Out of curiosity, What do you not like about them [MENTION=13431825]smokeyjoe[/MENTION] ?
The flavour. It wasn't to my taste. A bit like an autumn bonfire, bitter oak and wet grass smouldering. It did improve in the last 3rd but not enough to change my mind.
great night last night smoked a custom rolled pyramid from 2012 (mons) a party 898 from 2009 and a little HUHC 2013 to end the night oh and a fair few drams of whisky as well
Here's a shaggy dog story for those of you bored with Fri night TV. If you haven't time skip down below to the cigars! So yesterday I heeded some advice & went to the Dentist after another night?s lack of sleep. Even after meds & whisky, I was woken up just one hr later with the pain coming back. Checked NHS website & they mentioned some treatment for sensitive teeth so I went along to my Belgian Dentist. I have an appt in May but I need to be seen today, I have raging tooth pain & I am due to leave to sea on Monday, if I go in this state they'll be medivac'ing me off I & I'll be losing pay! Yes, I understand but you haven't got an appt & we are fully booked today. What during your lunch break? After 5 o?clock? I will wait all day but I need to be seen today! I sat down. I was going to kick up merry hell after 20yrs+ at this dental surgery & one of the very few times I have needed an urgent appointment. I was going to pull my family from this clinic if I wasn't seen. My wife needed an emergency appt from you some yrs ago & was told 3wks was the soonest they could manage, she went elsewhere & was seen in a few days. Digging in for a fight, it was something of an anti-climax when she said someone hadn't turned up & I could be seen, just 20mins later! She had a great problem trying to find the root of the problem (excuse the pun) she tapped all my teeth with her metal probe, no pain, She used hot & cold no pain. She wanted to do root canal work but couldn't decide which tooth to de-nerve! Luckily an x-ray solved that dilemma, a cavity was revealed under a filling, it wasn't sensitive teeth after all it but hidden caries, about to become an abscess! I'll have to drill the filling out now, it looks really bad', 'great go ahead' I said, This turning into a scene from the demented dentist in the Little Shop of Horrors as she carved away & slapped in a temp filling. The nerve had been so inflamed she expects it will take a week or so to calm down so keep taking the meds. Keeping a British stiff upper lip & frequent meds was just about coping with the problem but it wouldn't have cured it & left until next leave, it could have been a nightmare at sea. So today out at Antwerp station to wave off the wife. She?s visiting our daughter in London & after lunch I had my first LGC No4 of the yr & later after posting some important parcels, a RA NL Petit Ed. Was able to enjoy two excellent smokes on a lovely spring day; now the pain is nicely under control.
you drank a Leffe, That IS the shaggy dog story... :-P
Even worse : you had a Leffe in Belgium. or was that just to get rid of the grit from yer dentist appt before having a proper trappist LOL ;-)
