Smoking Club
8th March 2017Soho Whisky Club, Old Compton Street
Leaving work in good time to be at the start, I was thwarted by various road closures in the area and once I'd been swept north of Oxford St it was hopeless, no roads seem to run where you need them and it took nearly half and hour to get back to Old Compton St!
The Whisky Club is a specialist shop with a nice little terrace on top - very discreet as there's no street signage at all. As I was late our Club was well into its stride with a good turnout enjoying a fine selection of cigars - Assistant Colin Ritchie kindly pressed one of his retirement collection on me and, beer in hand, I settled in. In addition to Liveryman Tony Scanlan and his Membership Committee team (Liverymen Elise, Jemma and Jerry), there were variously about 20-30 or so stallworts and guests and it was as one might expect of our Livery, very convivial - the time passed quickly and with numbers thinning, I went in search of forage with Tim Allen (IPM's son) and mutual pal, Max.
Thank you to the Membership Committee for an excellent evening in another novel location!
