I am insanely jealous...

Gentlemen.

If any of you are down my way, you are most welcome to drop by for a Havana and a cuppa.

Friends drop by when they take the ferry across to France. I am about 20 minutes from Dover Port.

We could sit like big hairy gay bears and chat.

The offer is open to travellers from the forum. Just give me some warning so I can dust the surfaces and fetch the patchouli.

I'm sure Scottish Cuban thinks it's a balsa wood dolls' house compared to a butch log cabin.
(I'm thinking of how musicians carp and bitch about amps here).

It suits me just swell so I don't give a flying fuck, Coolio.

If I owned a yard I would definitely follow your lead and build something that nice to smoke in. You are a lucky man my friend.

[Robusto]

You are welcome here, Joe. When you come to the UK, factor in some time here, mate.

Thank you. I will take you up on that. I was planning to take a trip this summer, but things have changed a bit around here financially. I might have to put it off until the following summer or maybe next Christmas since it looks like I might have three weeks off next year for the holidays. That would be a perfect time to see what the cigar sanctuary is all about, no?

You'll have to make sure it's warm outside when you come out this way though since the "Golden Goblet" is the only warm place we can smoke in the winter. You shouldn't be subjected to such an awful American hole-in-the-wall.

"The Golden Goblet" conjours up all sorts!
Why not "The Golden Shower"?
Or "The Frantic Felch"?

Shit. I'd be party to any old digitally enhanced aerobics to get to smoke a cigar in a public place these days!


Any time, mate. Just think on and propose, and maybe we could get a herf off the ground with folk on here in your honour...

LOL! Or "The Dirty Sanchez" might be more appropriate/inappropriate.

Good morning chaps! Bryan your smoke house looks fab, its ideal for what you need. Its each to there own when it comes to an extra room, and whats affordable in these tight times. If your after some cheap heating ideas Bryan let me know and see what we can do. The fresh wood smell should last a few years but if not, go wood hunting in old sawmills and find some new pine thats knotted and leave that laying in your shed, now and then cut the knot with a saw and the fresh knot sap engulfs all around and that lovely fresh smell is back!.

Hi Chris. I use a couple of halogen heaters - always manically supervised! - when I'm down there and it's cold weather, and they heat up the space really well. I thought about a couple of oil-fired radiators. I'm on the mains electricity circuit connected to the house down there. To be honest, it's warm even in cold weather. I just need heating if it's frosty or snowy - but don't really use it then anyway.

Your thoughts? Given the inflammability factor with a wooden cabin? A wooden cabin used as this noble gentleman's cigar smoke palace? LOL!

The knotted wood idea is great. There's nothing better than the smell of fresh wood.

My dog chewed through my laptop electricity cable overnight so I have to drive over to Comet in Folkestone to get a repacement. Savage labradors, hey?!

Hi Bryan, halogen heaters are one of the cheapest ways,and probably the best but if you wanted something different and authentic, screwfix or even machine mart do a wood burning stove. They have closed doors and come with the chimney shute, i think they are about ?100 which i dont think is too bad.Then B&Q do a thing called a firebrick in bags of 50 and all they need is a piece of firelighter and they throw out tons of heat, and with the closed doors are safe!!. I built my mum a summer house and fitted a fire the same and she sits in it in the middle of winter and has to have the door open it can get that warm. I cheated with mine lol, i piped my central heating into mine, triple insulated the pipes 2 feet under ground and its like a sauna sometimes.
Hope you got your cable sorted! not great when they do that haha, I wont mess with your labrador haha.
I have the fresh smell of timber in my house still its fab.Have to say i got the idea from when i was in Canada, i stopped with a family member there and they had them in the roof and the smell every morning i would say is better than fresh wood.

[Robusto]

A wood burning stove would be brilliant over the cold times, Chris. I'll think on.

I've got to get my lads to tidy their stuff up down there, as you will soon see...

I've just got back a Yamaha electric piano which I gigged from the mid 80s. Very dear piece of analogue kit to me, if well battered. I'm going to set it up in a corner down there permanently. The neighbours love us playing from this house, and some cool musos who have just moved in from Brixton - including a really talented guy on drums - want to join up for some playing in the shack.

So hip, hey?! lol

I can really practise playing keys with a monster stogie on down there lol.
