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 Christmas Hours
Because we know you might need that perfect cigar for a last-minute celebration, here are our festive opening hours.
Spotted: Sautter Cigars in “Meet The Neighbours” Series
We’re excited to share that Sautter of Mount Street is proudly featured in the latest Mount Street Neighbourhood campaign, “Meet The Neighbours,” as part of the Mount Street Neighbourhood Arts Festival running from 7th to 12th October.

SO – the new Labour Government’s most pressing concern is stopping a chap having a smoke with their pint in the pub garden? Interesting.

Santa Baby
I’VE done it. I’ve put on a Christmas song. A rousing live version Come Home For Christmas by Bon Jovi – from the Very Special Christmas Live album – is the first drop of Christmas cheer I’ve allowed to seep into my consciousness this year.
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.
Boom, Boom, Shake The Room
DESPITE the current crisis – and it’s only fair to call it a crisis, despite what those with a vested interest may tell you – in the Cuban cigar world, the rest of the cigarmaking planet continues to make hay while the sun shines. And boy has the sun shone in recent days.
