R and J Short Churchills are my current cigar of choice. Introduced to them by Victor at Boisdale.

Anyone know if he has returned?

Want to buy a friend a small box of cigars for Christmas, not sure what he likes but he smokes a few. Any recommendations, thinking £40 -ish? Possible?

I love the idea of cigars more than the reality and I think secretly everyone does.
I have spent relatively large amounts of money on cases of Cuban cigars more than once and always made sure I had a couple on me for all occasions.
Having tried various brands of expensive cigars, after many years I have drawn the conclusion that all cigars actually taste st.
Expensive, cheap, whatever - it's just like inhaling a through an actual crap and leaves your mouth tasting like you've had dinner with bear grylls.
We all love a cigar and yet we all hate them. It is a pretentious manly ritual with no real point and yet we cannot get enough of it. And I do include myself in the "we".

Of course not. Meeting internet strangers to smoke cigars together in a 'club'.
Worst idea I have ever heard

I was just about to add this to the cringe thread and then I read your comments.

I'll let you do it.

Unfortunately this one is a bit too soon and a bit too Londony for me, being a dirty plastic northerner.

Enjoy chaps, and don't let the likes of BSR drag you down, I've never read such a widespread and universal curmudgeon.

That being so, I rather suspect that the collective potential attendees have just breathed a sigh of relief!

I see nothing bad about that aspiration.

Either way any more takers for this? The last cigar night was a very enjoyable night out and meeting some internet strangers was not as odd as I thought it might be......

If it was a Friday evening, I'd be all over it. Sadly by the time I've got up to London, I'd need to go back again.

The shame of living at the end of a branch line.

Just out of interest, is this venue classed as public or private?

Its Public, unless you book it out, then it becomes Private
