Premium Cigars are pure tobacco, when you light your cigar you are committing to an hour or more of relaxation or good conversations with good people, and the craftsmanship of cigars is beautiful... what better way to appreciate the long hours put into constructing the perfect stick then lighting and enjoying it.

The reason why an employee follows you around is to be there to help you at any moment and not because they are afraid you will shoplift. This is standard practice at all retail shops that offer premium service. In a normal store you will have to find someone to ask for help, in a shop that cares about customer service the employee will ask you if you need help and if you say no he will continue doing something else and in the best of shops an employee will always make sure to be there to help you with any questions or help you might require. Great customer service might feel weird only to people that have never experienced it and it is definitely true for brits and Americans that have some of the worst customer service around. I always find it interesting that people that have never had good customer service might feel its too intrusive. Being around hotels in Cyprus frequented by some of the worlds richest men, i ve learned that there is not a single moment where a rich person isnt followed by a staff member ready to help them with anything they might need. If that would happen to a person that is not used to such treatment, he would assume that the person following them might have some nefarious things in mind but for the rich people that are used to this, they know that this is just good customer service. In Greece at some of the best clubs each vip table has its own server that serves 1 table the entire night. That person is there to call you a cab when the night is over or go to the shop to get cigarettes for you if needed , and he is there pouring drinks for you the whole night.

I smoked a fantastic Ramon Allones Superiores and drunk a very nice Iced Americano and it was the most relaxed experience. The definition of a lazy Sunday. That's not pretentious, thats relaxing. Im sure some people would have preferred to be at a pub, drinking shitty beer and smoking cigarettes and that to me sounds terrible.

Edward is a great Gentleman of the old school. The great host. I used to go visit him at least once a week back in the mid 1980’s. Used to go across the street and have an espresso with my Havana Montecristo next to Edward’s superb vintage Mercedes convertible where he used to park. Decades later I would return to him with my son and he actually remembered me. Used to smoke the Havana Davidoff’s back in the day when they still made them. Brilliant shop, Brilliant Gentleman.

Oh the unending joys of Jermyn Street! A haircut, a new shirt and tie, some pipe tobacco and finally a look around Davidoff on the corner. I wasn't averse to a tin of the latest blend of pipe tobacco from Dunhill as I had yet to graduate to cigar chicanery. My last visit to this wonderful emporium was ~ forgive me ~ in a desperate search for my favourite cigarettes which had just stopped being imported from Denmark. Of course Davidoff obliged but I was told that I had just been sold the last packet of Prince in the country. One more memory evoked by your latest production: There is no better cigar to smoke than one from here on one's boat on the Thames on a balmy summer eve, given by one's barrister neighbour on the occasion of the birth of his first daughter!

I am a huge fan of A.J. Fernandez blends. My supplier of Cuban cigars was devastated by the supply issues of the past 3-4 years. Importing Cubans has become too expensive and too complicated, especially since Dominican and Nicaraguan cigars are the equal of Cubans in flavor and far superior in quality of workmanship. However, as was said, the most important, maybe only important, factor is to smoke that which gives you pleasure.
