Let’s Talk about Two Friends
I used to smoke Two Friends ... and I don't remember anything about it. I also used to smoke Steve Books' blends, and I remember everything about them! I also remember smoking an aromatic coconut blend from "Smoke Rings and Things" in Hackensack NJ in 1969 ... so it's not about my memory :-)- jerry
