The Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival took its roots from other cigar events that have been hosted around the country such as The Big Smoke in Las Vegas or CIGARfest in Pennsylvania. What makes The Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival unique is its distinctly Colorado flavor. Colorado businesses from car dealers to beer, spirit & wine makers are taking part to give event goers a real feel of the Rocky Mountains.

Colorado-cigar enthusiasts are already talking about how they can?t wait to light up for this event. When asked why he will be attending The Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival, Colorado-cigar-smoker Dustin Wilson states, ?The chance to put a face with the people that blend my favorite cigars is reason enough for me- but the goody bag and shot at winning a motorcycle is a pretty enticing reason as well.? President of Villiger Stokkebye International, Erik Stokkebye, voices his enthusiasm saying, ?Smoker Friendly always puts together great events ? and I?m sure this will be a fantastic cigar event.? Cigar manufacturers from around the world will be flying in to give Colorado area consumers the opportunity to try products and ask questions. Finally, a big smoke event, without the big city.

Tickets are limited and available at all Smoker Friendly locations and online at http://www.rmcigarfest.com

Spending a short vacation in Tampa is always pleasing. If you are young, outdoorsy, and love to explore the history and culture of America then Tampa is a great place to start from. If you are really in the mood to see the rich heritage of Tampa, taste the aromatic Cuban coffee, and let yourself loose on the rhythm and vibrancy of Latin music then you will never repent your decision of hiring a luxury limousine to cruise through the city, as nothing could be more apt and opulent then a ride on Tampa limo through the sprawling 170.6 square miles of this a Gulf Coast city of Hillsborough County.

Why should I visit Tampa?

The multi-ethnic Tampa is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Florida. The main attraction of Tampa includes “Busch Gardens amusement park”, “Seminole Hard Rock Casino”, “Ybor City,” the historic Spanish town that was once called the “Cigar Capital of the World,” and some world-class museums.

In 2004, it was chosen as the top city for “twenty something” by the New York University newspaper. Tampa was also chosen as the 5th best outdoor city by Forbes in 2008. Same year Yahoo! Real Estate declared that Tampa was the 8th cleanest city in America.

Why should I hire a Tampa limo?

Limousine services in Tampa reflect the fine taste of the city. The limo offerings in Tampa are as varied as are the multi-ethnic nature of the city itself. If on one hand Tampa offers expensive luxurious limousine cars with exquisite interior then on the other hand there are some budget airport town car services as well that take you through the heart of the city. In either case, you will get an experienced driver (if you have chosen a good limo rental company) to take you through the coolest locations in the city. If you wish, you can also ask your limousine company about the guide to give you the guided tour of the city.

What to see on a Tampa limo ride?

Before you book your ride make sure that you have done a little bit of research about what all is there to see. There are many things to see in Tampa, and what you see and what you don’t depends largely upon the time and money you have at hand. But there are places you should never miss in the city, if you are in Tampa. I am going to list a few below.

Tampa’s main attraction Busch Gardens Ybor City Florida Aquarium The Big Cat Rescue Lowry Park Zoo Tampa Museum of Art Raymond James Stadium Legends Field

If you have only a little time to spend then at least a visit each to Ybor City, Busch Gardens, and Tampa Museum of Art is highly recommended.

Ybor City: Cigar is what made Ybor City famous. It attracted many Cuban, Spanish, and Italian cigar workers in the 19th century and along with them moved many cigar factories to this location. Cigar production was the backbone of Tampa economy until the first few decades of the 20th century. Today, it has become a good tourist destination that offers Latin music, Cuban, Italian, Greek, and French cuisine, and of course cigar.

Busch Gardens: Busch Gardens is a 19th century African-themed park sprawling in 335 acres. You can encounter various exotic destinations of Africa here. It also has one of the country’s main zoological gardens, which holds more than 2,000 animals. You can also dine in the exquisite restaurants, see live shows, play games, and shop in this theme park.

Tampa Museum of Art:Tampa Museum of Art is one of the most famous museums located in downtown Tampa. It exhibits 20th century fine art, antiquities of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan civilizations.

London’s Top Five Bars

Even in the current recession new bars spring up like weeds. Their highly paid PRs ensure they get at least their hour in the sun and what new bar does not promise the earth?  How then can the discerning drinker sort the wheat from the chaff?  Well below is an insiders guide to London’s bar land.

Making a list of the best bars in London is of course in part a nonsense . The requirements of say a hip young clubber, cocktail aficionado and a gourmet are all going to be very. And that’s before getting into the whole bar vs bar restaurant, bar vs bar club, gay vs straight and public vs private members clubs issue. Below are what I call my five “best of breed” bars .

I make no attempt to crown one “best of show” because as any grocer  will tell you you cannot compare apples and pears.

Peacock Bar – best for entertainment www-the-peacock-bar.co.uk

Now I have to confess to some bias here as I book the club and helped create it. However in my defense Peacock Bar has been rated Best London Cabaret Venue, Best London Burlesque Show as well as Top Birthday Party Venue by ViewLondon [plus won just about every other award under the sun in the last six months including Top London Small Venue from Function Fixers and Spoonfed]. Our programming is very much musical comedy sketches /social commentary in the finest Kinks style After we have cheesy 80s, 90s, 00s till 2.30am with top Djs like Dave DiskoJuice. We also try and program seasonally so for Christmas we are presenting ” Christmas Lunch and Christmas Dinner with a difference with free burlesque and cabaret – put your boss on stage and humiliate him! Particularly well suited for birthday party, Christmas party, hen party and stag party bookings. Should Peacock Bar be rated best for Entertainment? Well where else in London can you get great cocktails, burlesque, cabaret and Djs till 2.in the morning all under one roof!  Runners up Inigo for electronic music and Hawley Arms for live bands.

Vinoteca – Best for wines

I almost did not include this bar because I was initially uneasy about its almost pure wine focus making it completely unlike any other bar I am aware of except possibly Vinopolis (whch isn’t really a bar anyway more a glorified supermarket not my cup of tea at all).
The wine list is a outstanding with a vast range to choose from including several many unusual options by the glass and this is what sets it apart from every other bar and restaurant in London where you have to purchase from the bottle. It is not possible to give justice to the breadth of the wine list in terms of grape varieties, countries and price points. Just go there.
Putting the wines aside I quite like the distressed brick like simplicity (think Smiths of Smithfield), food (suitably plain) offering and overall bar atmosphere. Runners up any Michelin restaurant who invariably have much better wines than any bar but especially Gavroche
It is the wine list that is the star at Vinoteca

Lab – best for cocktails
What Vinoteca is to wines Lab is to cocktails but like Vinoteca it is very much a one trick pony but hey what a trick! A very convenient position in the middle of Soho is a somewhat spoilt by a having to go into a rather dingy and low ceilinged basement (ignore the ground floor which is pokey and reminiscent of an  airport lounge) . The atmosphere can also be rather flat with too many out of towners trying out the excellent cocktails before moving onto dinner. The food average at best. Entertainment is just a CD player. However Lab has consistently produced the highest quality of cocktails in London bar none for at least the last five years and manages to do so in a non stuffy way (please note various hotel bars I prefer not to publicize). That for me means Lab gets my vote as one of London’s Top Five Bars. Runners up none spring to mine but a list of pretenders to the throne would be  endless

Loungelover – best for style
You either love it or you hate but everyone who has any sense of style loves it. Picture this a room are taken up by seating, which is mostly regency-style chairs with low, candlelit tables, each with a four foot champagne. The bar area features high glass fronted bookshelves filled up not with books, but with wine and glasses. Opposite the main room is an antiquities room and VIP area (also used for performances) also serves as a green room for any performers. The very back of the room is the red section of Loungelover. Decked out entirely in red, even down to red tinted windows, this area surely has only one purpose – seduction. And it works the drinks and food are first rate albeit on the pricey side. Runners up on the style front Ziegfrieds and Lost Society

The Library and Garden Room – best hotel bar
Not really my thing but for any US investment bankers reading this article get on down their fast. The Library at the Lanesborough Hotel conjures up drinking men’s clubs from regency times, with wall to wall books and high ceilings and though you won’t find old lords snoring in the corner, you will find a standard of service unknown since colonial days. Following a refurbishment, the Lanesborough has created The Garden Room, for those who believe the life went out of the London bar scene along with the smoke. An extensive collection of Cuban cigars is offered for those who want to complete their evening in style. Runners up Met bar and Zetters

Your cigar collection can never be considered complete until you get your hands on a good quality cigar cutter. Having good quality cigar cutters will enhance your smoking experience as they are vital piece of equipment for enabling you to have a smooth draw. Making a choice on which cigar cutter to purchase starts with recognising your exact need. Whether you are someone who smokes regularly or smokes only at particular occasions, a cigar cutter would certainly help you get a clean and convenient cut.

A cigar cutter is used to remove the cap of the cigar before smoking as it would lessen the enjoyment of smoking experience for the cigar enthusiast. Care must be taken to ensure that you are purchasing the right quality cigar cutter because; if you use an old, poor quality or worn cutter then it will ruin your cigar. Cigars are made of dried leaves, paper and tobacco and hence the chances of a cigar cut going awry are very high if you are using a bad quality cigar cutter.

A bad cut in the cigar can go unnoticed if you are an occasional smoker, but it is highly unlikely for an experienced cigar enthusiast to miss the impediment. While doing the cut, if the wrapper of the cigar gets damaged, then the cigar will be ruined for the smoker, and – whilst can still be smoked – it won’t be as enjoyable as experience.

Cigar cutters come in different shapes ranging from portable to desktop items and in different colours. They also come in combination with other devices and equipments like key chains, portable knife sets and other useful tools. The cigar cutter that you use must reflect your style and traits. If you are not sure about which cigar cutter to buy, it is always sensible to ask experienced cigar enthusiasts who would be happy to help you.
