New launch in the UK

[Mel39]

Hunters and Frankau are to hold another Summer Cigar Party in June after the success of their Maduro 5 launch last year.

The two new cigars will be the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial (5 ½” /141mm x 50) and the H.Upmann Magnum 50 (6 ¼” /160mm x 50).

Entry fee is £75 for which I guess you will get one of each and they have promised a third to take home.

Still thinking if I'll go for it. There'll be Cuban Music and Mojitos so may be worth it but I have to watch pennies now and it will depend on if I'm working or not.

Just a heads up for the interest of FOH members really.

Thanks Mel.

I have tried both cigars and they were good if not great. I will be interested how the regular production taste.

If you take a few photo's for me (...the women Mel....not the cigars) and do a review of the cigars I will cover half the cost.

You can be the official FOH event reporter

El Prez, that's a great idea...almost live coverage on every Cigar Launch...sort of ESCN :-D

Do i qualify as 'FOH event reporter' since i took photos (2/3 women, 1/3 cigars) of Launching of new Bolivar Armonia ER there in Beijing, China (under post of 'Request: Beijing') ???

:clap:

Mel,

El Prez's coverage is a winner, just remember that the photos are for the women and the grand surroundings of the event while you are reporting! Wish you much fun!!!

You set the standard. The only critique I would make is the need for "post event' photo's ;-)

For the 'post-event', there were no PG/PG13 rated ones... :lol3:

Geeeee...........you are a tough boss !:-D

[El Presidente]

Where is your journalistic integrity!!!!!!!

For Gods sake man..take the photo's and to hell with the consequences :cool:

PS...Ken... this is not an invitation to publish the photo's you hold of Cuba.

Mel, it will be interesting to see how these two cigars compare to their "EL" predecessors. I wasn't particularly fond of either one. Maybe in this case, the regular production will be better, given overall improvements in the quality of leaf and construction of late.

I feel honoured Prez but....

I really do not have a discerning enough palate for a decent review.

I have booked a ticket and will be pleased to take and post photos.

I will see if I can get some extra sticks and send them to you for an expert review.

Regards,

What I said to Rob, Shrink.

(To be gifted in appreciation of your incredible SOH which always cheers)

That's all folks, sadly no further requests can be accommodated.
