Drguano Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 The cigar world has lost a true gentleman and someone who has forgotten more about cigars than most of us will ever know. A truly nice man... https://www.cigarjournal.com/simon-chase-passes-away-aged-74/ 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainQuintero Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Very sad news, when I saw the topic title I hoped it was something else. The cigar industry and world as a whole is poorer for it. It seems very out of the blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonk Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Very sad news. I recently saw a video from a H&F visit regarding the upcoming Reina, and to me he already seemed to be quite fragile, so I was afraid of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cigcars Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Wow, I'm so sorry to learn of this...I always looked forward to his words and coverage of treasured Havana smokes of yesteryear and aged specialties. He will be sorely missed, and thank you for notifying us of this news. Real sorrow to our hearts as Havanaphiles always hanging onto the latest words from Mr. Chase in his coverage of our beloved tobacco treasures...Rest well, Simon. You are missed and you are loved.

Philski Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 V. sad to hear. He once served me in the Dunhill cigar room on Jermyn Street, where he was helping out/moonlighting, just a perfect gentleman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 An acquaintance in the Cigar Industry had told me of Simon's illness in December last year. Sad news to hear of his passing. What a gentleman and what a loss to our Habanos worldwide community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So sad. Regardless of his obvious knowledge and wisdom in this passion of ours, the self deprecating way he carried that knowledge like it was some sort of happy accident speaks to what a lovely humble man he must of been. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, and know I'm much the poorer for it. Rest in Peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChanceSchmerr Posted March 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2019 How very sad. I had the privilege to meet him a few times during my sojourn in London, and to speak with Simon at length at an Ajay's Summer Party. During our conversation, I was pleased to offer him an RA Super Ramon RE Canada as he had not tried one before, and he responded with wonderful story on the history of the Rodolfo vitola and the man behind it. Truly, a massive loss to our community and to Friends of Habanos everywhere. RIP Simon, you are very much missed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chompers79 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Only came across him in an interview with Nic Wing I watched last week. Seemed like a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
