For those of you who have been attending our cigar evenings over the last couple of years, you will know George Frakes. With his dashing 1940’s look and his encyclopedic knowledge of, not only cigars, but of history too, George really makes his mark on everyone he speaks too.
Just by pure happenstance when deciding the dates for this event we didn’t realise we had picked St Georges’s day for the event, so for the first time ever we will be holding a St Georges Day cigar evening presented by George!
Our evening will feature two amazing sticks from Foundation Cigars which George imports – every single Foundation cigar I have tried is phenomenal and that is not understatement. We are keeping which cigars we are showing secret until the night, so it will be a pleasant surprise.
I will be capping the numbers for this event, so I do recommend booking in advance.
According to Ethiopian lore, the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon in Jerusalem, and their union bore Menelik, the Wise Man. This tale of heritage, wisdom, and cultural richness forms the essence of “The Wise Man” cigar line.
Nick Mellilo and his team have blended tradition and innovation to create an experience that is a testament to their art of cigar-making. Crafted with the utmost precision and expertise, this exceptional cigar embodies the historical tapestry that has influenced Foundation Cigar Company’s commitment to excellence.
All the tobaccos used to create this stunning cigar come from Nicaragua, with the Corojo wrapper delivering a sweet yet refined experience. Although medium-bodied it still delivers an immense amount of flavour whilst retaining it’s elegance.
Don’t be a fool, be a wise man – buy a stick today!
Many countries around the world make cigars, but only a select few make high quality, hand-rolled cigars. Check out some of those countries below.
With the big increase we have seen of people getting into smoking pipes it only follows that pipe tobacco should also see an uptick in sales. If you are looking for an old favourite or something new and interesting, check out these producers first before exploring the rest of the range.
The pipe maketh the man – so whether you are looking for something rather flamboyant or more elegant and refined, we will have something to suit. Our pipe range features such illustrious names as Alfred Dunhill, Savinelli and Rattray’s to name but three. Why not explore the range below and see what captures your imagination.
