's!

To be fair - Lawrence is always there and very helpful with recommendations etc. He got me started with my first few sticks. Definitely wouldn't want him or anyone else coming over and prodding at my collection though!
