Cuban Cigar Walk London video on YouTube

[Simon-JG-hr]

Got around to watching the video just now. Very interesting stuff; I added my rating on YouTube too, if that helps!

Not sure about all this walking and smoking though - I seem incapable of co-ordinating the use of a cigar when my legs are moving...

PS. Nice music Robusto.

Its on Wardour Street. Just a short walk.

Wardour runs south to north from Shaftesbury Avenue to Oxford street, and the casa is not far north of the junction at the west end of Old Compton Street.

The Casa is on the right next to the Floridita restaurant.

Sorted!
Cheers.

Also happened into Sautter where they had the latest must have accessory. (?45 for a wood handle and ?39 for plastic)

Very nice nic, gotta get me one of those for the rainy days on the golf course (although it never rains at the course I play - at least thats what I tell the wife... Of course I'll come home if it rains dear!!!).

A wooden handled one me thinks...

Cheers, HabanoSy

Where is la Casa del Habana in relation to this walk, Drew?
Is it a walk or a tube ride away?
I don't know where la Casa is in London.

I finally did the walk today!

Great stuff.... along with some herfing gluttony. I finished the day at the Casa del Habano (I know, I know... not on the walk, but I vaguely know a handful of the regulars) with a Bolivar Gold Medal and a Punch Punch.... perfect!

The only thing on the walk that threw me a little (and this is in no way a reflection on the walk itself) was how bad the general condition of the cigars in the Humidor at Dunhills was. Its never been a shop I've used as its a tiny bit off my usual jaunt, but I actually left without purchasing anything as I picked up more cigars with cracked (and I mean really cracked) wrappers than good.

Thanks to Nic for pointing us all in the direction of his great website.

Just watched it myself, great execution Nic.
The Churchill basement looks very interesting, I bet that Red Lion pub has a few stories to tell.

Doing some work in London today I popped into Davidoff to find the roller at work. His name is Armando and he was really charming, good english. He has rolled for Cohiba and some other factories. He told me about putting together a cigar for an Englishman that was stronger than a Partagas.

Also happened into Sautter where they had the latest must have accessory. (?45 for a wood handle and ?39 for plastic)

Great video

Hi everyone, I watched the video today, and can say it is a marvellous job. Very informative, and the clarity of the audio and visual is great. It brings back some lovely memories of my trips to London, and seeing Fox and Davidoff in the film was really great. I can't wait to get back down to the Smoke for a stogie!

I was chatting on Facebook with a guy from South America today and he posted this lovely comment :

I"m love with tobacco. My grandfather was torcedor in Hoyo de Monterrey in 1895 and up to day we have the ancient cigar manufacturer hand made in Argentina. You can see some history in www.cigarrosmanrique.com.ar. Coming soon the photos of my conference in Cuba.

Thought I would share this with you boys and girls.
