[nicwing]

The Havana House at Windsor are having an event on the evening of the 6th May. 7.00pm to 10.00pm

I thought I might take a run over there after I have voted and before I get set in for the Telethon!!

Anyone else in the area?

Bit of a trek and do we know what the "event" is?

Never tried the place.

OK, I have spoken to John Deegan the manager and booked in.
Its a small event (maximum 20 people) £15 a head which goes towards a cigar of your choice.
A representative from Dalmore Whisky will be there with samples of his wares.

I shall be driving over from Barnet so if anyone wants a lift from this area (and to drink my whisky) give me a ring.

The Rocky Patel Rep will also be there.

If the Dalmore Cigar Malt is on offer, and I hope it would be, it is an excellent accompliment with the likes of Partagas, Bolivar or Cohiba IMO.

What an excellent way to while away an election afternoon before bedding in for a night of swing-o-meter-ing...

Wish I could do likewise. Will have to settle for a cigar by the water (fingers crossed for good weather...)

[Big_T_UK]

Oh god, I want to meet the RP rep!!! DAMN DAMN DAMN

[Pantomimehorse]

ok Im booked, best get a ticket quick if you want to go T

[Big_T_UK]

Love to, love to meet the RP guy but the petrol on top of the ticket and having to leave work early to get there, won't happen. PLEASE do tell us all about it after though.

I've just bought my ticket.

Havana House is a lovely little shop, used to be jointly owned by AJ, & normally has some interesting specials (my bro got us a couple of RA Celestiales Finos to see in the New Year with - what a smoke!).

It's the nearest specialist stogie store to my home, although I don't shop there often, but then I don't shop often anywhere. It's in what used to be Windsor Station that later became Madame Tussaud's Royalty & Empire exhibition before becoming a shopping centre late in the 90's (? I think). The centre is covered by a Victorian glass roof, befitting a railway concourse which was great for cigar events in the "old days". Unfortunately the whole centre is now deemed to be "indoors" so we're going to have to smoke our samples rather cosily within the confines of the shop itself, although the demonstrations etc will be outside, so I understand.

BTW it's easily accessible from London via train - either from Waterloo or Richmond on the Reading line which arrives at Windsor & Eton station 5 minutes walk away, or from Paddington via the shuttle train from Slough that is the only service still using the old Windsor station.

great well thats three of us going now, I'm coming in from London via Waterloo myself and on the Wing Express home :rock:

fantastic night at Havana House, good to see Nicwing and EugeneSax again and also some other blokes that will I hope join the forum.

Havana House is a fantastic little shop with knowledgeable friendly staff, really glad I went along.

[Big_T_UK]

MORE INFO PLEASE! LOL

What was smoked, was the Rocky Patel rep there as mentioned? etc.

T.

[Pantomimehorse]

well I had a RYJ Limited from 2002 which I had never tried, the Rocky Rep was there yes, they had a fantastic range of RP and ITC cigars on display, the Dalmore whisky rep was the real highlight though, I learnt alot about whisky last night!

[Big_T_UK]

Tell me somebody took lots of pics??

[EugeneSax]

Very enjoyable herf with NW & PH. Enjoyed the Dalmore Gran Rerserva & 15 yr old (glad I trained it in the end), but I think they somewhat over-powered the Punch Serie D'Oro I smoked, although were a great match with my second cigar an ITC Super Fuerte.

[DeadBase]

I can't believe it! The night I sign up to the forum and there's something happening less than 5 minutes walk from my front door! I was even in HH yesterday to pick up a couple of smokes for last night and the wee chap didn't mention anything about it. A bit miffed as it would have been great fun. :(

I smoked an amazing Juan Lopez last night! Took most of the evening and was complimented by the Gran Reserve.

Another top evening in the company of like minded people :smoke:

[nicwing]

Really nice relaxed evening in Windsor ahead of a night dozing in front of the TV.

Smoked a really lovely complex lovely Trinidad Fundadores (gold band) and enjoyed the merest thimble of the really lovely whisky as I was driving.

Great to see you boys, can't believe how swiftly the three hours passed.
