Nice UKCF crowd there then. I hope H&F are watching Steve!Comment

cool I will buy a ticket on MondayComment

Indeed we are Deano!
Tickets are going quickly for this as space is limited so if anyone else wants to come I'd advise getting your ticket sooner rather than later..

Tonight, tonight...Hope everyone is looking forward to the evening. Berta Corzo from the El Laguito factory, the home of Cohiba, will be there this evening after landing in the UK this morning.Comment

Coffee and picking up extra smokes in Dunhill now, see everybody there later. James is smoking the Hindenburg tonight (Cuaba Diamdemas) and I am doing the sublime off!

Heading up to Teddington first to catch up with Ajay, have a couple of smokes and purchase my H.Upmann card. Then it's on up to Chelsea Harbour...
See all you guys later...

Report back at the earliest possible opportunity guys! With photos if at all possible.
I really, really wish that I could have gone to this. I seriously considered it, but with a 3hr journey I decided it could only be one trip this month, and I went for the herf.Comment

Looks like a cracking event, the venue's interesting too....

Oh god, so hammered! Left the venue with friends who wanted to take advantage of my Boisdale membership, cheeky sods. Gin and tonics, red wine, whisky, champers, multiples of each! So many people to say hi and be polite too. Partages Charlotte, Por Laranagne RE, Monty Sublime, god help me.
Oh yes, Deano was grumpy, Nicwing was networking, Jimmeh was smoking the Hindenburg. I was trying to rebuild the empire.
Full report and maybe an incriminating picture when I can stand upright!

What a great night, great view but a little out of the way to just pop in for a cigar and I didn't establish whether it's open to no residents or not so watch this space.
Anyway I just thought Deano was Deano, I wondered where Big T ran off too, now I understand!
Arrived in plenty of time for the 6.30 start having sat with Deano while he smoked up a storm at the Blue Bird Cafe on Kings Road.
We were greeted like long lost friends and given a class of champagne and an El Rey del Mundo Choix de L'Epoque 4 3/82 by 52 ring guage, it says here. They gave us some nice notes on each of the cigars and the back ground of the brands, we drew lots and I am delighted to say that Big T won and will be transcribing the 6 pages of script for you all to read so that you can share the delights of the cigars if not the wonderful smell on the terrace.
As we all worked on our ERDM's we were invited to head in for some speachifying resulting in the fire alams going off all over the building as smoke drifted in from the two terraces.
The second cigar of the evening the Juan Lopez Selecccion Suprema 6 5/8 by 52 ring guage (size name Torre Iznaga it, says here) was accompanied by an excellent malt whisky.
Lots of faces around including Ajay, Edward and young Eddie from Davidoff, Magali from JJ Fox and many many more.
As you will see from the attached picture, the forum crew were The UK Cigar Forum Pocket Billiards team (from left to right: Mr Happy, Mr Happy and Mr Happy, no wait, that should be from right to left)

I left with Trevor - we went with some people to the Boisdale. They ate - but we didnt have time, due to public transport - so we just stayed and had a few drinks for a while - then left at the latest possible minute. I think Trevor was mingling/networking/rebuilding the empire when you left Nic, which is why you probably couldnt find him.Comment

Yeh was about to PM Trev to say sorry I didn't say bye, but couldn't find you at all mate.
Glad I kept my usual level of grumpiness up!
