[nicwing]

Hi guys, I am delighted to say that I have now closed the list on the Herf.

I've got a meeting with one of the stores tomorrow and hope to be able to announce an additional little feature of the walk by tomorrow night.

So here they are, the runners and riders for the 18th:

Attendees:
Robusto - Confirmed/Downloaded
Stogie Dog - Confirmed/Downloaded
Giulio - Confirmed/Downloaded
Andy L - Confirmed/Preload
NicW - Present sir!
Sarah BM Confirmed/Downloaded
Cohiba IV - Confirmed/Preload
Pantomime Horse - Confirmed/ Downloading
Deano - Confirmed/Downloading
TJ Coro - Confirmed/?
CJ121 - Confirmed/?
Peanut - Confirmed/?

I would just ask if TJ, CJ121 and Peanut could confirm whether they are going to download or if they need pre-loaded players, just because I may need to order some more players in.

Watch this space for updates.

Bring your sister!

It seems from TJs comments that he has floor sapce for kipping on. Robusto that planned return journey back to Kent saturday may have to be cancelled until sunday morning!!!! It would seem unsporting not too mention bad manners not to entertain Senor TJ after he has made the effort to fly into London especially for the herf. I am thinking a prolonged evening of entertainment at a a good ol english pub or any other location people would like to visit!!!!!

Might see about accommodation if TJs floor is unavailable!! What do you think Robusto, want to PM me mate? There will need to be some consultation with the long haired general but from my point of view its a possible.

You are awsome, senor Stogiedog.

Do you or Mr. R have a sister???


Names TJ, TJCoro, and I'm bad news, I tells ya'

Go Home Hombre!

Lo Siento Amigos for the problems with this thread. I fould a web page which defined Kip, so I implanted a link.

I guess I fucked up. TJ's bad.

[Stogiedog]

TJ well done mate, so looking forward to meeting you my friend. We will have a few bevvies. See you soon.

[Mr Moore]

TJ, kip is a term used for men who like to group hug !

[TJCoro]

40 Winks and a Smile

How about just 40 winks

More English-English, senor Ramon?

Names TJ, TJCore, and I'm a little afraid

[Ramon]

If my hotel is close by - Nicwing thinks it's within a 20 minute walk - all are welcome to come by for a "Kip" or two.

[TJCoro]

K-i-p-p-i-n-g in the UK!

That's superb news, TJ!
Can we all kip at your pad afterwards lol.
Will be great to meet you.

Right! If "kip" means enjoying fine puros, drinks, and good conversation - ABSOLUTELY! I requested a smoking room.

If "kip" means getting a horde of hookers and partying all night long, lead the way, mate.

But if "kip" is English-English for something else, well, I'll have to think about it.

If my hotel is close by - Nicwing thinks it's within a 20 minute walk - all are welcome to come by for a "Kip" or two.

Names TJ, TJCoro, and a puro walk in London with you best UKCF mates - PRICELESS!!!
!

[Boss Hog]

Love to be there with you all, sounds like a great day. Booked out on project work that whole weekend. No getting out of it.

[Robusto]

That's superb news, TJ!

[TJCoro]

Milies of Smiles!

Nice work with the small faces, senor GSS

Me so happy!!!

Names TJ, TJCoro, and I love a good smiley or two

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



Cost: The cost of the walk is ?10 if you download the walk from the web site or ?28 if you would like me to provide you with the walk pre-loaded onto an MP3 player. (Please note lunch and drinks at the Stafford are not included in the cost of the walk)


In order to confirm numbers I would ask you to either complete the download or post me a cheque no later that Friday 3^rd of April.

There is a waiting list for this event and numbers are limited by the capacity at the Stafford Hotel.



Map:a map of the route can be downloaded from www.citiesinsound.com. But I will bring some copies of the walk with me on the day for those who forget.



Dress Code: As previously discussed on the forum 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.



Film: With the kind help of Robusto and his son 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.

Posted this update so that you don't have to hunt back through the thread.

Hot off the Press TJ is in!!!!!!!!

[nicwing]

If there's any room at the inn chaps, I'm not going to France now. Last minute Larry, I know, but "...half a loaf..."

No dramas if not

Hey CJ, this is great, there are spaces so you're in, just download the walk, if you look back on this thread the details of the walk are there but I will post updated details at the end of the week.

Great stuff
