Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[Bunnykiller]

Cigars were my thing. It’s how I ended up smoking cigs. I started out on Balmoral. I think it was the Royal blend. Then I moved to Ashton Madura. To this day I struggle with cravings for one of those.

I moved to clove cigs because cigars were so expensive and took a lot of time to enjoy. Then I discovered Nat Sherman cigs, which were like cigars in cigarette form. Very dense and flavorful. Only on a bad day would I have more than half a pack a day. But I was good and hooked.

I became a devotee of HHV because it was always the dense, rich flavor I enjoyed. My current gear, coil and wattage mimick that old cigar experience as closely as I’ve gotten in vaping. Right down to the warmth of the vapor. Even my wide bore drip tip has a feel like the hole punch method I preferred for cutting my cigars.

And that’s all I should say about that because I’m starting to trigger myself into fierce craving for a cigar.

I had to look, I smoked cigars for around 14 years. Seeing them on a computer screen is okay, because you cant smell them, if I smelled them I would be in trouble.

You’re lucky. Seeing them triggers that smell memory for me. A downstairs neighbor goes on his balcony sometimes and has what smells like a pretty good cigar. That gets to me. All good lately though with windows closed and the AC on.

YOU young lady!!

Eek! Sir, yes, sir!

No worries. Temptation is like the birds. You can’t keep them from flying over your head. But you CAN keep them from building a nest in your hair.

I vape. Period.

Speaking of drinking...I found this St Bernardus Abt 12 It's the 4 pack which is a little pricey and I don't know how close it is to you. But the next time you go west you can pick up a few 750ml bottles to bring home.. (if you like it that is) Unless you can find it local. Looking at what they carry I'd shop there.. May need to check if there's a store like that in my area..

Hey cool! Thanks for this. I’m a member there and have tried some good beers from them. This isn’t the location where I usually go, but they can ship to a closer store. It’s a huge place, like a warehouse store. They have a great wine selection and is one of the few places I can get stout. Haven’t been there in a few months though.

It’s weird that the location finder you posted awhile back didn’t come up with Total Wine. I think that link was for St Bernardus. Maybe I’m confused. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Good Morning Army. Looks like Kat and DP are trying to explain free market principles on Ceyote's HHV thread. At this point, the coffee pot seems more important.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day

I watched a documentary on the 100+ “battle” of Coke vs Pepsi. One interesting point was from the late 20’s when Pepsi decided to double the size of their bottle to 12 oz, but still charge a nickel. Coke did not follow suit. Pepsi sold well at that price, particularly during the Depression.

As we learned from the Pepsi Challenge, people tended to prefer the flavor of Pepsi in blind taste tests. Even employees of Coke chose Pepsi when they did their own blind taste tests within the company. That’s when Coke changed their formula, launched New Coke — and that was a disaster. Back to Classic Coke they went.

And yet, to this day, Coke is #1 in sales.

I don’t drink soda anymore. And I work in marketing and design. But it’s kinda horrifying how dreams, wishes and desires are packaged and sold to us as part of a product.

The average person can be persuaded fairly easily. Many still believe everything in the news.
