Fantastic – since more than 3 weeks Hamburg faces bright sunshine from dusk till dawn. It causes me this sunshine reggae–sittin’ in the sun–sipping Cuban rum - feeling. Yesterday our friends from the Hamburg Classic Car Club popped in for some smokes and we enjoyed the current Bolivar Gold Medals. LCDH Hamburg turned out to be the smokiest place in town again – and with some more Daiquiris we had our Sunshine Reggae. Life could not be any better.

Some folks started chatting about the new smokes from The Island but in fact we do not expect the new Hoyo Epicure Especiales and H.Upmann Magnum 50 before the end of July. Later the evening we had some samples of another upcoming smoke – Partagas Salomones. Made exclusively for LCDH these “sledge hammer”- smokes will be available later this year. Common sense was we should have some more drinks and some more Reggae. I will have to check with Massimo de Giovanni, head of the Italian cigar clubs, if we may have some more party on the real location soon – he knows the places 
