To me, one of the most rewarding experience being a cigar lover is to be able to meet great guys around the world who not only shares the same passion to cigar hobby, but more often, these fellow aficionados are truly friendly, generous (time spent) and genuinely helpful in every endeavors.
In February, I was there in Frankfurt attending the Ambiente and some business meetings while emailed the famous Flying Cigar, Mr. Nino. Fortunate for me, he was not flying around so we arranged to meet up.
Flyingcigar, Nino took me walking around town of Frankfurt. It was very historical and indeed interesting. Old Mercedes Benz showroom, Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof (housed the best cigar lounge in town, Cigarrum), EU Central Bank, River Main, Old town of Frankfurt (new buildings were once bomb-sites), his favorite restaurant (Central patio allows smoking), German cider drinks, Opera House, Meyer Store & Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Thanks to him, we enjoyed a most pleasant afternoon together, smoking cigars and talking about Havana, mutual friends and matters in general. I am very pleased that Nino was happy with a cigar gift I brought him. There is no other way I can thank a fellow aficionado for taking his time & heart to spend such a great afternoon with me (stranger in town). What a great guy!
