OK Many of my friends don't smoke cigars or any tobacco, rather. But they love good wine. So usually, I serve my friends in this orbital crystal decanter. The decanter leans to one side. It's made of lead-free brilliant crystal. It's pretty heavy, manufactured by Ravenscroft who is actually the world’s leading manufacturer of pure, clean, lead-free crystal for fine wine and spirits. The crystal is hand cut and it gleams when filled with wine or any other spirit.
I don't actually like a lot of guests over, because I am a private person. But I get into decorating a lot especially with my paintings and some of my collections. And I enjoy craft projects for my home. You would think I entertain a lot. But I like no more than a handful of people over at a time. Having a lot of guests could be taxing and you never really have the opportunity, to really enjoy your guests' stay, when you are hosting. So I may have one or two friends over at a time. And each time is "an experience". What I mean by "experience" is...I am very much into creating a great ambiance and space for my guests. It doesn't have to be over the top. But that's what I enjoy. I have an antique fountain that I enjoy running. It greets you when you walk through the front door, I love great music, lots of plants, paintings and art that has meaning ( not a bunch of pictures of stuff that means absolutely nothing) and so on.
People ask me quite a bit when I am going to have "something" at my house. And I simply inform them that they are welcome anytime! LOL. Now there is one exception. If they smoked cigars, then I would probably host a private gathering, a few times a year. But considering they do not, I'll let them have the honor of hosting those big functions. :)
