Looks like TSF lives to fight another day and that Stirling is out. Maybe a late shaver will save it at the expense of HoM before the official tally?

I had a very nice early morning shave with Cognac and Cuban Cigars, such a pleasant, easy scent. Now I’m sitting in the train to the alps to spend a couple snow days with Djunior before warm spring weather brings grass and cows where there are sleds and kids now.
My favorite HoM scent for cold weather. Cognac and Cuban cigars is a real-life dream for me. Cuban cigars are banned for sale in the US. There’s a black market here, but I don’t know how to reach it. I manage to make-do with Cognac (or Armagnac) and non-Cuban cigars, though :)
No, I missed out. I can have my son bring me a few from Paris, or I can pick some up when I visit him. It’s a bit of a bucket-list thing, but I suspect that when I have one, I’ll think, “Oh, it’s a cigar!”

I had a brief phase where I smoked Cuban cigars, but stopped about 20 years ago. Tobacconist still smells glorious to me :)
Did you get a few Cuban cigars in the brief window when sanctions got lessened during Obama?

Exactly 🤣
But it’s going to be nice to combine this with a visit in Paris!
