Great pictures and a great story :clap:

You and Omar appear to be having a whale of a time! (I wonder if that is a Japanese saying.....sorry Yossie :-D )

Great to see that JJ Fox are pushing the envelope re the new "tasting" laws. Good on them!

I've not read most of part of the sentense but great pics!

whale? That's not so yummy. I would like to eat Australian beef rather than it.

So, I can be a friend with you. :-D

» Not sure about Brian. I'll have to ask.

» Neglected to get a full photo of Bill who was holding the PLs. Next time.

I’m finally getting around to posting photos that Mel39 and I took during our visit to J. J. Fox in London on October 27. Apologies for the delay, but I’ve been at work, and I’ve also been busy brewing up various batches of stout to get me through the cold winter months. I’m posting this while smoking a Partagas 898 from an excellent box that Czar Roberto selected for me, and drinking a Cherry Stout (Charlie Papazian’s recipe) that I brewed in August.

Mel and I in front of the walk-in humidor built this past January where the cigar museum used to be. The museum is now downstairs. I smoked one of my favorite cigars, a Ramone Allones Belicoso Fino. I believe Mel was smoking a Partagas, if memory serves me correctly, a Lusi.

J. J. Fox was a favorite hang-out of Sir Winston and we both felt it appropriate to pay homage to him.

The museum is definitely worth a visit as it contains all sorts of ancient cigars and curios.

The staff at J. J. Fox is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Spacious, warm surroundings with free coffee and water. Smoking, errr I mean, "sampling" is allowed and encouraged.

Bill graciously showed us the original PL magnums! They belong to a client who stores them at the shop. Alas, these are well beyond my reach, but at least I can console myself with the forthcoming PL Robustos. BTW, my thanks to Czarina Lisa for her work in getting the PL Robustos out.

Needless to say, Mel and I had a very memorable time at J. J. Fox and I encourage all to pay this fine establishment a visit. Mel’s a true gentleman and I look forward to meeting up with him once again when I next visit London, hopefully in the Spring. Also hope to see Graham there.
