Another year older! 🎉

I love birthdays. I love them because I tend to stretch them out over a week! 

Off to a long lunch today with Diana and Lisa at a swank French restaurant to celebrate. Lisa's birthday is a week away so we can roll the celebrations together. 

Lads on the deck tomorrow to continue the shenanigans. Long lunch with out of town friends on Saturday.  A man is blessed! 

Cigar wise, I will pull out one of the few remaining sticks of Por Larranaga Magnum from the 70's. Still one of my favourite cigars of all time. I will pair it with a nice bottle of Pol Sir Winston. After this week I will enter into one of my 2 month dry spells so I might as well make the most of it. 

I have fewer days ahead of me than I have behind me. With that in mind, each day is damn special!

Thank you for the laughs and friendship in sharing days passed, and for sharing magnificent days to  come!

Have a cracking day!

They have been fantastic

Coffee, dark coffee with a spoonful of cream, a touch of sugar and little bit of sponge cake.  When young it is “ready to rumble”. That is why I like them. They are excellent young (as long as you enjoy a ballsy cigar) and they blossom with a little bit of age. Well by blossoming I mean a mongrel wearing a dinner suit.

Dark coffee, medium full, edge of honey while combined with a touch of white pepper through the retro hale.

They are consistent at the best of times.

On the palate, Shortbread dipped in strong coffee with elements of stone-fruit on the fringes. It is an lovely mix of depth/complexity

Smoke is viscous (thick) and the flavours dip and climb providing a first class Cuban tobacco journey.

What I love about Connie A is that it is full flavoured. It is complex. It is medium full in body.  However this classy cigar never gets out of shape…there are no edges.

Normally (outside of the week before Christmas), the process for orders placed each week from the 24/24 sales is as follows, the stock is ordered from the warehouse the following Monday and once received shipping will commence that week. All clients will be notified by the logistics department when their order has been shipped and tracking details will be provided. If per chance there are delays with shipping we ask clients please to bear in mind our staff in logistics are doing their best to ship all orders placed the previous as swiftly as they can.

If you have multiple orders,  then they will be scheduled but the team will correspond with you. 

 Do not contact Diana unless there has been a significant delay outside of the above.
