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 days with Djunior before warm spring weather brings grass and cows where there are sleds and kids now.
Tobacconist ++;

Tobacconist++;
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 :)

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?

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!”

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