XMAS, CRAZY and PRE to boot. An enjoyable and fun group met on 23.12.21 at 8 pm for an online smoke together. This article attempts to explain what the crazy smokers experienced.

There were conditions for participation

Wear a tie or bow tie. If necessary, it can also be a Christmas gift ribbon, or shoelaces, or a string
This does NOT mean that you have to wear a shirt, T-shirt or other top. You may, but you don't have to ?
You have to puff two different cigars at the same time to tell the group how you like them. Well, let's not be so strict: you can puff more than two cigars at the same time, or just one cigar?

But it wasn't that strict. You were also allowed to smoke a single cigar at a time ?

XMAS Smoke 2021 — Andy implemented the condition very creatively: he copied a bow tie up until he could tie it on ?

Fantastic guests at the Crazy PRE-XMAS Smoke

The guests dressed up. Even a Christmas lady was there. We talked, for example, about whether the cut of the cigar influences the taste; or how to store cigars. Or which pairing tastes good with which cigar.

On the subject of the V-Cut, we strayed a little from the actual topic. Someone said that you get tobacco crumbs on your tongue when you V-Cut. I asked: "So, let me get this straight: you stick your tongue in the V-Cut?" From that moment on, serious conversation was over. But let's not get into that now, because it's really not meant for the general public...

A number of cigars were tasted and some pairings enjoyed. Vasilij enjoyed two infused Cuban cigars. Fantastic experience. If you want to know more about it, please watch the Cigars ZEN program: Infused cigars - enjoyment on a new level

Around 23:30, the fun was over. One of the participants suddenly took one of the conditions very seriously and took off his top ?

Many thanks to you crazy smokers! You gave us a fantastic evening.

Fantastic vocal performance

The host, Vasilij Ratej, delighted the guests with a vocal interlude at the beginning. He sang the aria "Turandot: Nessun dorma." But only the last 20 seconds, the final, so to speak. He ran out of breath and fainted. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to show the 39-second video because it would violate copyright laws. But some of the Cigars.Zone circle have received it via WhatsApp or email.
