Can't smoke inside my place so it's starting to get pretty silly outside in the Northeast. I normally"quit" every Oct and normally take until the May before I start.

I'm spending about $500 a month on something that my dentist rags on me about and I know isn't good for me. I never smoked anything until I was 40 so I think I'm getting a free pass on the ill-effects but I know that's not true.

Wish me luck. I have vowed to target the money toward my WIS habit, or home theater habit, or my custom 45 habit. LOL.

Alrighty then... That explains it.. We smoke in Florida year round! My cigar habit it not nearly as expensive as yours though. My Father-In-Law left me quite the stash when he passed away. Now if I can just get my Wife to accept by expensive watch habit I'll be sitting pretty!

Good luck!

No worries there. Those are two names forever engraved into my brain....

a pair of Lucchese Ropers, one Guantanamera Cristales, a fine brandy to dip the end of the cigar in, a multi-colored tiled table to sit mountaintop, with a fine cushioned chair, and an unimpeded view of the blue green Mallorcan Mediterranean below

Ahh Bucky!!I lived in Scotland for a while and was really suprised to hear how popular buckfast is! I grew up in Devon and used to know the abbott of Buckfast abbey where they make it. I am pretty sure at the time he did not know why it was Popular in Scotland:cheers :
Scotland is one of my most favorite places in the world, will be over there soon for my honeymoon!

I admire your courage for stating that Leica cameras are for a child. But, I am guessing that perhaps, you haven't owned one, which is why such a statement.

Well, this is Rolex forum, film cameras are a different can of worms. If you have some time to spare, visit the Leica forum, and perhaps the Leicaphiles can enlighten you.

Cheers.

Louie,

You are, of course, correct about Leica.

But if you really want to step up:


Hasselblad H3DII-39 SLR Digital Camera

Alright Lisa, fess up.... there's a bit more to this story, yes?

Maybe Rolex and Fender can team up for the Strato-Master/Tele-Master/Sub-Caster...

With both jubilee and oyster straps?
Rolex is maybe a little too 'establishment' for an angry rocker - I guess Clapton would buy a few.

For the wine: Cru classe Claret ('82s are drinking well)
For the guitar: a Rickenbacker 330.
For the pen: a bic of course.

My set of wheels: A bianchi 1885 with campagnolo groupset - a beauty - faster than a Porsche

[radman1]

More axes...Different styles



Taylor 912c (fingerstyle), Gibson Les Paul (blues & rock), Collings D2H (flatpicking)

Got the same roadster, an '05 model. You have good taste. The '05 came with the Campy Chorus, what year is your ride?

Thanks. Got it new last summer to replace a stolen Trek. It came fitted with 10sp Centaur groupset - which I actually prefer to Shimano's Ultegra. Sorry slightly -

It's done a 1000+ miles now and running perfectly. Once you go Bianchi there's no going back - like Rolex
