What is your favourite cigar shop?

Right now I have really only been investing in Cubans. I have to go online for those. I would have to say iHavanas, COC & EGM Cigars.

I haven't visited yet, but I'm sure Davidoff of London will be my number 1 physical shop.

What is your favourite lounge?

My sun room which I have named the Havana Room. One day I hope to visit the Sahakian Lounge. I am sure that will quickly become my number 1. Unfortunately I cannot label it as just that because I haven't visited it. Looking forward to the day I can update this answer as just the Sahakian Lounge.

What is your favourite method of ignition?

Soft flame to toast the cigar. After my mouth has watered enough, hit it with the jet.

Straight Cut and Flower Cut (Eddie Sahakian)
