London Cigar Scene blog - Londonist

[nicwing]

I was recently asked to blog on the London Cigar Scene for a very popular and well regarded London Blog called the Londonist.

Just posted my first introductory piece. http://londonist.com/2010/05/the_burgeoning_london_cigar_scene.php

Nicely written--makes me want to travel over to London and take a smoke-filled tour.

Hey Pete, a post on stores/lounges every two weeks and little snippets, launch info and other stuff in between.
Next two already written.

Well written and veritably fascinating! I remain proud of our historical capital.

[Robusto]

Lovely!

Interesting article Nic. I'm looking forward to future observations.

I had considered doing something similar - a series of articles on London's cigar shops and places to smoke.

[Lads2000]

Very well done Nic. I read through it and found myself wanting more, which to me is a sign of a good blog. Please keep us posted for the next installment.

What's the coffee shop opposite Davidoff's called again. I'm going to speculatively call about an outside table for Tuesday afternoon.

Bingo! Found it - Franco's (unless I'm much mistaken). :849:

Nice little article Nic. Nice to see something being written which is pro smoking.

[HabanoSy]

Great article nic...

Keep up the good work... :top:

Cheers, HabanoSy

Nice little article Nic. Nice to see something being written which is pro smoking.

Couldn't agree more, Craig.

There used to be articles about choosing cigars, comparing cigars, how to store and light cigars etc etc in things like the colour supplements on Sundays. Casual readers could find out about cigar 'culture' that way.

Now, cigars are hardly ever mentioned, and I think they should be where good food and good drinks are written about.

So well done, Nic!

[nicwing]

One more, just in case any of you haven't been...

[patrickspark]

another enjoyable and informative article - thanks.

[peanutpete]

another good article nic almost made me want winter back to be all snug
out side under the heaters, almost but not quite:wink:

[HabanoSy]

Another great article nic...

Cheers, HabanoSy

[Lads2000]

Another interesting article nic. I had the pleasure of spending some time in 10 manc st a couple of weeks ago. Which was my first by the way. What a nice place to waist a few hours in although it wast my cheapest. I will really make the effort next time when there are a few others there as well next time as I think this is almost the perfect place to burn a few rolled up leaves.

After a short break here is my latest Londonist Cigar Scene blog item:

Another great informative write-up... :top:

Cheers, HabanoSy

[nicwing]

New blog post.

This is a great late evening spot: http://is.gd/ekgEw

[HabanoSy]

Now that looks like a great place to while away the hours with a fine cigar and a nice cognac... :41:

Cheers, HabanoSy
