First CP Europe Herf

[Wurm]

Brewmeister and his lovely Wife, Double D and I will be making the grand old town of Nürnberg Germany unsafe tomorrow

Will post pictures after the fact tomorrow evening

I'm really looking forward to meeting Tim and smoking a few good ones with him :thumbs:

Have fun, Tim is a great BOTL. I have herfed with him a few times.

You gotta watch that Brewmeister... he'll just pack up and leave in the middle of the night! No warning, no notice -- just gone! :laugh: :laugh:

 

[sack]

OH to hoist a real German beer at a herf would be great! Enjoy yourselves, PROST! :love:

 

[Wurm]

What a fabulous time!

We found ourselves at Casa del Puro (La CASA DEL HABANO ) in Nürnberg

2 floors of cigar bliss located over top of a book store, right at the Marktplatz where every year the famous Christmas Market is held.

Great service, atmosphere and :0 what a selection. (BTW those pictures are of TWO fully stocked humidors, and not two different views of one. They also had a very large pipe and pipe tobacco selection

I was so hectic this morning and forgot my camera (charged the battery and formated the SD card too ) so no pictures of the actual herf, Tim had his wife take a few pictures of us enjoying a few good cigars so I'm sure he will post them later.

After a lethargic few hours at the Casa we picked up shop and walked to the Barfuesser Bierkeller to have lunch. Sack I'm sorry to say I was the only one who partaked of a cold German Dunkel Bier, the rest of the gang drank the German specialty "Spezi" which is a mix of orange soda and cola. The food was excellent and other than two yahoos testing some sound equipment for a private party later that night, we had an excellent time and enjoyed a few more good cigars including a mystery cigar Dennis Hawk sent me and an excellent little power house Tim gifted both Dale and I.

I can not express how nice both Tim and his wife are. He showed up with a 30 count herf-a-dor whipped it out and told us to feel free to grab whatever we wanted. We also brought a few "hard to get" cigars for him but were humbled by his generosity.

Today my fellow BOTLs was a great day. And if you ever have the opportunity to herf with the Brewmeister DO IT! He is one hell of a guy! :thumbs:

*edit* to add more info.

Tim is one helluva botl and very generous. It was lovely afternoon and I was happy to have the oppurtunity to meet Tim and his lovely wife. this was the first time I had been to this particular cigar lounge truly nice and awesome service very comfortable.

 

[Wurm]

Just wanted to add...

My Promised ACID testing will be delayed for at least a month, I blew about two months cigar budget in less than an hour today :blush: :laugh:

 

[NullSmurf]

...like, DAMN!

Hey, that was really nice. You guys don't get to do this often with
your US BOTL's, I'm sure it was special. Nice pics BTW, looks like a well
organized B&M.

I guess you have to watch the sky these days, you never know what may fall out.

:0 I've heard about you mister! *goes and runs off to warn German Strategic Command!*

In all seriousness, it was really a fine day. And Dale and I both hope to meet more fellow CPers in the future.

There is one heck of a brotherhood at this board. :thumbs:

And Shooter, the pictures in no way do the place justice. I'm going to ask if I can move in if I ever win the Lottery lol

Not a bad selection for a retail place.

Pics of the loot you picked up Wurm!!!

Great looking place to herf!

 

[brash]

WOW! What a nice place.

 

[BrewMeister]

Well it was a fantastic time! It was truly a pleasure to meet Double D & WURM. We couldn't have asked for two finer hosts! They meet us downtown around 1030 hours. They offered to take us where ever we'd like and we took in the local sights a bit on the way to our first stop.

The Casa del Puro was no doubt the fanciest cigar store I've ever been in, it was truly a 1st class place, it just opened in Feb. The service was great, as was the coffee and Jameson's... Dale and I enjoyed an excellent ISOM that supposedly was only available from this store, I can not, at the moment remember (I'm going to blame it on jet-lag) what the heck it was, maybe Dale will remember.

Here are a couple pictures, the first is on our way to the Casa del Puro(L to R - Double D; Wurm; Me):

Here we are at the Casa del Puro:

If we hadn't have needed a bit to eat I could have spent the entire day here, a great place! And the Mrs. found plenty to keep her happy with mini-excursions into the local stores, she bought a bunch of the typical tourist stuff and had a great time.

Double D & Wurm graciously treated us to an excellent lunch. The wife & I had a tasty Jaeger Schnitzel with all the trimmings and I enjoyed another cigar, and she found more to buy.

We then did a bit more window shopping. About 1700 hours we had to say our goodbyes and headed back to Weilersbach.

Double D & Wurm gave me a great selection of smokes. Very generous indeed. Wurm also gave my wife a very interesting and unique gift related to his work, a Porcelain-Foil image, I believe. Very cool.

Great couple BOTL, great cigars, fantastic food, who could ask for more.

Our thanks to Double D and Wurm for a fantastic and memorable day! We'll have to do it again sometime!
