Nice to find a fellow cigar smoker and fisherman down in the South West. I am in Wiltshire, between Devizes and Trowbridge and usually fly fish (lockdown permitting). Where in Dorset are you?
At the moment, I'm the complete antithesis of a cigar smoker and my introduction to the forum will explain why. However to address that issue, I have devised a 'cunning plan' to visit Rockbourne when it opens on 29 March to not only fish but actually provide the opportunity for my first cigar! To directly answer your enquiry, I live in Poole and I am a member of Sadac & a club on the River Wylye near Wilton.

Last Sunday was the last day of the English River Season & I was back out on the River Avon, near Ibsley Bridge.
For some reason I couldn't upload my photo's then so hopefully I can do now & close the season out. I did fish a couple of pits on Mon & Tues but blanked. That'll be it for me until last weekend of May, when the Dutch Predator season commences.
So, I had put a few chopped up old baits in the big slack yesterday, hoping to attract more fish to hold in rhe area.
Had an early start & was cast out & having breackfast by 07:40. 08:20, on that gorgeous morning & the first run was away. I actually saw the rod tip bounce & the line pinged out of the drop back clip & the alarm buzzed quietly (no need to have it set louder when you sit on the rods).
Winding down I connected with a hard fighting fish, that amazed me how long ot managed to fight with the strength of the current, more powerful than the prev wk. I chose to walk it up to the next swim as I had struggled to net the prev dble, with the current & bankside vegetation.
At the upstream swim, a semi-circular cut away swim, enabled me to land the best fish of my stay. Next day celebrated with a CCE.
Couple of hrs later & another jack was banke
My 🏴 PB of 14lb's still stands but I am confident it will fall before this time next season.

Following a four month long lockdown, Rockbourne Trout fishery reopened today and the Trout were very obliging. The New Forest surroundings together with the wonderful weather made it an outstanding first day of freedom, and all the while serenaded by birdsong and other wildlife stirring in the Spring sunshine. What an occasion to experience my very first cigar - an Upmann half Corona and what a result - truly a reward cigar!

Excellent! Couldn't have suggested a better backdrop to your first Havana. If you enjoyed the HUHC, which is a fine wee smoke, then I am just as certain you'll enjoy the others in your selection too. Any pic's of the fishery, trout & cigar?

Uploading can be a bit of a pain, I use tapatalk but have to crop pictures or they are too large to upload. Once cropped it usually works OK. That's a shame though, wish I had a pic of my first cigar, on my 18th Christmas, or even my first Havana at circa 34yo..Simon Bolivar: Liberator of Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru & Venezuela.
