Cigar Friendly

La Vida Buena

Do we not each have a place of longing? In times of travel warnings and closed borders, they come to mind more than ever. A long time ago, I saw a picture of the bright, white Castel del Monte in Apulia. Since then, I have been drawn to the heel of Italy’s boot. My expectations, which had been piling up over 30 years, were high. They were exceeded many times over.

 A Tour of Doha’s Cigar Lounges

In recent years, Qatar has been talked about across the globe. Thanks to the country’s thriving economy, which is mainly based on the export of natural gas and oil, Qatar has been able to position itself among the richest countries in the world. But the peninsula has undoubtedly received most of its attention for its hosting of the 2022 FIFA world cup. 

Turmeaus Shop

 C.Gars Ltd took over Turmeaus in 2003. The London-based company’s new flagship store, rechristened Turmeaus Cigars and Whisky, is now in the center of Liverpool.

The Taste of Havana

Recently published, the cookbook The Taste of Havana has numerous original Cuban recipes, is full of funny anecdotes and enlivened with colorful photos.

Put on whatever music you like – son cubano, rumba, salsa or reguetón – turn on the stove, and start cooking!

Even Las Vegas has its limitations, at least when it comes to smoking. But there are still plenty of great cigar spots in the city, both on and off the Strip.

Sexy Cocktails in Berlin

“Poor, but sexy!” This is the motto of Germany’s capital. The description of the city of former mayor Klaus Wowereit is evidenced in many subject areas – from the economic situation to the hip trendy neighborhoods. In one area, though, it’s not quite true: the city’s bar scene. It isn’t poor, and in its diversity is very sexy.
