Love those Honest trailers! Sucks to be an Xbox gamer when it comes to a game like TLOU... Although you do have Halo..

Totally with you there, I was really dubious when my mate recommended this game to me - but have repeatedly been blown away by it. Weirdly when people ask me for movie recommendations now and I refer them to this game.

I've just finished my 3rd playthrough on this game on the remastered version on ps4 and am currently enjoying the awesome soundtrack to it over a very tasty HURR. Sorry to sound like a massive tlou fanboy, but this game is, without doubt, the best game I have ever played. The story is incredible and unlike anything I've seen in a game before. Keen to hear thoughts from anyone else on here who may have played it.

From my understanding, this news isn't announcement of a cure or vaccine, it's just an initiative that the Cuban government undertook to increase prenatal care and testing for pregnant women and their partners. As well as providing antiretroviral drugs, which dramatically reduces mother to child transmission of those diseases, they have made this achievement. Any country is capable of acheiving this when they do what Cuba did. Still, interesting news out of Cuba and good that it's actually endorsed by the WHO.

Had the 12 and the 20. Both were good, the 20 wasn't a whole lot better than the 12 IMO, but it was definitely different and both are quite unique rums. Apparently the xo insolent is amazing! Keen to try it for sure. I think its from Columbia.

Not sure if you're a fan of buffalo wings, but I often use gochujang in lieu of Frank's! This recipe inspired me for that: http://www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/gochujang-fried-chicken. Also, not sure if you're friend mentioned it, but bibimbap (a Korean rice dish) is pretty awesome and easy to make. There are countless recipes for it - they all use gochujang as a condiment or as a sauce to mix in. Bulgolgi is another Korean dish that is really simple and uses gochujang. It's basically just marinated steak that is bbq'd and served wrapped up in lettuce leaves with onions/veges and gochujang. I often use it in stir frys for heat and sweetness or in a marinade for meat or fish, but it's really very versatile once you get used to using it. You can thin it out with water or oil if you want to use it to dip cooked chicken/steak/vege's etc for a spicy/sweet/fermented kick.

Recently switched to a punch myself. Wish I did so sooner!

So very true!!

Really. I've only been smoking cigars over the last few years and have only ever really been on this forum (as well as one other highly inactive forum). Since I started with cigars, I generally haven't heard much good about the Reyes.

Trini Reyes as well. Never heard a good word. But am thoroughly them as a Sunday morning/afternoon cigar with a tea.

Nice haul there, I wasn't initially impressed with the Grand Epi, but I had one quite recently after a lengthy rest in the humidor and really really enjoyed it. Had a really creamy chocolate note that lasted throughout, I'm quite glad I grabbed a couple of boxes.

Never had the Amarone you are referring to, howver I couldn't agree with you more regarding Valpolicellas and particularly the Amarone's - so rich and distinct. Shame that here in Australia we have such a limited range to choose from in both. I also find the unique grape drying process used to make Amarone fascinating. When described to me I always thought that the end result would be cloying and sweet - but your description of them as (generally) being glyceral but not sweet hits the nail on the head.

You read my mind, I was contemplating pulling the trigger on some of these this morning!

no worries.
