The Gift of Cigar Love

IF you’re looking for a little inspiration for your Winter break this year, allow us to offer a suggestion or three. We understand it can be difficult to see the wood for the trees when it comes to gifts, and for most of us, budget plays a big part in the final decisions.

Fill Your Stocking?

ONE doesn’t like to mention the fact too early, but it’s nearly that time again. Whatever your religious persuasion, there’s a good chance that you may take advantage of the majority of people gleefully whacking the Out of Office button and take some well-earned time off yourself at the end of the year.

An Affair to Remember

WE’VE spoken of cigar events before – but let’s do so again. We have recently regained the ability to revel – responsibly – in person once more, and we urge you to do so with us; safely, securely and in very, very good company.

In Pursuit of the Perfect Pairing

TORVILLE and Dean; Boycott and Edrich; fish and chips – cigars and ice cream? The alchemy of pairing your smokes with food and drink is yet another of the wonderfully layered aspects to our endless fascination with cigars.
