I stopped smoking almost two years ago (28th Jan 2013), and decided to have a cigarette a few days ago. I always enjoyed smoking, and hoped that I could crack the habit and then just enjoy an occasional smoke once in a blue moon.

So, I bought ten Embassy and lit one up.

It was frikkin vile - so bad I binned it after a few drags.

There goes my dream of the occasional casual ciggie.

I haven't had a cigar since Feb 1st 2013 and this is the reason I can't have another one. As it stands, I've always got the option to have one if I want to, but if I did and it tasted horrible, cigars would be dead to me forever, and that would be very sad.

In other news, wow, these painkillers are really messing my head up. To use the norther vernacular "Feeling proper woozy, me."

are you allowed to drink on them?

Would 35% beer do? we've only got Jura otherwise

35% beer? Gawd knows... it's that long since I've actually had a pint, I really couldn't tell you. This sounds like an experiment in the making!

Edit to add: Or what saspro said! lol
