Kimfessions: Connoisseur Kim's Homecoming With Punch 8-9-8 (REG OCT 19)

[GaryK 54]

Great review, Kim. I've been waiting for the return of Kimfessions. Your knowledge of Cuban cigars comes through so well in your reviews. You picked a great cigar to re inaugurate your review series. Keep them coming! 

Good to have you back, brother. If you're ever in Shanghai, I would be honoured to share cigars, drinks and conversation with you.

Great review and I look forward to your reviews in the future.True wealth is good health. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, @HuffnPuffff @SMELTZ! After reducing lots of weight and body fat for several years (from 99 kg to 70s kg), my health has got much better than before (with more muscle gain of course), which is good for me cuz I now feel more alive. Can't wait to post even more CC reviews soon!

Much appreciated, @GaryK 54! As you said, Punch 8-9-8 is not only a great cigar but also suitable CC for the return of Kimfessions, as it's complex and wonderful without being harsh despite only 4yrs of ageing.

I hope that I can have a herf with you when I'm travelling to Shanghai, cuz cigar herf is always enjoyable as posting The Kimfessions 👍

Hey All,

New to the site and this is my first post. 

Thanks C Kim for the great review - also really appreciate the Seoul map of cigar lounges in one of your previous posts - super helpful. Any hotel recommendations nearby Zepplin or other notable lounges? I usually stay at Shilla. We will be in Seoul from 10/1 - 10/8 and would love to meet up with any cigar lovers in the area!

Also, welcome one and all to Singapore for a smoke - if you come, let me know and we can hook up.

Cheers

Thanks, @Singapore Dave! It's indeed one of the cool cigar lounges, and I'm sure you'll like this cigar B&M if you want to puff CCs with Guinness Draught 👍

There are more cigar lounges when you go to the luxurious and exotic districts of Seoul like Gangnam. De La Mano is also one of the best cigar lounges I've visited. It has more whisky selections than Led Zeppelin, which will allow you to have a great CC and whisky pairing 😃

For 5-star hotels, they're usually located in the west Seoul, and I think other hotels such as Sofitel, Signiel, and Grand International Hotel will be suitable for you, too.

I also hope that I can have a herf with you in either Korea or Singpaore, since cigar herf is always enjoyable and interesting 

Note. I'll let you know when I find more great cigar B&Ms in Seoul, as the map still work in progress (there are more newly opened cigar lounges than the past.)
