Vive Les Cigares!

I’M in my post-holiday blues funk at the moment, so I thought – if you’d be good enough to indulge me – that I’d take the opportunity to bore you with a little something personal for this week’s blog.

Food For Thought

SOMETHING that is not often touched upon when it comes to cigars – but is a seriously intense way to explore them – is by pairing them with foods.

Cigars and Drinks Pt II

ANOTHER chance to talk about cigar pairings – and let’s stick to drinks for the time being. Cigars and beer is a cracking combination. Whether your preference is for a cold Pilsner on a hot day, a chewable pint of Irish stout or a hoppy burst from a strong Suffolk ale, a smorgasbörd awaits you.

Your Cigar Fantasy

INNOVATION doesn’t always necessarily end up in a good thing, but it is an essential driving force of human nature. As the saying goes, if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got, so in the never-ending quest to better ourselves, generation by generation, we must always look to innovate.

Cigar Travel

ANOTHER of the great gifts that cigars give us is the possibility of combining our passion with a spot of travel. Many of you who regularly read this column live overseas, so allow us a moment to explain to you what an English winter looks like.
