So apologies for not posting much lately but it isn't the same with photos for me. Anyway I have tried just fancy tricks & am giving this a test run. A couple of recent smokes, both taken in Bournemouth. Daughter has been there for 18 months now; she finished Master's Sept '14 & finally had her graduation couple of weeks ago. The H.Upmann was taken the visit before, just getting cold enough to put a waistcoat on. the LE 2009 is a fine smoke as I am sure most of you are aware. Well worth getting a few in before they become really HTF. After the Graduation20151105_134324-1C.jpg I slipped away to the Moon in the Square & smoked my last GR, the Robusto.20151105_174613C.jpg It was raining but the cover was reasonable in the courtyard, although not good enough to keep the seats dry. Enjoyed this smoke with a coffee & three dble Jamiesons.20151105_183620C.jpg Went back to the hotel & finished off the majority of a bottle of red as wife, mother drank white, sister was driving home so just had a sip & Grace managed a single glass. When someone asked me recently if I have a degree, I replied, 'no but I've paid for two!' Slept well.

Cheers Joe, I bought it for the event. The button hole was abrass poppy made from the fuse cap from a WWI shell found in France, which I wore recently to the Menin Gate. The suit is Gieves & Hawkes.

Great to see the visuals back and for such an occasion Simon. Congratulations to your daughter and family. Whilst skint, you must be very proud

Perhaps pop pop a thread up in the forum issues and call Deano into it as I'm not techy, sorry. I personally post any pictures up via Tapatalk and it seems pretty reliable on that front.

[Simon Bolivar]

OK, will do CJ

HA! Good on you, Si. Nice to keep them around while you're at it. And what a fantastic opportunity to smoke the last Cohiba Reserva. Great smokes, those ones. Nice pictures and story to boot as always

Enjoy the moments while they last, eh! And I see you had a good time uploading those pictures

Cheers Jez, persistence pays off I guess; to be honest I'd nearly given up.
