Memories of My Cigars days

Memories of My Cigars days...

I retrieved an old copy of Cigar World Magazine from 2001, with an article about London's Sommeliers and "what to drink with your cigar?" back from our London years at CHE Restaurant, Cocktail Bar & Cigar Lounge on St. James street (used to be on the ground floor and first floor of the Economist Building)

Cigar World Magazine cover 2001

A time when I remember smoking quite a few cigars every week... with the team: John Davey, Fossard Eric, Tim McLaughlin-Green, Ludovic Peyrard, Stephane Gilet, and even Mark Pratt during the break in the afternoon at the bar of the small hotel/club next door.. (St. James ?)..

Mike West, Stephane Gilet, Dominique Noël, John Davey and more...

And of course I also remember smoking with Georges Dos Santos, Yves Sauboua, Christophe Brunet, during memorable dinners and parties... even with Christophe Vuillemin, Stephane Buliard, Jorge Calisto, and a few others (and some already mentioned above) during our time at Monte's Club.. 😁 ...

What a great time we had and what a dream team.

LeDomduVin: A Huge Thank You to all my readers...

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS....

Recently, I was astonished to reach the milestone of 1,200 page views in just 7 days, which is huge for a small blogger like me. Thank you for this. 

Today, I was just checking something on my blog and was immediately stopped by the number of page views. At first, I refreshed the page to see if it was a mistake. No, it was not. I was speechless. I could not believe the number of page views in the last 7 days: 

17,517 (and climbing...)

WOW!?! Such numbers may appear rather small for the renowned bloggers out there, yet for a small blogger like me who only writes sporadically... THAT'S AMAZING!?!  And the only thing I can say is

 A HUGE THANK YOU to ALL MY READERS... 

You are the inspiration and motivation behind my writings.

Cheers! Santé!  And thank you again! Stay tuned for more posts in the near future.
