Very nice....

If I didn't know better I'd say the bags in the picture might be questionable....

Not at all, well saying that my mothers face when she smelt the wet leaves certainly shows she doesn't appreciate good pu!

Cool! I bought the same package over here awhile back -- still haven't brought myself to crack the mini. I'm saving it for a special occasion.

I just picked up a bottle of Macallan 12. It's nothing special, but it's one of my favorites.

I was travelling thru Chicago this weekend and had the opportunity to stop at Iwan Ries. I snagged a great deal on a pipe and picked up a bag of their renown Three Star Blue.

I don't know much about this, but from what I could pick up from the Bosnian guys behind me in line at the "French pharmacy," this stuff will make your hair curly, your teeth pearly, and child-birthing a pleasure. Do any of you guys have any experience with Slivovitz (that you can discuss)?

I think it was something similar to that that made me lose 4 hours of my life at a summer solstice party once!

Slivovitz. I have experiance with this drink. It was only ever purchased to be a forefit drink in a drinking game. I can't believe it would be bought for pleasure.

How about this case of Westmalle Tripel that I acquired last saturday in Belgium??!! The beer was bottled on august 18th and even though I already drank three bottles from this case, it still needs to age for another month or two.
