Indeed, I'll be there before 11:00, as long as there aren't any delays in the Chunnel.

Christmas Offer to Herf attendees only!
The missus is giving me grief for the cost of my attendance so I have decided to mollify her by raising the costs from selling some of my oldest cigars. I have a box of 1970 Monte No4's & am willing to sell one each to the first 6 to contact me via pm, to smoke on the day. I am sure this would be a lovely 1st stick, very suitable for those coming to JJ's, I smoked one at the Hotel Nacional & it was delightful; for the price of a fresh Monte Open Eagle from JJ's. for a 40yo stick I think that's pretty fair & would certainly get us in the festive spirit!CigarCollection.2017.04.21.IMG_3864.1.jpgMonte.No4.2018.12..03.DSC_0882.1.jpg

Or perhaps afterwards, is not the use of the lounge for smoking cigars purchased in store only Simon? I'm sure that CCTV is there for a purpose

I always smoke my own cigars in cigar lounges & never had a problem. Usually they make money from the drinks & or food (like Boisdales) but if JJ's is only providing water (you mentioned taking your own coffee in without a problem), I guess we'll be obliged to buy something so I'll buy a Monte No5 & smoke my 1970's No4, I am sure they won't worry & second I am sure that their CCTV isn't there for that purpose but I'll check with Robert Fox.

That's the issue Simon, its not a cigar lounge its a sampling room. That's how they get round the law.

[ha_banos]

We have no cigar lounges in the UK. Only sampling areas as far as I understand. So I expect by law one is only allowed to smoke something purchased. The business must also have a considerable business interest in premium tobacco to allow this.

The moment you as a customer cease to sample, is the moment they, the tobacconist, are breaking the law it would seem.

For those interested in reading the Gov legislation

Simon

I have smoked many cigars at the Stafford, although mainly in the summer, but I can confirm they have heaters under the awning which is also the entrance to the bar...
