My BOTLs and SOTLs,
Simply put… I had a great time with Shawn (Wurm) in Germany. He is a true lover of the leaf and I am honored to call him “friend.”
Shawn was kind enough to pick me up at the Nürnberg Haptbahnhof (train station), AND he also made arrangements at a nearby hotel. But…hey…it’s Germany so we made a pit stop and had a beer …well…not just any beer…but Tucher Dunkel and Bratwurstglöckleins (little grilled sausages) in Handwerkerhof (which is the oldest part of Nürnberg – the original keep and fortified part of the town.)
Bottom line… we drank and ate our fill and then dropped our bags off at the hotel and made a bee-line to the Mecca of cigar stores: Casa del Puro / La Casa del Habano. Shawn and I liked it so much; we bought the walk-in humidor... You are all invited. Anytime…
Our new Humi!
Being the good American, I only smoked the White Owls (apparently they make a “puro”) from downstairs. I also was very surprised by Guatemalan rum that was aged 23 years… this is not your Bacardi Gold, my friends. This was something akin to sipping a good Merlot or fine single malt. I had no idea rum could be that good. (Gee thanks again, Shawn! Nothing like being addicted to things that are hard to get!) ahem!
It was all a cycle of sorts… We would eat and drink until we were full, then smoke until we were hungry and thirsty, then we would eat and drink until were full, then smoke until… Well, you get the picture.
Taking a break from smoking…Drinking more…
...more smokin'
See a pattern forming?
A good time… and I found a new Brother.
Thanks, Shawn…
C&G… Truly humbled by Wurm’s hospitality.
