My Lady Returned From London

[godfather]

Had to share this one, I have a good woman fellas. Before she left, she asked me if I wanted anything, I said, "Fogetta bout it," like any godfather would.

Of course she came back bearing gifts and brought me back a bottle of single malt scotch and a Montecristo #4 in a humipack!

In the process of getting educated on cigars, I guess it rubbed off on her too. I was pretty impressed she got a humipack, and she put the cigar band in her makeup kit...

Anyway, I had to share, apologies if it sounds like I'm bragging. I thought it was really cool how she pays attention to the 'little details' I tell her.

[basil]

sweet, bro.

It's especially cool she didn't get popped coming through customs!

Makes me think of that old Arlo Guthrie song, Mr Customs Man.

[Drake]

sounds like a good one.

[mithril]

Nice to know your rubbing off on your lady GF

Keep up the good work.

[heftysmokes]

Wow, I'm impressed. Scary thing is, they always remember those little things. Sounds like you got a woman good enough to let most of 'em go though!

Oi! If you told me she was going to London, I could have hooked you up with some of the best beer I've ever tasted... Or you could have hooked me up with it ;)

[Kayakinboy]

hey man, once they know the cigars, you never get ones you don't like!

...what was the beer called?

...what was the beer called?

It's called Fuller's Chiswick Ale.

When I was working in London, my office was right across the street from the Fullers brewery. If you were up real early in the morning, the air was filled with the smell of sweet mash, it was a beautiful thing.

There was a pub right next to the brewery. We'd often go to that pub if we didn't want to make the walk over to our usual pub. That pub (in Chiswick) had Chiswick Ale on draft. The only other place I've ever seen it is in cans at the Fullers brewery store...
