Feliz Cinco de Mayo mis amigos fumadores de pipa! Just got back from our local El Rancho Grande for a fine lunch and just one frozen margarita, mind you, Back home for some more multi-culture indulgence, a ballsy British tobacco of renown, and one heady American porter that has absolutely...

I feel you, all my Meers have that problem. That is why I stopped buying them. Maybe I'll look into these replacements, good to know.
