A low gate opens onto a ridge that throws the ocean into a wide, glittering arc. Guests gather on the grass as the western sky steels itself for color; the wind comes in like a presence, brushing the tobacco smoke and the conversation toward the sea. Richard, the host, sets out a curated selection of premium cigars and local spirits while the horizon pulls the day apart.
