Happy New Year!!!

Dear all - this is just a quick post to wish everybody a very Happy New Year!!! Hope you all had a chance to spend some quality time with your family and friends and, of course, enjoy some great cigars!

I certainly did! To prepare for the holidays, in fact, I paid a much deserved visit before Christmas to Ajay, at La Casa del Habano in Teddington, and bought some outstanding cigars...  More to come on them in future posts.

Instead, let me quickly describe some of the latest aged cigars that Ajay managed to obtain, including in particular some historical Partagas cigars.

For example, some Partagas Special Cabinet Selection for JJ Fox, probably from the 60s, in the picture below...

... as well as the original Lusitanias, again from the 60s, which were then made in a 109 format rather than the standard double-corona (note that the head is smaller - the 109 has since been reproduced in various occasions, at least in terms of format, including recently for the 2010 - 165 Aniversario Humidour which was presented at the Partagas Festival in Cuba last November)

Ajay also managed to put his hands on some aged "traditional" Lusitanias (not sure but at least from the 80s). What can I say... if any of you is wondering what could be a good present for next Christmas, just look at the picture below! :))
