Gentleman Jack – The Order Of A Gentleman

We all know this moment. It’s Saturday night and you’re going to a fancy bar and you feel like ordering something different. A drink still classy, not too girly. A gentleman’s choice. I personally like the classy ambiance of sitting in a dark bar, drinking my Gentleman Jack and Smoking a cigar. It’s just priceless to sit and have one of those long nights discussing about god and the universe. Location Kameha Grand Zürich Pictures by Anna Zesiger

Gentleman Jack

Found this amazing bottle, what could fit better on my Gentlemen’s Blog?
The whiskey itself comes up with a gently & light amber colour. 
The taste is a lovely balance of sweet orange, vanille and mint flavours.
A gentle farewell.
Gentleman Jack Sour
While your company is browsing the un-ending options of drinks, you can go for two very classy gentleman’s drinks. Simple & tasty at the same time.

Gentleman Jack Sour

Very tasty and pleasant mix of sour and sweet flavours.
5cl Gentleman Jack® Rare Tennesse Whiskey
2cl Fresh Lime Jus
2cl Maple Sirup
Cigar Lounge Zürich

Gentleman’s Agreement Manhattan

5cl Gentleman Jack® Rare Tennesse Whiskey
2cl Orange Liqueur
2cl Martini Dry
 
Another classy option combined with a whiskey is this a formidable drink, totally kicks you directly to New York into the society of this pulsating never sleeping city.

Finally, suiting up is like a religion for a true gentleman. I’m wearing a grey suit, this colour is never out of fashion and you always look very dapper in it. Ideally you combine grey with black, it’s my favourite choice. 
 
In order that everything fits ideally, you go for a black & strait tie, black shoes and a black belt.

Davidoff Schiff – An Evening To Remember

Davidoff Schiff – Introduction

After a sunny day in Zürich, full of glance and with a totally clear sky, I was on the way to the Davidoff event. The Davidoff Schiff floats over the lake since 2007. It’s a good chance to have a ride with a breath-taking view, enjoying Davidoff Cigars and delicious food.

During the early evening hours, the sun was still out on this wonderful spring day.

With a bit of dust over the water, and the violet & orange colours on the sky, it gives this whole event a very special ambiance. The sun was setting on the end of the horizon, and while you float over the water you can clearly feel how utterly perfect nature is.

The food was really yummy, they have started with a lovely served beef tartar and continued with more delicious courses.

The Davidoff Churchill Commander – Toro

A formidable commander, Winston Churchill brought his imposing personality to bear on the many forces and resources over which he governed. He was a colossus of a character in every sense of the word. Nothing reflects this facet of the man better than the Toro format. Carrying the largest ring gauge in the Winston Churchill range, it is a grand cigar, from the first spicy, leathery, woody notes through the creamy, sweet influences of the Mexican binder to the final triumphant mix of flavours, courtesy of the Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from Esteli and Condegas. This is a cigar which follows in the Great Man’s footsteps and commands your attention.

What more do you need than a beautiful sunset on the Zürichsee, with a cigar? Nothing.
I met very lovely people from the Davidoff team, and I’m truly looking forward to see them again.

The Maserati Ghibli SQ4 – From Dr. Jekyll To Mr. Hyde

With the Maserati Ghibli S Q4 they brought a new extraordinary car to the market. It competes directly against Audi A6, BMW 5 series and Mercedes E-class. I had the honor to test that fabulous car during a few days and it is my pleasure to tell you some details about it.

Ghibli is the Lybian name for the hot wind that waves through the sahara in the area of Tripolis. The stronger the wind is, the more sand and dust blows through this flat landscape. 
 
The genius producers of Maserati gave this car the right name. It is exactly like this harsh hot wind in the desert.

They come up with this beautiful 4-Door saloon, the lines of this car are making it sharp and sporty.
The SQ4 feels like a proper Maserati. It comes up with 410 hp and a brilliant four wheel drive. They gear switches within milliseconds, you can clearly feel that it was conceived together with Ferrari.

The great aspect on this car, you can drive it as Dr. Jekyll, the lovely and eminently respectable doctor. Or you push the sport button and it the Ghibli changes into Mr. Hyde, the scary and irascible friend of the doc, an unleashed loud and fearless Maserati… trust me you can hear it coming from very far away, exactly like the storm in the sahara.

The interior is delightful inside too, better and much less blingy than the Quattroporte. There’s frameless glass in the doors, handsome leather seats, and a Maserati clock in the middle of the dashboard.
 
The Ghibli comes up with sufficient space in the back seat. With it’s four wheel drive you can even use it to go skiing in the mountains.

The mighty Maserati SQ4 is defintely a good option for a gentleman. It’s powerful, elegant and the cost-benefit ratio is just ideal. You can buy this car with all the fancy options and a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 for under 100’000 Euro.

Even the details are carefully and well designed, that is a big plus and another bravo for this car.

Some ideas I’d improve…
 
The navigation system reminds me on an old & slow turtle. Besides on that I missed the lever on the right side of the steering wheel, it is a bit strange and requires time to get used to it.
 
But at the end of the day I can honestly say that I will consider to buy this car in the near future.
