Which cigar shop in Barcelona do you recommend?

Gimeno, on Las Ramblas. All prices are government set in Spain, so they are the same everywhere, but Gimeno has excellent stock and they seem well kept.

As is my tradition I’ve purchased a cigar to smoke after baby number four is born in the next couple of weeks (days, hours).

Living in SE Asia means humidity which cigars apparently like so I was told it ok to just leave it in its tube until I’m ready, or more accurately baby is ready.

Can't really go wrong with a Cohiba!

Tonight, for the first time in a long while, I am having a double corona, in this case by Ramon Allones.

Very good so far, settling in for a long smoke.

You can smoke inside??

Can I come over?...getting a bit chilly on the patio. I'll bring some more wine.

Have you finished it yet?

Yeah, I smoke in my lounge in complete comfort, going outside doesn't appeal at all. Brr.

More wine sounds good...

Eventually, and still wanted more, it was amazing.

Good to know. I’ve got a couple ready to take on holiday next week.

Another double corona tonight, this time a Robaina Don Alejandro.

One of my personal faves. Haven’t had one in too long. It’s getting me in the mood to open the humidor and grab a Magnum 50. Still an awesome go to smoke.

This is new to me, I found I enjoyed a cigar this year (I never thought I would tbh) whilst fishing in Scotland. A friend was smoking Monti no.2 and said I should have one, if nothing more than to try a keep the pesky midges away!. I agreed somewhat reluctantly as its something that has never interested me and I thoughts its a waste as I wouldn't appreciate it but actually enjoyed it.

Taking an hour to myself and having nothing else to focus on other than a cigar and a drink is a luxury, hectic lives means times to relax are not too common and perhaps that's one of the big pulls. Anyway a few sticks purchased the weekend past to sample some different flavors.

This one has been smoked and for my newbie taste I really enjoyed it.



These are to try over the coming weeks



And a new lighter as a treat :-)

You have some very good cigars lined up to try there. I love the R&J Wide Churchills and also I am a big fan of Bolivar, Partagas and Cohiba. Hoyo are lovely, aromatic cigars, but a little too light for my taste these days. I don't recognise the other one.

The lighter looks good, I have just started using a Collibrio V cutter and it is a lovely bit of kit, and I can't believe it has taken me until now to discover the v cut...

The Hoyo was nice but not my favourite so far, the other one is a Cavalier white series, I believe a Geneva company ( if my pigeon french understood correctly lol) really enjoyed it. I would say light to medium but I could be completely wrong! but a very smooth smoke and will for sure be a regular for me.

Thanks for the heads up on a V cut, I will pick one up next time.

I am in London on the 7th of November for business and thought I would pop into JJ Fox to use the lounge.

Thanks for that I will pick a few up as enjoyed the 54.

Try a punch cut too. I think all smokers should have the three cutters for variety

Is there a a sort of guide to which cut suits a particular size or is it just preference?
