6 Days Until Turkey day!

Thanksgiving will be the 1^st official day of the up coming holidays when we “officially” (well most of us…) go off our diets and “officially” over do it! In Food, drinks, cider, mead made of apples (very renascence), stout beers, rum concoctions… starting with the spiced rum! The best recipe is from Emeril! I love Eggnog! Who doesn’t! People stuff the bird ever which way, from the traditional stuffing to chestnuts, truffles, caviar and so on… And please don’t mention the pies… Apple, pumpkin, mincemeat, strawberry, peach, banana, if there is a fruit there is a pie for it.

Not to mention the smokes…. On the pipe side all the nutty and fruity aromas are a great welcome with the cold weather. Chocolate, caramel, sugar and spices from all over the world.

Villiger / Stokkebye came out with a line of great tobaccos to compete with some of the tobaccos of Dunhill line. It’s called the 1888 line, and we already have it in store.

1888 Early Day would correspond to the Dunhill Early Morning

1888 After Dinner would correspond to the Dunhill Night Cap

1888 Late Night would correspond to the Dunhill My Mixture 965

Then there is the 1888 Mid Day and the, which has been a smash hit! Everywhere I look on the net, people just raves about this blend! We have it!!! Lol

And last but not least the 1888 Cocktail Hour, which is a very mild blend. Perfect for the occasional puffer or for the beginner.

Macbaren has the 7 Seas line: Regular, Royal, Black and Gold. All aromatics

On the cigar side all the companies have their cigar samplers out! Ashton has two: the VSG sampler and the Classic Ashton.

The makers of Montecristo have the Classic Montecristo with an ashtray, The H-Upmann with ashtray, the Romeo Y Julieta with Ashtray and the Operation Hope Selection with a torch lighter. Great buys and selections for the holidays!

We have our own Miami cigar! The Cuervo Rojo! Red Crow for the English tongue …lol. A great medium smoke at an affordable price created in Miami by a Cuban master for Benningtons.

So whatever we will be eating or drinking these holidays I always recommend Zino Davidoff’s advice. Smoke less but smoke the best, which I think also fits for everything else we do in life… Long Ashes all....
