Dear me, I haven't written anything for a very long time. Today is the last day of April. I must write something.
At first, I spent a whole night for renewing the databaset of All about tobaccoes. I've only inserted the images and tar, nicotine values thus far, but this time I tried to report the dates of issue as far as possible and some notes about "American Blend", "charcoal" etc.
I suffered hardships to investigate the dates of issue of more than 200 tobaccoes, well, I couldn't find all of them, but I made some new discoveries during my matter of inquiry.
I believed Philip Morris was a company of US but it was originally that of UK and PM established a company at New York in 1902 and the first "Marlboro" was produced in the same year.
My friend sent me a lot of cigars for me. I received them a week ago but too busy to open it and did not notice they were cigars. He sent I 9 boxes(!) of "Swisher Sweet King", 850Yen per box.
I think he liked it very much. A very reasonable drycigar, sweet but not luscious.
