Tino

Can't think of a better excuse to start drinking at 1030!

It's been far too long since I've posted, but it was a pleasure to catch up with friends old and new!

Even with a meltdown I missed a box of LGC 4!

Another great London night, thanks to Mus and all the other gents!

Contact Di quick, compliment her shoes, Bad luck Europeans, you snooze, you lose. Wait for that email, you'll be shittin' bricks Post on the forum, but no US politics

Rob should keep this for when he's next in Italy!

They are still fairly widely available, but the price has crept up from the (already punchy) release price

I was scrolling backwards through the thread, saw the photos first and immediately thought, "They have to be Rye's". Great shots mate

British weather be dammed! Sat under the umbrella with a Hoyo Petit Rob and a glass of Malbec

My brother's mother in law gave him a home carbon monoxide detector for Christmas a few years back. It was past its use by date...

San Cristobal La Fuerza and a Guinness

Currently in Burgundy with work, I kicked one off the bucket list today. Cycled to Romanee-Conti and enjoyed a Trinidad Reyes overlooking the vineyard.

OK, bear with me... Lanceros, something of a dapper elder gent, remarries the alluring (but chubby) Robusto in 1989. Following a bit/lot of (soil) fertility treatment they have five children in 1994, Siglos I-V. Siglo VI only released in 2002 so perhaps the obese youngest son who eats too much Seco?

Saturday afternoon QdO Panatela

Congratulations Carts! Amazing hat trick for the win! I was happy to get one this year, well done everyone for participating and to our hosts for organising again this year

Work/life/inclement weather have been impeding smoking for the past few weeks. This Trinidad Robusto Extra is sorely needed!

Where has August gone? Away this weekend, going to be smoking this one on the deadline again...

Great work, guys!

Sheesh, way to resurrect an old thread Mus I've got a load of dry rub at home that came from South Africa, I'll bring you some in October so you can export it to West Africa!

In fairness to the Punch, at least you don't smoke their gold wrapper. Although someone probably has after a few beers too many...

Happy Friday

Siglo II BTO 12

Regional from 2010, the only one South Africa has had I believe. Going to be in Cape Town briefly in November going to have to try and track some down. It was a good smoke, quite resolved, very savoury.

Great night with some of the London boys and a few new guys at Chris' birthday

To paraphrase Bill Hicks, "That's a nasty cough, you're lucky you don't smoke. I smoke three cigars a day and I don't cough like that."
