From the Philippines. Cheap and cheerful and just right when you don't know when you will have to leg it inside from the rain.

How was the Duke?

Short Churchill, out with the wife celebrating her birthday, was hoping they’d have a more suitable smoking area for cigars but unfortunately not, note to self when taking the misses out for her birthday treat make sure above all else the selected restaurant has facilities that allow for one to enjoy a nice, relaxing, after dinner smoke lol

Really improving. Wasn't totally satisfied with the last few I've had. Some slight harshness still remains but very good, best of the lot so far.

Had some burn issues. Not sure if it's a bad wrapper or just humidity outside, but wasn't the easiest smoke.

Flavour excellent and luckily had a solid meal beforehand. Packs a punch

Sad isn't it? Many restaurants used to have a desk top type humi, which would be passed around after the meal. Not nice if it's the table next to you & you're still eating but most decent sized establishments had another room where you could go to enjoy your cigars in peace. 2007 ban ended all that in the UK.

Although, in London & some other big cities have more cigar lounges, they are expensive & generally they want you to buy their cigars, not smoke your own.

What annoys me most is any smoking shelter outside can only have 3 sides & usually there's gaps at the top & bottom too. Why? Only smokers are there, no one else being bothered.

Best facillites I have seen is at Vin du Cave little bothy type huts, very nice. Best solution, have something at home, a sun room or shed/lounge in the garden. Wait until you get home & then enjoy your own cigars, with as much alcohol as you desire!
