Single malt whisky: A fun night of taste and discovery
I do like a nice stiff drink with my cigars, often a dram of whisky. I’ve never thought about the different tastes and how they work with a cigar, until now…
What's new pussycat? My latest musings.
Romeo y Julieta No. 1 Cigar: Age isn’t always everything
I still remember the first Romeo y Julieta No. 1 cigar I ever smoked. I thought that cigars couldn’t get better than this. Unless I aged some; which I did…
Amante Picante Cocktail: Tequila with added spice
The Amante Picante cocktail is a tequila based cocktail with the traditional lime juice and added spice. Just how spicy is entirely up to you.
Nova Platinum Toro: Beautiful in blue
Known for their attention to detail and beautiful construction of their premium cigars, the Nova Platinum Toro was a creamy cigar full of fruity notes and fluffy smoke.
El Viejo Continente Classic Robustom: An exciting prospect
It’s a possibility that the El Viejo Continente Classic Robustom may be my new favourite cigar. I haven’t been as excited to see how a cigar ages in a long time
Brick House Robusto Cigar: Strong, smooth and nutty
When I fancied a full flavoured cigar that would give 2 hours of pleasure, I grabbed the Brick House Robusto. Smooth, chocolatey and nutty it didn’t disappoint
Pegu Club Cocktail
Originating from colonial Burma in the 1920s, the Pegu Club cocktail is just the citrusy, refreshing shaken gin cocktail you’d expect from a hot, humid climate
Skull 77 El Nino Cigar: Small but mighty
Don’t let the stubby size of the Skull 77 El Nino cigar fool you. It uses the same blend as its big brothers the El Diablo and El Unico and packs the same punch
Alec Bradley Project 40 Robusto: Smooth, meditative and delicious
Whilst not full of complicated flavours, the Alec Bradley Project 40 Robusto is a smooth, creamy cigar that slows the world down letting you savour every moment
Bobbo’s Bride Cocktail
A variation on the Vesper Martini, Bobbo’s Bride is a cocktail that uses both vodka and gin. This is a beautiful balance of sweet, fruity, sour and strong.
