Halloween was a huge success!

Each year, I’ve noticed that trick or treaters have gotten a little older.  Last year I could see stubble through the face paint of Dracula as he excitedly took a few Jolly Ranchers from a bowl on my front porch.  There’s always a lot of candy left over though so I decided to throw in a little something for our more mature demographic.

“Sterling” is one of the most beloved cigarette brands of the UK 🇬🇧.  Sterling offers a smooth draw that that fills the lungs allowing a decent amount of nicotine to penetrate the blood stream providing the smoker with satiable joy.  And they don’t taste as bad as American cigarettes (I hear).

Last night I emptied out several packs of Sterling cigarettes into the candy bowl.  It was empty by the end of the night.  I also put in a couple dozen slips of paper with my email address on it asking for feed back.  So far I have only received one emailed stating, and I quote, “hakfnthdiekdnfhfjeksmdhfhvirkejdnfjjeodn”.  I can only assume that some one was so overcome with appreciation that they just had to say something, anything, to let me know that they enjoyed their English cigarette.

Just you wait Greg. In a couple years you can employ the smooth Russian beverage of Vodka.

There’s nothing like a good Russian vodka but Tito's is brewed not to far from home and is a fine American vodka.

I haven't doled out candy for several years. I live near an elementary school so all the kids come by, and all their friends, and all the kids who know the pickings are good around here. I and most of my neighbors would just sit on the front steps while the kids queued up at the end of the walk, waiting their turn. I started giving out large Hershey bars to the 100th kid, and the 200th kid, and the 300th kid. The last kid got a bag of Lindt Lindor truffles. My last year I had 354 kids. Too much for me. I now head to the hills and enjoy an evening with friends as their several grandkids come for candy.
It was fun while it lasted. I liked seeing the kids enjoying their costumes and having a good time out and about. Even the ones with stubble. But that was too many for me.

I'm glad I stopped by. I've been trying to think of Dan Duryea's name for two days now. I thought I saw him in an old movie I watched but I was mistaken. It was Louis Jean Heydt and they could be brothers, they look so much alike.

I'm glad people say things like this. Otherwise I'd never, ever catch on.

I caught it before but decided not to call it out (until now).

Next year, I may fill the bowl with Grizzly Wintergreen. Long cut of course.

Let me know if you’re ever around the Los Angeles area and I’ll give you a pack of these fresh, premium quality, authentic, European cigarettes. Guaranteed to be so smooth you won’t even feel it in your lungs.

remember kids, go to Gregg’s place for drugs
Avatar of Gregg-Turkington

No it’s “drags” not drugs.

Avatar of Gregg-Turkington

In the UK you must be 18 or older to purchase a pack of Sterling cigarettes but you can legally posses them if you are 16. The Gallaher Group operates with the utmost respect and integrity and would never (I repeat) never do anything illegal. One little puff and you’ll see what all the fuss is about. The aroma of the smoke alone is enough to convince any responsible smoker to give these English cigarettes a try.

That is wonderful news! I’m going to leave a few packs down by the fountain in Gloria Molina Grand Park in a little brown paper bag. There will be enough for the whole family! Check around the fountain this afternoon at 4:30 p.m..
