Upcoming – Cuban cigars & Caribbean Rum at the Bluebird

Patio of the Bluebird
It’s that time of year again. That’s right, it’s time for the Bluebird’s summertime cigar extravaganza! Last year, Penny, manager of the Wine Cellar at the Bluebird put on a fantastic evening of fine aged Cognac and Cuban cigars (read about last year’s event here). It was held in the lovely patio of the Bluebird restaurant and was a great success and a lot of fun!
This year, Penny has pulled out all the stops and is featuring Caribbean rum along with one of my favourite cigars, the Partagas series D no. 2. The event will kick off with a rum cocktail on arrival followed by a tasting of 4 premium rums:

Chairman's Rum
Chairman’s Reserve Golden Rum from St. Lucia, one of the leading golden rum distillers from the Windward Island of St.Lucia, the distillery was founded in 1932 by the Barnard family. It’s a double distilled pot still and column still rum for a refined and smooth lash…
Elements 8 Rum is another St. Lucian, this one made up of 8 distinct elements blended together to create this super premium rum from a family that’s been producing rum for over 120 years.
Trois Rivieres Rum, this one hails from the nearby island of Matinique, this is a smooth, fruity rum aged in oak barrels, sounds promising!
And lastly, the Diplomatico Rum, a slight change of place for this one,whilst we’re still in the Caribbean, we’ve now moved onto Venezuela which is known for their quality rums. This one comes from Destilerias Unidas which has been producing top of the line rum for 45 years.
All the rums will be paired with Galler ‘Elements’ Chocolates which are exceptional Belgium choccies developed by Jean Galler and his team of chocolatiers.

oooh, very Caribbean!
We’ll also be able to puff on a freshly rolled Partagas throughout the evening. Light snacks will also be included, which you’ll be able to munch on whilst watching the live demonstration of the fine art of cigar rolling.
So, 5 rums, fine chocolates, one Cuban cigar and light snacks in the inviting and cosy patio of The Bluebird, all for 35 quid, can’t think of a better way to spend a summer’s eve. I almost forgot to mention that there will also be Cigar, Rum and Chocolate hampers for sale that evening.
