I'm Kev, 31, and been smoking cigars for 12-13 years. Started with wintermans and hamlets etc in my youth but got into serious cigars when I was 18 or so. I'm partial to maduro cigars in particular but I'm always looking for something new to try, usually with a nice single malt scotch or a Japanese whiskey.

I love the whole ritual around cigar smoking, showing respect for the hard work of the Torcedores before enjoying the result, plus it looks good when I pull out my xikar and vintage dunhill lighter. ]]> Newbie Greets Control_67 http://www.ukcigarforums.com/showthread.php?11615-Hello-from-Sussex <![CDATA[God's Game]]> http://www.ukcigarforums.com/showthread.php?11614-God-s-Game&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 15:12:36 GMT This week's blog here chaps.

I'm not biased because I live here, actually I only work here and live over the border in France. The fact is when you are concerned with cigars you are spoilt for choice here. And the flights to Geneva are quite cheap from the UK (Although it is expensive to stay here :().
Within 5 mins walk of the main shopping road, Rue de Marche, you can visit a number of cigar shops. The one to see should be the Davidoff Store on Rue de Rive, but don't buy anything there unless you're a fan of the Davidoff range. The place to part with your hard earned cash is GestoCigars, on the 5th floor of an apartment building on Rue de Marche (They have a website with prices, you can change the currency in the bottom right hand corner). In fact it is, more or less, a converted apartment. It has two large walk-in humidors filled to the brim with lovely cigars! You can buy singles, 3 and 5 packs and all the boxes you could ever want. Their prices rival those of The Cigar Store in Andorra (a tax free country), and are often cheaper. Joann, the main sales person, speaks perfect english and is a lovely lady.
One of the other options is Tabac Rhein on Rue de Mont-Blanc, although I find this place a little too 'posh' for my liking and their prices are similar to the Davidoff store.
If anybody decides to come out this way give me a shout and I'd be more than happy to meet up for a Herf. While I'm not from the UK (I'm from New Zealand) I don't get to see many native english speakers and I certainly don't have anyone to smoke glorious Cubans with!
Happy Herfing!! :41:

Not possessing any patience whatsoever, and having received my Stick a Stick bomb, i had to try out the Toscano last night, cut in half and lit up, cracking short smoke, now i know why peeps rave about them.

This morning was at a loose end and curiosity again got the better of me and being a fan of small sticks i went for the Camacho Corojo Machito 4 x 32, possibly the best NC i have tried, i had to google to check out the origin, to me it was very Partagas like.
