Spent a great deal of time in Cornwall over the years. Mostly surfing. 

I used to stay at the Headland Hotel, for a few weeks every year.

Best Club sandwich in the world. Great sardines. And was one of the best places to enjoy a cigar.

I love Cornwall. Loads of great places for a cigar but I can't say I ever saw people out smoking when I have been there.

One of the best place in the world, stunning place. There's quite a few cigar stores too, the one in Penzance being the best; great little couple who run it.

It's changed a lot over the years but it's still ready to find tiny untouched villages and beaches, row out a little and catch your dinner and cook it on the beach while drinking some cyder from the nearest farm etc

Absolutely. 5mm steamer and some booties. Too easy.

I actually recall one session in Croyde, which is in Devon, in late-winter, where I had almost paddled out the back, without having to duck dive and couldn't believe my luck. Next thing a big set came and I had to go under about four waves in a row. At the time I couldn't wear a wetsuit hood because I had massive dreadlocks, and after four duck dives I got the most severe ice cream headache and in fact a little lightheaded and woozy. So I had to go back in.

Surf was about 4-5 foot, totally glassy and pumping.

Sat by the fire with a Guinness and watched some mates tear it to pieces.

I dont live in Cornwall but do live in the South West of England (Somerset..)  I concur on most of the points raised. Certainly our ginger cat Jinx gets a fair bit of money lavished on him. Water is really expensive and I do spend more than I can afford on cigars. Narcotics - I'm a responsible father now.
