Cigar Dinners - Alive & Kicking

[nicwing]

Hunters and Frankau have just posted a blog I wrote about the recent cigar dinner at the Montague hotel.

The lesson is, try not to just look at the headline price of these events, look at the value. In addition to a great evening I always learn a huge amount from Jimmy and some of the other smokers at the event.

I'm sorry if this is rude but how much would you pay for an evening like that? I don't like wine but I'm a big whisky fan.

Batler they vary massively depending on the contents...other than that, nic may be able to help.


Secondly; Nic - I did talk to Jimmy about a Brighton Hotel du Vin meet up. I think I'll press him again about this, as I'm pretty sure we can get half a dozen just from here.

Batler, this one was ?130 per head. Now I know that is a lot of money, for anyone. The point I was making was that if you added up all the drink and cigars (and I did, working my way through an internet price list for cigars and the Montague's own menus) I calculated that the dinner was, in effect free.

There are cheaper evening, join the H&F cigar club and you will be able to see a full calendar of events.

In most cases these are supported by the drinks brands and are, even at the price, great value.

That's not a bad price aslong as the food is good. Ill have to try and get involved in something similar soon
