One of Bali's long awaited evenings of fine food, premium wines and cigars will return on Saturday, May 6, 2006 with Cigars Under the Stars VI on the naturally ventilated Asmara Terrace, adjacent to Davaat the Ritz Carlton Bali Resort & Spa.

As in the past, the emphasis will be on camaraderie, excellent wines, an outstanding menu and the very finest Cuban cigars. Guest arriving at 7:00 p.m. will be greeted by Dalmotte Brut Champagne and canapés on the terrace where master cigar roller Señor Gustavo Garcia Bello of Partagás will be producing and distributing Petite Caronas.

Well met, guests will then retreat to an extended and lavishly presented dining table for a memorable meal accompanied by premium wines and individually paired cigars.
