A brand new A Rich Pour article...

I was fortunate enough to take a trip over to Scotland this autumn with a good friend. Needless to say, we each had a tremendous experience over there. My latest A Rich Pour column recounts the first two days of our time there. Please feel free to have a look at it on the Cigar Weekly Front Page.

Day One: Sunday September 27
It took far too long to set foot in Scotland. Yet there my good friend Ian and I stood one overcast September Sunday morning. We had just landed at Glasgow International Airport following a jet stream assisted overnight flight from Toronto, Canada. The clock in the arrivals concourse crawled past 5:30, and the expressions on our faces reflected fatigue and elation. A Customs agent pleasantly queried the nature of our visit, then wished us a good stay.
With nothing else to do until the car rental booth opened, we contented ourselves with coffees and sweets at the Starbucks concession, which remained all but empty. After hours of listening to the din of jet engines, mumblings of movie characters and conversations of fellow passengers, the quiet was appreciated if a little disconcerting.
Car details salted away and the road ahead finally in sight, the two of us embarked on our left lane adventure. We crossed Erskine Bridge three roundabouts later, made a turn onto the Great Western Road and drove toward Loch Lomond. Traffic was almost non-existent, and the sudden transition from Lowland suburbia to Highland countryside had our heads spinning in awe-struck fashion.
