If you're not logged in as a Ryze member, you should do it now! Next, become a member of this network to learn about cigars, single malt whiskies, wine, cheese, fine dining and more, and to be invited to cigar mixers and events which will feature, apart from cigars, at least one other component of the good life, be it scotch, gourmet dining, art.... you get the picture!
My knowledge of the subject matter is underscored by my love and utter appreciation of the same, and my passion involves as much a study of these things as it does an enjoyment of them.
I intend to hold these mixers and events on a regular basis in Dubai, and am working on making them affordable to just about everyone. I believe this is a fine way to savour the pleasures of the kind of lifestyle that Dubai allows us all.
These mixers will be a superb forum for like-minded people to get together and chat business, or just relax and have a sublimely pleasurable evening, while discovering the joys of life's finest indulgences.
Please feel free to post your suggestions, queries or anything you feel might be related to this network, and to cigars, wine, cheese, fine dining... simply put, whatever you think might be appropriate!
The first cigar mixer is due to take place soon, and I assure you, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise when it happens.
Let the good times roll!
Sincerely,
Leonard

She's still Tricia, I'm still Leonard (besides the unmentionable monikers we like to give ourselves!), but the fact that we've been friends for years - and fiends on occasion - makes it feel less husband-and-wife and more quilt-hogging bedfellows. I guess it'll finally sink in when we start behaving like the 'smug marrieds' out of Bridget Jones's Diary.

Finally, I think I'll know what I'm drinking when i have my next whiskey. Only hope it doesnt distract me from the company I am having.. I fear I might end up concentrating on my whiskey now.. gonna find me saying.. peat, wood, thick, thin, fruity rather than gorgeous, ravishing, beautiful, sexy, etc. Keep it up man!
