Hey guys I'm really glad you all enjoyed it. I will post a longer note later when I get caught up with all the other jobs I missed having so much fun with you lot but in the short term please don't forget your "Homework"

There is a Habanos booklet, size wall chart and ring guage (RRP About ?10) for each of you when you have made 3 posts on other cigar forums, or cigar related web sites.

Please note this includes posting pictures and comments on the Cuban Cigar Walk Facebook page.

Great snaps guys !
Looked a humdinger of a day.
Is that telegram photo better quality on your phone, would love to know what it says, I can see a date of 7/8/45 I think.
I wondered if it was regarding Churchills flight to America 45-46 and speech at Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri.
Why was it left in a cigar shop as well ?
Why was the paparazzi there !

Like the photos from the walk, especially all the single malts and the Sautters humidor.I could easily pass an afternoon in there just browsing.Looks like everyone had a really enjoyable day.

Whisky

Took the photos of the whisky for you guys North of the border.

Gentlemen it was an absolute privileged pleasure to enjoy your company while surrounded by the aromatic haze of many fine rolled puros.

I had great fun and learnt a lot during the course of the day. I've just had a look through my photo's and there are some goodies. It might take me until tomorrow night to upload them though - lent my card reader to a mate grrr!

Thank you to Nic for the walk, Deano for the effort of maintaining the forums, and to all of you who traveled much further than me to meet on the day. TJ you are a respectable ambassador for the people of SoM, Mexico - it was an honour.

The day was quite simply, splendid.

In a classic man-to-man pratabout, Dale texted. First phone contact ever.

Paul Dawg and I lobbed this one back from the Kent milk train:




And you fired back what is the best snap I've seen of the day so far:



What great company, and what a Stogieman Star you are, my man!

JJ Fox used to sell to Churchill, thus the memorabilia. Interesting little museum they've got downstairs, worth a look.

The memo is to Truman basically slagging off De Gaulle!

And: oooooh look at Dale in first class!

Nic I hope that I can get away with two: one on "A N Other" site and then your walk being plastered across this site and the UK Cigar Forum front page! I neeeeeed that chart.

[nicwing]

You may qualify for special dispensation Deano.....I'm cogitating!

[Deano]

That sounds painful
