So, sun now out... my latest spot to enjoy a cigar. The original spot, on the other side of the quay can be seen on the left (where the large parasols are):



Had a nice chat with a fellow cigar smoker upon arrival. Just spotted a couple of other lighting up some long panatellas.

My DG, next to the beer that it was enjoyed with, a Kirin Ichiban (a Japanese beer):



Must dash, laptop battery about to die...

Is that one of the DG Robustos Simon?

Had a look at them a while back, any good?

[cohibaIV]

Hmmm Siglo III me thinks

[cj121]

A JLP much earlier, A Fernandez Sig series a bit later (had to put it down) and just on my second Bolivar CJ (v.powerful lil' buggers that have acclimatised nicely now)

cj - not one of the robustos. It seemed more of a PC size. Not 100% sure though... I'll get onto celsis and find out...

It wasn't a bad smoke (expect a review in the next half an hour), but it was well and truly overshadowed by my second, and excellent, cigar of the day... a Vegas Robaina Famosos. Very, very nice indeed. (Also a review due this evening).

It was a very nice day all around... The sun (eventually) came out and there was a musician (cover-artist) was playing by the water front just far enough away not to be annoying, but close enough to be enjoyed.

Looking forward to your VR review Simon. I'm going to come and gush in your thread about the Famoso too.

another well behaved piedra for me, didnt fancy any premium smokes, but wanted 45-hour chill time, was a treat. massive smoke, creams, no lighting assitance, just what I wanted.

Monte Edmundo tonight on the patio. Watched the bats swooping about overhead through the cigar smoke.

Just finished an H.Upmann No.2 whilst listening to the football in the 'smoking' shed, enjoyed with a nice bottle of red wine...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Looking forward to having a gander at that Simon.

@ DAve, the VR's are a lovely smoke

A Partagas SD No 4 Reserva (the widowmaker)

Does one know where I could possibly procure such delicasies without breaking the bank 'too much...!?!'.

Cheers, HabanoSy

It might be up tomorrow now... spent a while on the VRF review and plan to take it easy for the rest of the evening.

It wouldn't be the widowmaker if it could be sourced without breaking the bank 'too much'...

lol, yes very true...

Still, what they don't know, can't hurt them...!!!

Cheers, HabanoSy

Had a Punch Black Prince followed by an RyJ Exhi 4 last night.

As I was down in the "Garden of England" I popped in to see Roboooosto and after some wonderful fish & chips we repaired to a pub on the sea front for a drink and a cigar.

I'm seen here smoking a Hoya de Monteray Petit Robusto, I'm not sure what the Boss was smoking but I am sure he will tell us as soon as he is back from walking the dog.

Thanks Bry, great company, wonderful evening.
