Nice Little Surprise... What Should I Spend it On?

[Simon-JG-hr]

What a nice way to arrive back at my parents' after a trip back down to Plymouth to get away from things a bit (and to grab a few sticks from my humi)... I checked my mail and there was a lovely little letter from those nice chaps at HMRC, for a change it was a pleasant surprise as it contained a rebate that I'd been rather hoping for...

The question is, however: aside from the box split on the Short Robustos, what else should I look at picking up with my little bonus? You see, I'm an altruistic person, and I feel that in these times of great need I should do my part and give most of my rebate straight back to the government...

Long live HMRC...

Hmm, a decent Scotch would go down a treat with a Short Robusto!

Ooh, good thinking. I need to replace bottle number twenty of the collection, which was unfortunately lost due to excessive imbibition...

Or what about some nice 2010 Bordeaux, if of course your a wine lover and your rebate stretches that far obviously, that's what I'd spend it on anyway.

If it stretches far enough...!?!

A box of Ramon Allones Superiores and a bottle of Ron Zacapa Rum...

Seriously...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Simon,
Just posted this on a previous thread of yours...nows the time

Yeah if it stretches, I don't know how much the rebate is worth and I'm obviously not going to ask, but in a month or two I intend to treat myself to a case of Chateau D'Issan 2010, which after the VAT and duty bill comes in next year will have cost me something over ?600. As I said if it was me that's what it would go on.

Hmmm, nice thinking Gary. The cheque would just about stretch to something pretty decent, and I've always liked the idea of buying en-primeur... but it's something I'd probably only do if the cheque was a bit bigger (and allowed for a couple of other purchases too). I like wine, but don't drink it too often, so tend to just pick up a couple of bottles from BBR when I'm in London - it usually sees me through to my next trip.

Puff - great minds think alike! I'd love one of them, but it wouldn't really fit the bill of what I need for my whisky at the moment. I can continue dreaming about my globe cabinet for the future...

Sy - that could fit the bill, certainly something I shall consider.
