Custom rolled Salomónes cigar made for the 15th Partagas (November 2007) Dinner in Cuba.
A buddy attended the 20th Anniversary dinner in 2012 and brought a bunch of these back. I had the pleasure to acquire a couple for personal consumption. I found it to be a very pleasurable experience – earthy and woody, and pretty refreshing (like a Cohiba Siglo VI almost). Curiously, no spice.
Inside the VIP lounge.
Looked like any lounge/club, just with less people.

Had the bartender create something with Laphroaig-like scotch. Played Jenga.

This year, Fashion’s Night Out was more of a guys night out…. MH wearing a $7000 Gucci Coat.
It’s been about 2 years since the last time we were here.
Perused the special St-Estèphe menu, that chef John Sendler resurrected for the month of September, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the birthplace of modern Southwest cuisine. Despite even the prices being the same as in 1981, we passed. We, or rather I and I dragged her along, intended to eat the pibil!
