Somewhat on the short, thick side, with a dark wrapper, the smoke was medium to full bodied, rich and creamy. It drew clean ans smooth, kept me busy for a good 40 minutes.

When I complained, the chickie bartenderette said that she didn't know that there was a difference between club soda and tonic water. <BR/><BR/>IQ=bra sizePigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-52756554978942397142009-01-23T05:59:00.000-08:002009-01-23T05:59:00.000-08:00Hope yer luck turns soon mate.

They are everywhere, which means we will probably have to work with them. Sounds like you made a good move by ankling out of there early. Any bartender that can't make a classic drink should be shown the door. Really. What did you fire up from L.J. Perretti? If you came to Tokyo you would have to settle for Cuban.
