Met Hamlet at local shop event here in Va couple weeks ago. Great time and lots of laughs. 

[El Presidente]

Smithy flew in and joined Foxy, Hamlet and myself for dinner at one of my favourite Miami restaurants, "PM" Second time this week!

Cigar friendly with one of the best octopus dishes in town.

 

 

Cigars and laughs a plenty as we colluded to determine a plan for global domination and the downfall of Habanos.

......only kidding  

 

Collusion complete,........time for the Tomahawk

5 bottles of wine, rum  and a squillion cigars later, we kicked on until 3am. 

Smithy picked up the bill. He is invited back anytime!

Gym session this morning was stomach churning. 

Meetings on ShooAway were a challenge.

Foxy headed to the airport looking a whiter shade of pale. 

I haven't heard from Hammy in 24 hours. 

I promised Smithy to  be at my best  tomorrow.

I had to go thru my photos to make sure they included Smithy. Not sure why, but any pics that Debbie took somehow managed to crop him out! Don’t take it bad, @asmith normally she cuts off everybody at the neck... 😳

Absolutely marvelous  weekend. Rob is a charming and generous host and everyone else were delightful company. Definitely worth the drive! 😀

Great meals, cigars, conversations and laughs were had over the weekend.  The flash on your camera Charles seems to have washed out my hair and made it all grey.

And you wonder why I only posted pictures that I wasn’t in? 😬 Absolute delight meeting you! Debbie was crowing all the way home about how much fun she had!!! I am currently downing my 4th beer, without being fully convinced that it will make me feel better... 🤢

Now you're just going to have to bring the missus to more cigar events.

I bring her to most social events. Otherwise, I just sit in the corner and try my best to resemble a lump of coal... 😔

re: AA flight attendants disappearing after meal service. They are notorious for this these days, even in first.

re: The Stafford. Awesome place! I love the American Bar.

The same thing happened to me on Debbie’s camera, ‘cept she wasn’t using a flash... 😔
