    Sorry, But Some Are Asking About The Chipmunk

    Finally tried some Balkan

    Oh cute women with Scottish accents are right up there too LOL :) Thanks for the additional suggestions, living in Canada, I have to limit my orders to under 7 oz. in hopes of avoiding excessive duty charges. But researching and deciding is part of the fun.

    Finally tried some Balkan

    Although the pouch note was a bit off-putting at first due to my aromatic endeavors, I must say that I'm quite taken with Balkan and enjoy it in my Dr. Grabow Freehand estate along with a cup of coffee :). So much easier to pack and keep lit compared to the wetter aromatics (by golly you folks...

    Bring Back Smoking

    Much as I like my occasional drink and smoke, I'd have to disagree and IMHO the reason the west has advanced was due to basic beliefs in personal freedom.

Cute as the little buggers may seem, they also cause damage and carry fleas. A spring loaded rat trap will be the most...
