Looks like you all had a great time, I'll certainly try to make next year.

Looks like i missed a good one, ah well at least i can console myself in the fact i spent the whole time i could have been with you lot smoking my head off stuck in the departure lounge at Stanstead airport while they tried to get the heated windscreen working on the plane,

Hi to both! Sorry I didn't get round to chatting with you...

Looks like the one pic I managed to appear on, I'm the chap at the back right having a condor moment.

I suppose I should reveal my identity too! I'm the only one actually smiling in this picture, at the front in the 'funky' shirt

It certainly looks like you guys had a great time (just a little bit envious here!!)

And well done to Keith for obviously being a fantastic host.

A cracking herf!

You couldn't wish for a more friendly and generous host - so a big thank you to Keith for everything on saturday

In the blind tasting I had the RyJ POW which, like most people, I thought was a pleasant enough smoke, but nothing amazing, and I scored it a 76. I also had the Oliva which, to be honest, I didn't get on with at all - semi-plugged, little smoke, and when it did start to open up and release a little smoke later on it was rather bland, and therefore I gave it a rather feeble 21!!

Followed these up with a VR Familiares, San Cristobal Muralla (very generously gifted by Keith again!), and finally a Party Short to end the night.

Nice to meet many new friends, and apologies to those who I didn't get to speak to much - next time!

Hi All

Apologies for the delay in responding. A big thank you to Keith for a fantastic afternoon/evening, and for your amazing generosity.

Had some great cigars and some great food - love the Indian Tapas.

Hopefully we will be able to get a baby sitter for the next outing so that we can fully relax and enjoy.

Great afternoon and evening dare i say morning as Kieth myself and Monkeynuts [Geoff] were the last to leave the venue , the staff were sweeping around our feet as we drank the last of our Rum cocktails [Dark & Stormy ] . Great pub and Kieth played a marvelous host . I didnt get to smoke my blind tasting cigars though did donate one to a fine old gentleman known as James who frequents the Prince He was a charachter i could see with a story to tell. I managed to drink plenty mainly the cask ale Timothy Taylor landlord Brew there was a good selection of Lagers Ales and Spirits. Throughout the evening i smoked a Party P2 ,R&J Duke , JL2 and a Cuaba Salomones. The only interuption to the evening was a well needed visit to the local Curry house the K2 with Kieth Monkey and Monkey nuts, great to meet evryone . Reccomend this venue to all .
Just to add the weekend was completed the following day with a trip to Wembley to see Man U kick city's arse.
