"The Golden Goblet" conjours up all sorts!
Why not "The Golden Shower"?
Or "The Frantic Felch"?
Shit. I'd be party to any old digitally enhanced aerobics to get to smoke a cigar in a public place these days!
Any time, mate. Just think on and propose, and maybe we could get a herf off the ground with folk on here in your honour...Leave a comment:

Thank you. I will take you up on that. I was planning to take a trip this summer, but things have changed a bit around here financially. I might have to put it off until the following summer or maybe next Christmas since it looks like I might have three weeks off next year for the holidays. That would be a perfect time to see what the cigar sanctuary is all about, no?Originally posted by Robusto View Post
You'll have to make sure it's warm outside when you come out this way though since the "Golden Goblet" is the only warm place we can smoke in the winter. You shouldn't be subjected to such an awful American hole-in-the-wall.

You are welcome here, Joe. When you come to the UK, factor in some time here, mate.Leave a comment:

If I owned a yard I would definitely follow your lead and build something that nice to smoke in. You are a lucky man my friend.

I'm sure Scottish Cuban thinks it's a balsa wood dolls' house compared to a butch log cabin.
(I'm thinking of how musicians carp and bitch about amps here).
It suits me just swell so I don't give a flying fuck, Coolio.

Gentlemen.
If any of you are down my way, you are most welcome to drop by for a Havana and a cuppa.
Friends drop by when they take the ferry across to France. I am about 20 minutes from Dover Port.
We could sit like big hairy gay bears and chat.
The offer is open to travellers from the forum. Just give me some warning so I can dust the surfaces and fetch the patchouli.Leave a comment:

Smoke cabins!
They're cool!
I've got one of my own already...
But I'll take another!
Anyway...
Having it built...
And - my wife isn't reading this - putting it to its prime use...
Enjoying an Alec Baldwin Robusto and a Montecristo Edmundo down there.
The brilliant thing is that it never smells of dead cigar in the cabin the next day. It always smells of beautiful wood... so I get no moans.
I think every cigar smoker deserves a Havana Hideaway!
I can enjoy a Cuban smoke, write words, write tunes in absolute peace at the bottom of my garden. I like to catch up with Radio 4 over a good cigar and a strong mug of tea. I head down there after a stressful day before anyone else gets home and can enjoy a restorative solo herf. Bloody marvellous, it is! It's chillier in Winter, of course, but still swell. And it replaces the pub round the corner where the likes of us are now fucking banned.
One of the best things I've ever done to my house. No doubt about that, and worth every penny.
Apart from being a smoke house, it is used as an art/painting studio by my wife and art student son, and my younger son uses it for DJ work. Mixing. Decks, and so on.
It's all good, and I have a small separate hidden garden with table and chairs down there to smoke outdoors when the English climate allows it. In Summer, the neighbours will call over the garden wall and comment on the beautiful cigar aroma if they are outside. I love that! Better than living next door to smoke fascists, anyway!
SC - I'm sure you'll have customers amongst devoted stogie men! I would personally love a log cabin as a Havana Room!Leave a comment:

Do you know what, i`ve been working and doing a few things and have to say the more i think about it the better it sounds. Put it past a few mates as a daft idea but we all came up with the same answer, daft as it may sound it could be a line i start! personlised log homes/challets all the way up to a proper sized log building to use as a decent sized smoking house. I`m going to look into it for now, thanks Bryan! dont worry your cut will be in the post if it comes off!!!!Leave a comment:

It's literally just come back to me that yesterday late afternoon, on my drive home from work, I overtook at least three large open-topped vans absolutely laden with badly-installed long planks. They seemed so dangerous I had to get by as soon as I could on the only bits of dual carriageway on our poxy single-track A roads around here.
I've just realised why that was!Leave a comment:

Know what? It's a metallic brotherhood of sorts! (I'm so glad I'm not alone!). In fact, here I am at my private office desk at work and I have SNUCK IN a Petit Coronation tube which is in my drawer ready for all the sniffings in the world! It is nestled neatly in an establishment which is so anti-smoking that the toilets speak out a name-and-shame to any kid who tries to light up a crafty fag! I'm bearing in mind what Drew suggested - probably correctly - in a recent thread that all tobacco and smoking stuff might be outlawed within 20 years. This beautifully pungent tube is surely tamer than the absinthe hidden in my stock cupboard lol...
I will take that work-tube out and savour it in bleak times!
Meanwhile it's Pay Day. My missus is off with her girlfriends for a meal at the Fisherman's Wharf tonight. I'll walk round the corner to pick up a King Prawn Jalfreezi. Then - I'm sure my sinuses are finally clear enouigh now - I shall have the house to myself, a nuts-jangling 5.1 horror like Cloverfield, or war epic... and a Partagas D4...
FINALLY, I think I can play Havanaman again!!!
Something quite absurd has happened in the town I teach in, and I would put money on having massively reduced classes today! Thank You, Lord!
"from disposable nappies to motorbikes" lol!
I'VE GOT WOOD...Leave a comment:
