First, smoke on and off for a few years, but quit cold turkey in 2001 because of a debilitating smoke allergy. Get stuffy and scratchy-eyed at clubs and shows for a year and a half or so, then slowly begin to get over the allergy.

Go to a Skinny Puppy show in 2004 and smell clove smoke somewhere in the crowd. Become overwhelmed with desire. (Okay, that was mostly Ogre's abs, but the clove smelled good.)

Buy a pack of Sampoerna milds the next day as an experiment. Smoke one. Do not get stuffy or scratchy-eyed. Find the smell of smoke lingering on your hands something other than foul and loathsome. (I still find the smell of Steven's Marlboro lights pretty damn nasty.)

Sadly, a box of Sampoerna's is $4.00 now, as opposed to the $3.25 it was when last I bought one. I only ever smoked cloves, because they're too expensive and too kick-your-ass to make a real habit of. A pack a month is about my speed.

And finally, quit blogging your silly vices and get back to those revisions.

They are the best. They taste and smell very good. They are also much stronger than normal cigarettes--hence I have milds.

I started smoking (cloves) about a month ago. It finally caught up to me this week, my throat started to get all scratchy and gross. Time to stop, I guess. :-)

Yeah, it's only fun for so long. My body takes a dim view of silly addictions.
