  • Cuban Cigar Walk London - Group Walk Saturday 18th April

    Hi Guys
    Just a very quick note to confirm details for Saturday.

    Those of you who have signed up for this event should, by now have received an email I sent you directly but just in case, here are the details for the record:


    The plan is to start at 10:00am at the Churchill Statue at the junction of Old Bond Street and New Bond Street. The nearest Tube station is Green Park which is marked on the map which I have emailled to you and which is also available on the web site at www.citiesinsound.com. I suggest you print off a copy of the map and bring it with you on the day. I will bring some copies of the walk with me on the day for those who forget.


    Timing: The intention is to make this a walk which you can do at your own pace so that you can enjoy the day. However some of the stores have offered to ‘entertain’ us so it would be nice if we could rendezvous at these times. I have also suggested a venue for lunch where it’s possible to get a good pint and a sandwich.

    10.00 - Churchill statue at the Junction of Old Bond Street and New Bond Street
    10.15 – Coffee and a small ‘heart starter’ at Dunhill, Bourdon House (on the walk)
    10.45 – Cuban Coffee at Sautters of Mount Street
    12.00 – A glass of champagne courtesy of Edward Sahakian of Davidoff, Jermyn street, (nb allow 30 minutes to walk from Sautters to Davidoff)
    12.45 – Suggested time to rendezvous at the Red Lion pub for lunch (it is possible to smoke in the alleyway outside the pub)
    2.00 – JJ Fox & Robert Lewis/ Cigar Museum St James’s Street
    3.00 – American Bar at the Stafford Hotel - Herf

    Almost everyone has now downloaded the walk or requested a pre-loaded Mp3 player. (Please note lunch and drinks at the Stafford are not included in the cost of the walk)

    Dress Code: There is no formal dress code for the walk however the Stafford has been kind enough to reserve tables for us to smoke a cigar after the event so I would ask that the minimum should be “smart casual” and no shorts please. Smoking hats welcomed and please don't let me find that one of you guys outbid me for the Victorian smoking hat on Ebay last week.

    Film: We will be making a short video of the walk on the day to publicise the Cuban Cigar Walk on some US Cigar channels. If for any reason you do not want to be included in this film please let me know before the day.

    If there are any questions please let me know, please also make a note of my mobile number for the day just in case you need additional directions etc.

    The Forum attendees will be Deano, Robusto the holidaymaker, Giulio, Stogie Dog, Cohiba IV, Pantomime Horse, CJ121, Peanut and for one week end only, all the way from way over there Mr TJ Coro. The 12 will be made up with a good mate of mine and a young lady who contacted me via the walk Facebook page (so best behavior gentlemen please).


    Look forward to meeting you on Saturday.

    For anyone reading this for the first time, the list is now closed (limited by numbers at the Stafford I am sorry to say) however please do contact me as I will be looking to run this walk regularly in the future if this is a success.

    PM me if there are any last minute questions.

        Dudes! I plan on traveling light, so I will likely wear the same pants that got me there - a very simple, but honest and clean pair of American blue jeans

        I hope this will pass as "smart casual" for purposes of the Stafford; otherwise, I will be forced to stand outside with my "cheeks" pressed against the window while you mates enjoy the sweet, warm comforts of the Stafford Hotel smoking Lounge.

        Are the reserved seats inside or outside, because I also did not plan to bring a blazer?

              Well TJ, I'm glad to hear your jeans will be clean coz if you're wearing the same pants for two days, well senor...no-one will wish to see your cheeks!

              I'm hoping some demur denim will do the trick too!

                "what goes on tour, stays on tour" as they say

                I'm sure there'll be someone techy enough to do the honours Stevie.

                      This is not my area of expertise, so I'll quote from the rather thin manual:

                      It has a built-in memory card reader that can read MMC/SD cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, Mobile phones, and PDAs

                      It also has three USB 2 ports.

                          I'm leaving in on a jet plane....

                          Amigos of the Walk,

                          I just downloaded the program and saved it in ITunes. I will export it to my Ipod tomorrow night. Nothing left to do but pack and catch a flight.

                          I'm still waiting for some suggestions on what to do during my 7 hour layover in Amsterdam.

                          Senor NicWing, still up for a brew & stogie Friday evening?

                          Names TJ, TJCoro, and I'm getting ready for a trip to London.

                            Update - Travel and that!

                            Hi all, just a quick update.

                            1. Travel
                            I have just checked the Transport for London web site and parts of the District, Jubilee, Hammersmith & City, Victoria and Waterloo & City lines are closd for engineering work this week end. Check at this site for exact details (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravel....aspx?offset=3) and make sure you allow enough time to get to Green park and the 5 minute walk to the start point for 10.00am start.

                            2. Breakfast
                            If by any chance you arrive early why not come and join TJ and myself for breakfast at Cecconi's http://www.cecconis.co.uk/restaurants.php?r=CEC#1***1 just two minutes walk from the start.

                            3. Car Nuts
                            I walked through Berkeley Square yesterday and spotted that, just for us, those nice people at Jack Barclay have put the Buggatti Veron back in the window. Bring your checkbooks!

                            4. Illustrated History of Post Revolution Cuban Cigars
                            I have seen a lot of traffic on the forum recently about this book and I have checked with both Dunhill and Davidoff and they both have copies available for sale (PM me for pricing details). Dunhill have a copy open for customers to view so you can look before you buy.

                            If anything else comes up please let me know, Anyone staying over in London on Friday night get in touch as TJ and I are out on the town and would hate to miss you.


                            Regards
