These look special- ‘ straight to the pool room’..

Fathers’ day coro, SEA ABR 16

Zone out with some favourite music, coffee or something stronger..

HDM EPI No. 2 -AME JUN 13 These are hitting a sweet spot for me now. Perfect flavour, perfect draw and perfect construction right to the end.. Hate the double band though. lol

Was in my 20’s in the 1980’s, not sure if it was just my youth, but if I could bottle the whole decade and have it on repeat, the world would be a better place for it. I miss that decade, many good memories. Things were more relaxed and without the mind clutter of today..

Finally found some quiet time in my day for some ‘me time’ Enjoying a Partagas Mille Fleur

Quintero Favorito, tighter draw than i’d like, but very tasty

Chilly Melbourne night, some Hanwood 10 year Tawny Port and a terrific Fonseca No 1- GOA JUL16. I love a Lonsdale ..

Cheers JohnS , and a belated Happy Birthday 🥳 to you.

In a nutshell, you’re free to do as you wish, as long as.. ‘I allow it and under my terms’ = fake freedom !!

2013 HDM EPI 2, paired with a Coopers Best Extra Stout, both shared, with my lovely wife. Great combination (all three..) EPI 2 just sublime!

Quintero Favorito, Always consistent, rarely disappoints

PSD No 4 -Goes very nice with a cloudy apple sweet Cider

That really is great news. It does feel like a small win. Not knowing how much permits would have cost or how restrictive they would have been on importing a box or two was becoming concerning. Have been stocking up recently with the view that it would probably have to go in too hard basket for me come July.. I reckon the gov probably thought the lucrative duty, taxes and GST we pay would dwindle significantly if enough oz hobbyists were going to ease up or stop totally. Decision to exempt was all about the gov continuing the very high $$ taxes we’re forced to pay imo..
