    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here goes. I have been watching the Brit series "Escape to the Country". I have visited the UK numerous times but really have done a crappy job of seeing a lot of the country so the show is my vicarious solution. In the kitchen of many...

    Rittenhouse hats

    On Line Cigar Stores

    I live in Canada where the tax regime on tobacco is usurious so I buy online. The cigars are shipped to a US post box and I bring back to Canada legally tax free after a holiday. It saves a ton of money. I buy a years supply and supplement them with Cubans if I can find a friend or...
