Lake of Zurich: Cool Water

Still in China – preparing for my final exams at the university, I enlisted for this year’s „Davidoff Schiff“-Tour. It’s quite an unusual concept: Cigar smokers are invited to a trip in a private boat on the Lake of Zürich on certain dates during summer.
I was just back in Switzerland when the day of the trip arrived. During the three-hour boat ride, passengers are served refreshments, a good dinner and – as it is organized by „Davidoff“ – a good smoke or two. I was accompanied by a friend of mine who also enjoys culinary pleasures and knows quite a bit about wine.

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a magnificent sundown on the Lake of Zürich, puffing away our first „Davidoff Robustos Millennium Blend“ while being refreshed by the cool breeze blowing on deck. During the following three-course-dinner, I was especially delighted by an avocado-shrimp salad spiced with vinegar and pepper. We concluded the night with two hours of a Zino Double Corona.

I’ll give this experience the characters „Bing Shui“: „Cool Water“, with regards to Mr. Fröhlich, owner of „Premium Cigars“. He came up with this suiting name for the picture when I first sent it to him. If you take a close look on the background, you can find Rapperswil Castle throning in the middle of the city’s ancient town. Which is also a beautiful place to go for a stroll.
