Delurk and a question

I'm almost 50, don't smoke or drink, but there is nothing more soothing than a
4-6 shot espresso on ice, with toffee flavouring. YAYYY STARBUCKS!

Oh, and my fave pens are the Waterman LeMan 100 line, and the Parker Duofold
Centennials.

with ink as they approach age 30?

I was a pipe smoker for years. I started in New Haven with a Savinelli and a
1/2 lb of Cavendish mixture when I was 22. I finally gave up in Brooklyn on
January 1, 2003. Boy do I miss it! If you like pipe smoking and pens, you might
want to look into a Parker 21 as a knockabout pen. Its cap can double as a pipe
tool.

Since I have stop smoking, I have been looking for tobacco flavored coffee.

Forget it, Dik; you need chocolate-covered coffee beans.


Yes, but make sure it's dark, semi-sweet chocolate since milk ruins both
coffee and chocolate. ;0)

I know what you mean. The urges don't go away, do they? Now and then I still
have the urge to take a puff. The way I look at it - it feels great to take a
puff. But I'd feel a lot worse an hour later.

I smoked a pipe years ago, cigs did not attract at all though take a puff
now and again and at Uni I did inhale ;-)

Under three bowls a day is considered inconsequential from a health
standpoint, as long as you don't inhale.
