How come the article doesn't name the smoking ban? I'm pretty sure many people will stay away from pubs if they can't smoke.

Not really. Obviously, you shouldn't give them a call, but they provide this kind of information online these days. If I have the choice between paying a 30% premium on my tobacco in the form of taxes or risk losing a package I gladly pay the premium. Sadly, my retarded government doesn't give...

Wow, RB-5. Those results are quite huge. Shortly after you did I made a similar change. Started running (also about 4 times a week) and taking long bike rides whenever I could. I also replaced two liters of Cola a day with water and dropped snacks and unhealthy stuff from my diet. A pretty huge...

It depends. Usually, I start with half a bowl or less for the first handful of smokes, but sometimes I fill it all the way to the top too. I do think starting slowly is the most reliable option, though. As to tobacco, sometimes I break it in with the tobacco I intend to smoke in it (as I...

I'll reply in a PM. Some topics are better discussed privately, as evil custom officers might one day learn about the existence of something called the internet and anything you publish on the web tends to stick around forever.

I thought it was intentional. In that case I do recognize myself in what you're saying, because the same goes for me. I try a lot of different blends and you can't really smoke everything at once, so there are always a few untried tins that go unopened for a while. I wouldn't say I forgot about...

I try anything I can get my hands on and age extra tins of what I enjoy. If I'm particularly excited about a blend I order tins for the cellar before even trying it. Aging is really not a requirement for enjoyment and I think it is more interesting if you can compare the aged experience with a...

I'm sorry, Piet. I lost my own dog a few months ago and still miss her at the weirdest moments. It is a strange feeling coming up the lawn without that old girl greeting me enthusiastically. Losing a loyal friend, even if it is a furry one, is incredibly sad.

Yes, it is a rough, broken flake that is somewhat torn up. It is warm and smooth. Unlike Westminster, it doesn't have that nice, but pungent Latakia body. The roles of the Latakia and Perique are moderate in a way that is reminiscent of the subtlety of Chelsea Morning. Compared to CM, however...

Yes, they were very impressive. I also liked Battlestar Galactica.

Congratulations. Makes me want to hop on a plane to Afrika to see it with my own eyes.

http://www.vfp62.com/SR-71.html That is a great read I came across on a startups and programming related website called Hacker News.

Yes, that is something with similar functionality to what I'm making (although for a slightly different purpose). Good pointer, thanks for that link!

I concur. Very happy with the service from 4noggins.com.

I love all kinds of cigars, but until yesterday I didn't really have a favorite. Now I do: Trinidad Reyes. That is a small Cuban, which is relatively mild, while still packing plenty of character.
