Recently came across this.
It's rather lovely.

I liked their first album ....about 7 years ago I think.

Great cover ...any copyright issues?

The singer is a bit of a cigar fan I think!

What on earth gave you that impression

I think it was in 1996! ("Beautiful Freak", excellent album)

I saw some nonentity presenter on ITV2 wearing a T Shirt with this Cohibaesque image on his chest and I thought it was rather smart.

I don't want to go round with COHIBA splatted on a baseball cap or anything, but I quite like the idea of a pattern that would wake up any fellow aficionado who happened to walk past me.

Like a sausage code.

Men - I do think this lead Eel likes a bit of a smoke in any shape or form, but good on him for being a cigar champion.

May I just add that I am about to rehearse in a studio with six of seven band members who smoke.

We have found a rehearsal/recording space which allows smoke so go figure how I'm about to blast them out as we practise our scales.

Seems ever so human.

Lighting up a balloon in my nut as I page thee there.

Ciao.

PS Funny how so many co-opted bystanders say "It reminds me of Christmas".

It doesn't to me!

A rehearsal space where you can smoke????? Holy Hendrix this is musical heaven!

It's in the practice stable of a farm owned by a music studio owner in these parts who smokes, so if he does - we can, too, and with his blessing.

I quite enjoy a fat blast when playing. I'm better at cigar clamping and keyboard playing now because of this. I could only do it at home otherwise.

The boys love the Partagas whiff, too.

This badness makes me feel about 15. It's great.

It is amazing how naughty just smoking indoors feels when a few years ago you would need to be hitting that crack-pipe on the steps of a police station to feel so wild.

...or getting triple jacked over a steeple hammer!

I love it when I go abroad and you find out you can smoke inside....it all seems so civilised!

I "liked" and wrote on a Facebook group that Johnny Sautter sent my way showing support for indoor smoking.

I wrote my piece along lines that were in the air before the total ban.

Smoking rooms and non smoking rooms in pubs.
Smoking pubs and non smoking pubs.

I got a few LIKES and time passed.

Then along it came again advocating SMOKING ANYWHERE which I'm not in favour of.

Apparently the Tories want to reconsider the total ban.

Well... That's one thing I might like them for, then.
