Post-travel roundup

[narcasse]

- Cohiba Siglo I cigars are wonderful things, truly. Unfortunately deciding to smoke two of them over two consecutive days on both occasions before I’d eaten and while I was slightly exhausted probably wasn’t the best idea I’ve had. That said, smoking on a balcony before dawn in my pyjamas was actually rather entertaining though I never did get around to taking a photograph of the view.
- Davidoff mini cigarillos are in fact longer than the regular cigarillos I smoke. I’ve no idea why they’re ‘mini cigarillos’ and I can’t quite evaluate the taste at the moment since I’m busy drinking ginger, lemon & apple tea to offset current tiredness and slight illness post-travel.
- Ought to have jotted the name down but while the glass of Canadian Riesling I had on Friday night wasn’t bad it still wasn’t quite German enough for my tastes.
- Still haven’t tried the icewine but shall probably plan to pick up a bottle of the maple syrup icewine combination next time. That way I can make nekonexus and kintail share it with me.
- Genuine Canadian maple syrup works wonderfully in ginger & lemon tea.
- And when I find it, I have the prettiest 1GB flashdrive which came as part of a much better take on wedding favours than the usual excess of sugared almonds.

Trumpour's Mill, I do believe. ... If you mean the one you cooked with and had some on Tuesday night. ^_~

Ah, but cooking happened with Cabernet Merlot and not whatever Riesling the hotel had. That was nice stuff though and cooking might have to happen with it again at some point.

Ah, yes. Well. ^_^; You see how much I know about wine.

We can do the maple syrup Eiswine next time though maybe not to cook with. And maybe some Kir Royals though you do actually need champagne for that. Have you drunk the Asti yet?

Dude, mostly we've been sleeping. And tea. And more sleep. ^_^; We may get to the Asti this weekend.

Sleep is also an applicable function or so I hear. I’ve been drinking tea and eating Vitamin C and finding more Matchbox Twenty and Alice Cooper than I’ve heard in a while on WinShuffle which doesn’t exactly constitute much by way of doing.

Also, this (http://www.teapalace.co.uk/Tea-Tonics-CTEATONICS/) selection of teas looks interesting.

Would try the maple syrup in the ginger & lemon, that I adore. Sadly, I don't smoke on a regular basis, but I'll keep it in mind, who knows..

oh, a marriage... :D!

The Siglo I cigars are only small ones in comparison so if you ever felt like trying them they probably wouldn’t do you any harm. That said I would warn against smoking one on an empty stomach or while very tired, especially if you don’t smoke regularly.
