    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    GMO can be doing something similar to selective breeding but it’s like an accelerated version of it since breeders don’t have to breed for generations to achieve a desired trait. But the end result is something that is still possible to arrive at through natural breeding. The problematic...

    Jim's SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto Review.

    I got 1 toro coming. I’m not expecting to love it and I am not expecting $14 worth of satisfaction from it. But I want it to work and if it does I’ll snag a box. I was underwhelmed with those Stilwell gars made from pipe tobacco. But I remain optimistic.

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    British garage music guy The Streets, who I assume is no longer popular but was among a certain crowd 20 years ago. Also Ralph Stanley II, a bluegrass guy who is on SiriusXM so I guess he has to be famous for bluegrass if that’s not an oxymoron . Went to a party at his house he throws every...

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    I forgot about the guy from ZZ Top. He was nice, humble, smiling. He sat next to us at the food pavilion before a concert in Philly. We didn’t know it was him and my friend was actually talking crap about how all their music sounds the same. Fortunately I was making a well-articulated...

    What Do You Do?

    That will be the hard part, lifestyle adjustment. I know I will have to reduce spending on frivolous stuff but I shouldn’t require so many distractions if I’m doing something that makes me truly content. Plus i already have purchased enough to ride out life with (tobacco, bikes, clothes...
