The HVC Edición Especial 2018 corona is a Nicaraguan puro cigar. The Corojo 99 wrapper looked like a beautiful coating of chocolate enticing me to light up.

The first time I had a Negroni cocktail I hated it. When I realised that not all gins were the same, I started with some guidance, playing with proportions.
The Epic San Andres Project E is a medium bodied cigar. From beginning to end a rich smoothness was a constant companion to the changing flavours in this cigar.
Continuing with my film-book cocktail tie-in series, this is the Diabolique cocktail. A devilishly tasty little vodka cocktail suitable for any spooky party.
Villa Zamorano have given me a mixed bag of cigars ranging from amazing to rather lacklustre. The Villa Zamorano Churchill is a lot of cigar for a budget price.
A Leap Year cocktail is a twist on the classic dry martini. It seemed appropriate for 2020 as not only is it a leap year, I wouldn’t mind leaping to the new one

With autumn in to full swing, what is more warming than a sloe gin cocktail? I find that this gin liqueur a bit too syrupy on its own but perfect in a cocktail.
Hiram & Solomon serve up a beautifully constructed cigar full of delicious flavours in their Master Mason. Fun ensued when I shared this cigar with a friend.
