1 GUEST Kirsty Bertarelli Her new baby called Elusive Her fame was assured back in 2000 when her song Black Coffee performed by All Saints stayed at Number 1 in the UK charts for weeks. In recent years Mrs Bertarelli has lent her voice to numerous occasions most notably for private or charitable events such as the recording in 2008 of nine songs for the Smiling Children Foundation. Universal Music, always on the lookout for new talent fell under the spell of her warm voice producing the first album of the lovely A career in modelling, marriage to a powerful man, writer and performer, light brown hair, can all these similarities to France s First Lady be mere coincidences? Exceptionally kind and gentle, Kirsty Bertarelli is today enjoying a new pleasure; that of realising one of her fondest dreams; to be a singer. With the release of her first album Kirsty can finally indulge her long-time passion. Having won the Miss United Kingdom title in 1988 and reaching third place in the Miss World competition it is in the realms of writing and singing that Kirsty would rather be remembered. Kirsty s creations thus making her dreams come true. She wrote the lyrics inspired by her own emotions, finding a refrain or a melody quite by chance during the day; caught off guard it was thanks to the answering machines of her nearest and dearest that these tunes were immortalised when she didn t have her precious Dictaphone to hand.

2 She does not foresee great changes in the future, being happily married with healthy children, only a tour could tempt her away from her daily life but there is no rush at the moment. She would consider a duet with the Kings of Leon of whom she is a fan. Kirsty has put her heart and soul into this creation; Elusive is her promising debut album, pop rock with beautiful lyrics around subjects that are dear to her. It is important to live and believe in your dreams even if sometimes they seem hard to reach. You must never give up, you never know, in life anything can happen Kirsty Bertarelli

3 CIGARS Davidoff The Puro d Oro transcends Santa Domingo Hendrick Kelner Ten years after the launch of their Millen - nium Blend and twenty years after they began production on the island, Davidoff is innovating again with this family of four cigars 100% made in Santa Domingo. Impassioned expert Hendrik Kelner has discovered Yamasá. Every part of the Puro d Oro comes from Santa Domingo, the whole of the interior and the silky cape. We already knew the Jicomé region and its tobacco fields especially those in the Valle del Cibao where Davidoff s tobacco is grown. The new cape is cultivated in Jamasá to the south of the island, it was here that the seeds from the Criollo variety were planted starting in 2003 in a soil with an ideally low PH that gives the cigar its powerful aroma run through with hints of coffee and mixed spices. The rich red mineral-laden soil in Jamasá has been lending its goodness to tobacco seed since the first agricultural trials in Here the climate is stable and very humid, night and day and the localised cloud blocks the direct rays of the sun, this all helps with the maturation process and the plants grow easily. Now a trademark for Davidoff Yamasá is synonymous with a very subtle seedling, for the perfect wrapper leaf you need good elasticity combined with leaves that are sufficient

4 sizes. After seven generations of growing and trials, the seedling has yielded results; a dark rustic wrapper leaf, testament to a meticulous drying process of fermentation and storage that leads to the explosion of powerful, aromatic and evolved flavour. The Director of Davidoff in the Dominican Republic, Hendrik Kelner, an expert in tobacco is a true aficionado. In his experience it is all a question of dosage and expertise; he orchestrated successive harvests to get to the final optimal seedling. He had the PH of the land in Yamasá lowered even further through the addition of minerals during irrigation. The long after-taste of flavour in the mouth is due to the strong presence of calcium and magnesium, another indication of its quality is the consistency of its very nice white ashes. It is clear that Santa Domingo is on the up. The Puro d Oro family ranges from light to very strong according to preference and most re - nowned are the Notables, Sublimes, Magnificos and Deliciosos.

5 CIGARS Maison Cartier Magical inauguration in St Petersburg Bernard Fornas, CEO Cartier International & Demi Moore On the 22nd May 2010 after an absence of almost a century, Cartier opened its doors at 55 Moïka Quay within the walls of a special hotel entirely reorganised to accommodate it. The guests were amazed to discover this new boutique, a true showcase in the spirit of a modern palace, Bruno Moinard the architect in charge of the Cartier boutiques all over the world managed to show the spirit of the company with a monumental staircase that majestically serves the rooms dedicated to watches, accessories and jewellery. The 3,25m light fitting in gilded bronze is stunning and adds to the majesty of the place where classicism and extravagance are harmoniously combined in an intimate baroque setting. For the inauguration of their first boutique in St Petersburg, Cartier lit up the banks of the Neva with the presence of Demi Moore. Adorned with diamond and emerald earrings and bracelet, the American actress arrived on the banks of the Neva accompanied by Bernard Fornas, CEO of Cartier International and in a blaze of light from the cameras of the paparazzi. Together they welcomed around 300 guests in the presence of Prince and Princess Alexander of Yugoslavia. The evening continued at the Mikhailovsky Castle with a gala dinner preceded by a private concert conducted by maestro Valery Gergiev. The luxury and magic continued long into the night with fireworks and a cruise on the Neva where a boat had been chartered especially for the occasion. Nothing was too good to celebrate the return of Cartier to the Venice of the North. Cartier Boutique Nab. Reki Moyka 55 St Petersburg Tel: Boutique.stpetersburg@cartier.com

7 CIGARS Cuban fragrance Havana by Johann Sauty Through the lens of Genevan photographer Johann Sauty, Havana has an atmosphere of arousing languor, you just long to go there. Fascinated by Cuba, which he has been visiting for 4 years, Johann Sauty, Swiss photographer of Korean origin, plunges us into the non - chalant sensuality of the Caribbean island. In a series of ten strikingly powerful compositions; a decrepit colonial house, monument to past splendours, is contrasted with the sensuality of a vibrantly beautiful model. It is with a game of mirrors with which he sets the timeless elegance of the couture clothing by Arasa Morelli against the beauty of the ruin. The photographs presented last April in an avantpremiere in a stylists showroom, transported us to the enchanting tropical humidity of Havana to celebrate its golden age in images.

8 CIGARS Three years of research: La Couronne Seleccion Privada Rich and pungent, this range from Alexis Aazam Z is ready to be unleashed from its stylish black and gold box. The Magnum A, AA and AAA are wrapped in a Maduro robe, its silky band titillating the palates of aficionados. Fermented five times with a pestle by a master blender from the Dominican Republic, the hand-picked tobacco is carefully matured before being taken up and moulded by expert careful hands. Created from a subtle assembly of carefully sorted plants, all originating in Cuba, they take on an exceptional tonicity; for the core tobacco- Habano-Nicaragua, for the cape and under-cape Habano-Ecuador Sun Grown. A taste of far-away travel where rare spices are combined with cocoa and sprinkled with notes of coffee. With an imposing, almost too exuberant diameter, these magnums from an expanding range can be enjoyed like an original chant, very close to the Cuban tone. Good blood never lies, made near Nyon by father and son master cigar makers; they will be exclusively produced in a limited quantity.
