Christmas Gongs

THE GOOSE is loosening its belt another notch; we’ve already been subject to incessant festive muzak for weeks on end; and the annual cigar shindig in Canary Wharf has come and gone in whirl of whisky, awards, glamour and gladhanding. It must be Christmas.

Sautter Cigar Library – Handrolled Series

I RECKON the Newman family are quite possibly the nicest in the cigar industry. And trust me, there are some very nice people working in cigars. There’ll be a chapter on their incredible story in my next book; Around The World in 80 Cigars – There And Back Again, and I was lucky to spend time in remarkable Ybor City, Florida, where they are based, exploring with them the history of cigars that is the only reason the town exists in the first place.

LD on Nick’s Book

IN my opinion, there are cigar books and then there’s Around The World in 80 Cigars. I must have read it half a dozen times or more, but the stories within remaining as fresh as the day they were printed, and it never fails to make me chuckle. I reckon Sautter has sold more copies than any other store in the world, and it shows no signs of stopping. In my own words, it’s off the clock.

The next cab off the rank
