Hey guys, if you haven't managed to catch the roller Armando while he is in the UK, I was with Edward Sahakian at Davidoff on Friday and he tells me that he will be at the Davidoff store from Monday 24th to Friday and probably Saturday.

If you are going to travel some way it's probably worth checking on the Saturday as they weren't certain.

I'm certainly heading back to get one rolled to my own personal blend.

By the way, thought you might all enjoy a picture of one he rolled while he was at Sautter:

I'm looking forward to the launch! ERdMs and JLs... lovely!

Armando's tour has been extended to the middle of September and so he will be back at Davidoff from next Monday, 24th, for those who missed him there first time round.

Also, we have something coming up on September 10th to launch the first of the 2009 Regional Editions, more details to follow....

If I get the okay from the bank manager I might just beat you to it! Possibly look out for a new cigar store in Plymouth sometime in the autumn...

Then who knows where will be next on the hit list!

[Simon-JG-hr]

Sorry, not going to be able to make it today.

Enjoy, I'm looking forward to the pics.

[HabanoSy]

Right Im heading off to the Casa in Teddington now, gonna spent a few hours there and them im goin to head on over to Havana House in Windsor to catch Armando the roller. (to get myself something rolled!?!).

Camera at the ready so I can post up some pics later...

Hopefully catch a few of you guys down there, maybe...!?!

Cheers, HabanoSy

[HabanoSy]

Thats great...

Like I said Im going to be heading there for around 2ish so hopefully see you then.

Now, anybody else...?

Cheers, HabanoSy

[jpmoore]

I'm working but I can meet you in havana house around 2pm for the rolling

[HabanoSy]

I get paid on Saturday (or Friday or Monday ) and I'm not working on Wednesday. If the pay is decent enough then I'd be up for the second half of that. It's been a couple of months since I've been out towards the capital and I still haven't herfed properly with a fellow cigar fan.

Fingers crossed for a target bonus...

That'd be great mate.

Keep me posted!?! Anybody else...?

Cheers, HabanoSy
