Great idea. If some jazz could be added, bliss would be complete.

Re: Cigars and Wine
Just been surfing to find somewhere in London with live jazz and something approaching a private dining area, with potential to allow corkage and thus port to be consumed. Have drawn a blank.
Re: Cigars and Wine
I could be persuaded to join you for Port, cigars and all that jazz.

Re: Cigars and Wine
I always seem to be rather drunk by the time I start smoking cigars and I remain unconvinced about the advisability of port and cigars. Brandy seems more like it to me at such times. But the idea of smoking inside is a terrific draw. It feels naughty.
Re: Cigars and Wine
There would be nothing wrong with going to J. J. Fox's to drink some nice Vintage Port, a Taylor 1985 perhaps, and then having a cigar with a fine brandy, and all that jazz.LGTrotter wrote:I always seem to be rather drunk by the time I start smoking cigars and I remain unconvinced about the advisability of port and cigars.

Re: Cigars and Wine
They are open until 9:30 on Thursdays, so perhaps a Thursday. If we invite the chief Cigaromelier to join us later might be possible? Or we could just leave at 9:30 and go for beer, and all that jazz?

Re: Cigars and Wine
Port & cigars are not an ideal match IMO. Cigars work better with Madeira or Champagne.

Agreed. The two would not be enjoyed side by side.

Re: Cigars and Wine
Cigars and whisky work well. Cigars and beer, a 4%ish bitter, work even better.
I have cigars. Please may I join the event?
