    My first bowl!

    Yeah, I tried to smoke as slow and easy as I possibly could, and enjoyed the MacBaren First Choice very much About my beer in the US; I don´t export, I have enough trouble as it is keeping up with domestic demand, as well as exporting brings up various quality control issues that I don´t want...

    Greetings from Iceland

    :D Yeah, anti-smoking and anti-alcohol nazis are everywhere here. The "vice" taxes on alcohol and tobacco have gone up more than 50% in less than 2 years! The doctors prescription thing actually came up in Alþingi (parlement) recently in an effort to minimize availability to new smokers thus...
