Well I'm back from Cuba and the Habanos Festival 2010. As you can see from the pictures, the Cigar crop is looking good and a great time was had by all.

We will have a limited number of the Cohiba Behike at Sautters in April so reserve your box now!

In Cuba today Johnny and I are out in the tobacco fields where we met Hector Kidez, hector is a wonderful tobacco grower and we looked at the fillers and the wrappers being made for the 2010 harvest. Boy the harvest is late this year due to the rain and everything else but these tobacco leaves look something else. They really are going to mature into something very special. We have been through all of the tests learning all about the tobacco in the fields and we are in for a fantastic harvest for the 2011 cigars.

Anyway its really nice down in the cigar region of Pino del Rio.

This is an update from Cuba. LD and JB have been having the most unbelievable week. With guests of our wonderful hosts of Cubans, and not forgetting the absolute wonderment we feel to Hunters and Frankau who have showed us such an amazing time. They have taken us to the Tobacco fields, to the factories, to the local casers and even had people rolling for us the most wonderful cigars. But a special thank you from Sautters goes out to Jemma and Simon, and of course David Lewis, who as chairman of Hunters and Frankau has got to our on record on our blog as a superhero.

 David Lewis, former corporate financer at Ambrose recalled a story late on night where he and his corporate finance partner did a box of Monety’s whilst completing a transaction. It was an all-nighter, and when I asked what was the memorable moment, he said lighting up the last cigar and completing the transaction.

Tuesday evening 23^rd February from Havana. My name is Laurence and I’m here with Johnny having a smoke here in Havana. This little baby comes in 3 sizes, the Behiki, 52 girth, 54 inch girth and for the brave and seriously coinsured of all our customers, the behiki 56. this is no ordinary smoke. This is champion in its strength and power. Johnny was very naughty, he couldn’t help himself but managed to talk to one of the most beautiful looking girls in the factory and she organised that he and I should try one of these 56 inch, and believe me, 2 hours later we were still swooning by the taste and aroma of what must be tone of the most powerful cigars in the history, certainly of http://www.sauttercigars.com/brands/cohiba.html. Its going to be launched on Friday night at the Gala dinner. It is on 8pm on Friday and they are going to give us this dinner as a dedication to the new behiki label. I’m telling you this is the hottest picket in town. Its more difficult tot get to the behiki launch than it will be to get to the Oscars, and it will b so much better then the Oscar. This will be a masking success.

I will update you soon.

Goodbye from Laurence and Johnny

This is the Laurence Davis of http://www.sauttercigars.com reporting from Cuba on the launch of the Julieta, yes http://www.sauttercigars.com/brands/romeo-y-julieta.html having finally come out of the scantily clad red aluminum tin which are 5 absolutely lovely lady cigars.

In the pom ceremony at the Great museum of Bella in down town Havana, Romeo and Julieta launched its first cigar aimed at the ladies market. This is a beautiful little smoke, very elegant, very sweet in taste. Quite good for a man if he wants to have a little afternoon smoke and not really be caught up in whether he can.

Hi all,

I am off to Cuba on Feb21st for the Habanos Festival.


The main event being the Big launch of the Cohiba Behike, which will be available in 3 sizes from 52 to 56 ring gauge.

These promise to be awesome Havanas!

Hi Everyone, I hope you are enjoying your summer
 
If you are a lover of Cuban Cigars, the Open series is now available from Montecristo.
Featuring... The Junior, Master, Regatta and my Havana choice The Eagle (shorter but with the same 54 ring gauge as my favorite Cuban cigar the Montecristo Sublime)

Last Thursday evening I was fortunate to be involved in one of those truly magical events that can only happen in the heart of London in elegant Mayfair. Like the Berkeley Square Ball, the Mount St Festival attracts the glitterati, the glamorous and some serious “movers and shakers”.

Well, here I am, 30 years old and writing my first blog. The subject area more of a shock, than the time its taken me to put fingers to keyboard.

Summers Here!
 
The annual summer cigar party hosted by Hunters & Frankau falls on June 16th at the Devonshire Terrace, Devonshire Sq, London EC2. This year we will celebrate the new Montecristo Open series, a great Cuban smoke, I tried them  while I was in Cuba in March and they are Excellent Havana cigars!

Sun ,sea, cigars and lots of chicken!
this was my first trip to Cuba and when we land I see dismantled aircraft at the side of the runway. It reminds me a little of spain in the 1970`s.
We are met by Jorge our Cuban guide for the week. He speaks perfect english which he learnt in Moscow! He is a huge baseball fan which we talk about because I lived in the USA for some time, and he is annoyed at Castro for not allowing baseball to be shown on Cuban TV from the USA.
