I called up the hotel where the a fore mentioned Cigar Event is being held, and Spoke to the concierge. He said that the Events only cater for 16 people. The guests (who are treated on a first come, first serve basis - i.e. if we book tickets in advance we are guaranteed) arrive at 6:30, a cigar/brand expert gives a presentation on the particular Cigar, and why the accompanying drink compliments it. You then smoke said Cigar, and drink said drink - and talk amongst yourselves, and with the expert. After an hour/hour and a half, the event formally finishes but you are allowed to stay in the lounge area of the hotel, carry on drinking (presumably you have to pay for extra drinks) until you wish to leave.
I think there are also canapes served. I'm not sure, but I think you may get more than 1 drink, and you may also get more than 1 Cigar included in the £25...
I'm up for trying it out, and CJ has also said he's up for it. If anyone else wants to come along, let me know and i'll book us some tickets.
Dale, real shame you're not about, but if it's good, we'll go to the next one (in April).
Just thought I'd let you guys know...
