IT'S been a hectic week one way or another at Cristo Towers, and I'm glad to see the weekend looming ahead for a short break from the madness.
I have spent much of the week revisiting favourite old cigar haunts and finding one or two new ones in London for a new luxury article I'm putting together. I'll give you a heads-up once it's published, of course.
In my travels, I came across some news that will please those of you who frequent the lovely Garden Room at The Lanesborough. You read it here first - as of Tuesday April 10, the Garden Room, which is one of London's finest spots for enjoying a fine cigar, will be open from 12pm daily instead of 4pm as it has been for some time.
This means that lunchtime guests will now be able to take full advantage of the facility - which includes a very well-crafted cigar menu, cocktails, Champagne, underfloor heating and more - for a post-prandial cigar.
Good news, as I've dropped past more than once in the hope of an afternoon cigar, forgetting that the room doesn't open until teatime. Happy days.
I smoked through a superb Montecristo Edmundo from '09 this week, a truly mouthwatering smoke, plus some Arturo Fuente cigars made in the Dominican Republic. I'm taste-testing these for a future article. Have also been enjoying some full-bodied Nicaraguan smokes from Joya de Nicaragua for the same feature. Cigar smokers have never had it so good!
Enjoy your weekend and long ashes to you all.
Happy Herfing.
