As it is high summer we need our tweeds more than ever as this broadcast from the draughty halls of the ancestral hovel demonstrates
This episode sees us put the H Upmann Magnum 56 through its paces Happily these cigars come with instructions printed on the back of the splendid ceramic jar
Among the highlights of this broadcast is my recounting of the story of the Freeman family’s ownership of this storied cigar brand. So involved with the negotiations for its sale, that an ocean liner was inadvertently boarded during negotiations.
Elsewhere we namecheck the marvellous Kirby Alison and his sovereign grade garments.
Somehow conversation wanders onto the subject of Venice and the Gritti Palace, should this excellent hotel’s Proprietors be working, we would be very happy to broadcast from this wonderful Venetian landmark. Hopefully we won’t even need our tweeds.
