    Partners in Heritage — Aston Martin x Glenfiddich

    I take great satisfaction in seeing brands that I’ve independently enjoyed in some guise, work together. It’s a bit like when you introduce two friends from different friendship groups, and they actually get along. “Aston, meet my good friend Glen, I think you guys will get on”, and then whisper in Aston’s ear “and it’s…

    34 Mayfair x Ron Santiago de Cuba

    Tucked away between Grosvenor Square and Mount Street, 34 Mayfair is something of a modern classic. It was opened by Richard Caring in 2011 and offers that special brand of sophistication that favours graces over airs. The setting is elegant, the food is exceptional, the staff are on point but, crucially, it is a warm…

    Toscano — From Florence to the World

    When it comes to the finer things in life, a cigar has always been perceived as the go-to for that added touch of class. It’s a sign of discerning taste, of a person who knows what to enjoy in life. It could be to accompany a good drink or for rounding off memorable evenings with…

    Gulfstream — Design Takes Space

    As I walked through Mayfair and turned down the relative tranquillity of Sackville Street, I suddenly felt the inclination to switch-up, mentally. It was as if my mind thought I was heading to a meeting with hedge fund partners to discuss the condition of my portfolio. I guess in some ways that’s precisely why this…

    Re-Lived Nostalgia — The Virgin Hotel, Shoreditch

    I wouldn’t call myself an active participant in the Shoreditch night scene. That’s not a slight on the vibrancy of the area, but more an indication of the stage of life I’ve reached, preferring the comfort of secluded conversation over fanfare, nuanced by a quality-over-quantity bar line-up, while being shrouded in the blanket of aesthetically…

    SPECTRE BLACK BADGE — A Darker Shade of Elegance

    As the hype of electrification wanes in the faces of growing lifestyle realities, so my admiration grows for one of its most perfectly executed proponents. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against electrification at all, but rather the staunch all-encompassing polarising viewpoints that its arrival has birthed. For me the answer is quite simple…

    Cygnet 77

    Why do classical music and the natural world seem to chime so harmoniously together? Classical music is often thought of as sophisticated and refined – complicated. The way it is arranged may be so, but the way it connects is universal. It isn’t constrained by linguistic and evokes something far more primal; stimulating the base…

    Walking through the streets of Havana I was often greeted with the same question— “Cubano?”
