Happy 2017 from Vitola!

You know what surprised me? I’ve had this tiny little hobby blog for about two years and it’s already over had 5000 views. I wrote four articles or so last year. This means, I really want to produce more content – but it also means I need to produce higher quality content.

I’ve got a couple of #Cigar reviews in the pipeline, and I really want to write some pieces on La La Land, Born to be Blue and Miles Ahead. In fact, it’s been a very exciting few years for cinema and Jazz. However, I want to write better content (and just a little more of it!).

If you’ve been checking in on this blog from time to time – thanks. I really appreciate you taking a look. If you don’t follow me on other Social Media platforms, feel free to follow me on Twitter and Instagram.

Also, what Cigars have you been smoking of late? I’ve been smoking heaps of non Cuban cigars, and I was gifted an amazing bottle of 12 year old Dimple for my birthday. It’s a blended whiskey, and is very tasty. It’s not too smokey, but really exhibits some nice cinnamon and fruit flavours. The backend of the taste is quite strong, and I love it over ice.

What Jazz have you been listening to? I listened to heaps of Trad Jazz #Christmas stuff over the holidays (primarily Sinatra and Bing Crosby). A favourite of mine has to be Nat King Cole’s beautiful Christmas album. In fact, I should really write an article on one of his best songs – “What Is There More to Say?” – so look forward to that in the future.

Thanks again for your interest in my content – I wish you a really excellent 2017.
