What We’re Smoking & Drinking (and where we are escaping)
💨 What We’re Smoking: Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro
Rich, bold, and unapologetically smooth — a cigar that’s earned its place in the gentleman’s rotation. Notes of cocoa, espresso, and quiet confidence. Light it when the deal closes or the world slows down.
🍸 What We’re Drinking: The Grey Martini
A sharp twist on an old-school classic — London Dry gin, a whisper of dry vermouth, and a dash of olive brine for attitude. Stirred, never shaken. Served ice-cold in crystal, because restraint is the real luxury.
🎿 Where We’re Traveling: Gstaad, Switzerland
Where snow meets style and fur meets finance. Chalet terraces, vintage champagne, and fireplaces that tell stories. Forget après-ski — this is après-success.
