   Hi Steve,

   Love your wisdom, unfortunately my sound reception was very poor.
   All I can say, ‘I hope the cigar was not alight!’
   You are right at home with people like Winston Churchill, as for Fidel you would eat him for breakfast!
   More wisdom please!

   quite true, quite true. I must add, the the best cigar in the world is the one only sold in honolulu airport - rolled with chocolate - surprising I know - but a great way to leave the island - give you a minute to enjoy before hawaii becomes a memory.

   ‘Second time around…’!

   He’s right too. When I was a committed pipe man in the seventies and eighties, the best smokes were the ones which were packed properly, lit properly and enjoyed properly. The sight of someone forking around in a pile of half burnt dottle meant that the smoke was never going to be as good as the first bits.

   As for the ritual, always use matches, as like beer, it always tastes better from the wood!

   And, you can only strike a match once… ;0)

   Steve, great to see you. Quite agree with the wisdom, but I’ve always wanted to know the time in Timbuktu, now I can, thanks to you.
