I actually took this trip back in May but have been so busy I haven't gotten around to posting the highlights and pictures to the people who would actually appreciate it the most. I could go on and on and probably whip up a 3 pager about the great cities, countryside and distilleries ect but I'll just give the cliff notes.
First stop was London and stayed at the Stafford hotel. Fantastic hotel and best part was is was located 100 yards from the Davidoff store which was AMAZING! Over priced...maybe but who the hell cares with such a selection. My business partner actually ended up having a very close common friend with the store manager and he gave us several free smokes and a decent discount. I picked up a box of Silgo IVs, a few Maduro Magicos and Partagas. Third picture is the courtyard of the hotel wich was a great place to relax and enjoy these sticks. The Davidoff store was just at the end of the hall there. Fourth pic is sitting in Queens park by the lake. Weather was absolutely perfect for our entire stay.
Next I was off to Inverness Scotland and stayed at the Culloden House which is absolutely amazing as you can see from the pics. They had a very respectable scotch selection as well. I would spend the evenings on the expansive grounds with a Siglo IV and glass of 30 year.
Then we took a nice drive to the Macallan distillery in the Highlands for a tour and tasting. Amazing and impressive facility. Ya know that little house on each bottle of Mac.... check the third pic.
Then I was off to Edinburg and stayed at the Balmoral Hotel. All I can say is AMAZING town and the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The service even topped the Mandarin Oriental in NYC. Besides the town being straight out of Braveheart with amazing castles and history, it had some great cigar shops. Nothing like firing up great stick at the top of Edinburgh Castle. Fantastic trip!
