I've seen that pop up several times over the past week or so.Quote:

I'm having so much trouble staying connected on this forum, mainly getting error messages every time I post. I have reboot the page, sometimes several times, before I can do anything. Hopefully, this will get fixed, but in the meantime, I'm going to take forum break, and perhaps the problem will be solved by the time I return.
This thread is now up to 600 pages!
Smoking Solani 656 Aged Burley Flake as I ponder that milestone.
Smoking a fill of Escudo in my reliable Kirsten. Then off to Lorna's Italian Kitchen for lunch: Italian sausage with roasted peppers, and a chopped antipasto salad. And a bottle of Moretti. Life is good!
Edit: Sure wish I knew where to buy a green felt fedora like the one worn by the guy pictured on the bottle of Moretti beer.

2015 Gawith Hoggarth Louisiana Flake in a 1982 James Upshall bX, triangle shanked saddle billiard with a gold band.
The way I'm smoking this tobacco you'd think that it's all I have. The tobacco was quite dry and it smoked with less distinction and hotter, I just prefer it on the moist side.
Hope that you had as beautiful a day as we had here in South Eastern NY.
