CIGARS INTERNATIONAL-Weekly Special-mail magazine has arrived.
I haven't enjoned "Aristoff Black" yet and Robusto/Corona are$29.99per box,Cigaritos is $14.99.
Actually, I'm just reading them and did not buy anything I've made a new folder "Cigar" and only a large amount of backnumbers are kept...
It's free to read and you can sign up from http://www.cigarsinternational.com/. If you'd look inside the website, premium cigars "COHIBA", "MONTECRISTO" etc. are vailable in boxes.
A staff from Komone came around 13pm as I've broke my leg. Well, a few years ago, I've bought a small lot of former USSR at Sandafayre auction and found a cover with a letter inside the cover was left. 2 Aug. 1991, Lithuania to Croatia. The outset was only a communication between collectors but the sender was following the situation of his friend's country...it says Lithuanians are 100% with You!
When PRO China issued 2000-22J, everybody was paying attention to 3312A, the sheet of 12 which were sold in 2,500Yen,
but I thought the normal full sheet of 42 stamps sold at less than 1,000Yen may rise in price and have some duplicates.
I haven't checked the marked price as I do not have a plan to sell them... 130Yen ATM I bought in face value jumped to 2,000 to 2,600Yen.
As for the Hakoniwa R.A. netgame, I'm going to afforestat hex12:10 to protect 13:10, 14:9 and 14:11. Population: 231,600 Farmhouses:66,000 Factories: 243,000 unemployed: -35.58%
Accordingly, 66,000 of the whole population work at farm houses and 165,600 work at factories so I can earn 1,656,000,000Yen per turn. What I smoked today
26 Sep. 2006 was the date of issue of Lark SUPER MENTHOL(MENTHODELIC FLAVOR).
As I'm checking all of the newly-issued tobaccoes recently, the clerk asked I "Was there any new cigarette that really suited to your taste?" and I answered
"None at all" ...we burst our sides with laughing together
The fonts of "LARK" changed. previous
new
As it was after 11am when the cartons arrived at my local tobacco store, I nearly failed to get a cancellation of 26 Sep am(8-12).
Can I call it an FDC of tobacco? or use such materials for open class exhibition.. As for the Hakoniwa R.A. netgame, I finished the afforestation of hex12:11 to protect the only power plant I possess at 11:11
Accordingly, 56,000 of the whole population work at farm houses and 136,300 work at factories so I can earn 1,363,000,000Yen-7%tax per turn. What I smoked today Cigarette Lark SUPER MENTHOL: 0.5cig.(it did not suit to my taste)
I became acquainted with a professional cartoonist who knows a lot about semi-postal(Air Mail Stamps) stamps of Japan(I still don't understand perfectly about the rarity of the stamp below...)
and he told I that he had designed a Scenic Cancellation. I immediately ordered 3 to that post office.
I'm going to ask for a signature on them when 3 cancelled postcards arrived.
I've met Hiziri Yuki, drawing Locke the Superman,
received mails from Hiroki Mafuyu the godlike artist for I and Mari Koizuni, Takashi Sano, etc.
BTW, my local post office was alive with a lot of customers and I had to wait till No.31. I also received 2 mails from my friend sent by Poste Restante and they were Frame-stamps and the new Scenic Cancellation of Yabutsuka-Honmachi post office. I was killing time reading his letters. A cover of Frame-stamp.
A postcard of Yabutsuka, this Scenic cancellation became available from Aug. 2006.
I woke up around 8am, logged in to mixi, became drowsy and it was after 20pm when I woke up... Hakoniwa Shoto today. In the morning 24 population:168,500 farmers: 52,000 More than 20% of the whole population is working at farmhouses so I can export 200,000tons to earn 2,,000,000Yen and build a second missile installation at hex 11:12.
Then I slept for 8 hours and missile installation at 11:12, level the ground of 12:13, enlarge the farmhouse at 9:8 completed. This is the image of 20:00pm Sunday.
population: 174,000 farmhouse: 54,000 factory: 243,000 I'm going to enlarge the farmhouse at hex 7:10. export 2,000,00tons to earn 20,000,000,000Yen, recover land form the sea at 12:9. I cannot oversleep tomorrow as it is the first day of LARK MENTHODECLIC FLAVOR on the market. I have to goto my local tobacco store at least before 18pm and make a receipt of the first day of issue What I smoked today Cigarette hi-lite: 1
My friend smoker(she loves SevenStars) to whom I recommended "COHIBA CIGARETTE" told I that she bought a carton but did not suit to her taste. She wrote to my bbs that she will transfer to other smokers and I drew my 3,000Yen from my bank and waited for a reply. (390Yen per box+postage120Yen to 200Yen)
A few days later, dear me!, she sent I an apologise mail that her friend liked it very much and became impossible to transfer...
Well, well...how shall I spend this excessive 3,000Yen? I decided to make an new P-stamp. I think it's not very interesting using a photo of my face and going to use the oil painting I painted.
Cubism? Actually, I cannot understand Surrealisme. I've read Andre Breton over and over but still don't know what it is...
I chose the template F-2.
BTW, please enjoy the most famous and delicous Havana Premium Cigar of COHIBA!,
but note that if a very beginner chose COHIBA, someone may look at you through coloured glasses "The only sportscar U know is Ferrari". This is the jpeg I scanned before July 2005, the date when all of the tobaccoes sold in Japan were soiled by 30% caution.
One of my friends is also collecting the old images of cigarettes and he calls is "Noah's ark tobacco version". Another friend of mine is very versed in making original silver accessories. I visited the site he introduced I and received a mail magazine. Mine.
I'm too awkward, even cannot build and paint Plamodels(plastic models)... I'm looking for someone who will make this
Sukhoi Su-30KI/Hasegawa Hobby Kits,1/72.
I can spend 1,200Yen per sheet x 2+postage 350Yen+charge 100Yen=2,850Yen total. What I smoked today
Hand-rolled cigarette RED BULL:1
Pipe Private Club: 1B
Take It Easy!: 1B
I smoked quite a little as I woke up after pm13:00... Tobacco industry will hate such a stingy smoker but I have the right to decide how many grams to smoke in 1 day! In Japan, age 20 or older have a right to smoke but there is also a right to moderate or quit smoking, am I right?
Technorati Profile *I think the above link is something to do and reflects to what's called "PING". I still don't understand Ping. Please click the link if you feel my blog is interesting.
I came to know what's called "PING" and claimed my blog to Technorati. What a wide world! The ranking of my blog is 1,139,599, cannot compare with 35-20 of Blog Ranking Japan domestic...
I've already added 6 favourite blogs to my bookmark but when I entered the keyword "philately", enormous blogs appeared in my homepage(I did not input "stamp" as it will hit rubbers etc.). What I smoked today Cigarette echo:1
I'll let the next turn as raising fonds(I can earn 1,000,000,000Yen per turn) and the present foodstuff 33,400tons + 50,000 working farmers is going to produce 50,000tons, but the 57,200 population consume 11,400tons so 72,000tons will be left. At the second turn, I'll export 90,000tons foodstuff and earn 9,000,000,000Yen. The turn does not advance when exporting foodstuff so I can finally build a factory using 10,000,000,000Yen.
30,000 people can work at 1 factory and if 1,000 people work I can earn 100,000,000Yen. Labour is going to be dispatched at farmhouses preferentially so 50,000 will work at farmhouses and 7,200 will word at the factory. Accordingly, I will have an 720,000,000Yen fixed income per turn. Building a factory costed so lot but the population increases automatically(there are some indeterminacy such as conflagration, typhoon etc. that happens in 0.5 to 1.5%probability) so if the unemployed % is 0, I can earn 3,000,000,000Yen per turn so I can get my money's worth within 4 turns. That's it!
My own island was destroyed because of the lack of foodstuffs and I started again a new island.
The epitome is as follows. Foodstuff: consumed 100tons per 500population So at least 20% of the whole population have to work at farmhouses. If 100 population worked at a farmhouse, I can earn 100tons foodstuff/turn.
If 100 population worked at a workshop, I can earn 100,000,000Yen/turn.
100 to 2,900 people live in a "village" If the population exceeded 3,00, it raises to a "town". 3,000 to 9,900 people live in a "town". If the population exceeded 10,000, it raises to a "city" 10,000 to 20,000 live in a "city" Koie Stamp today.
Since my friend invited I to mixi SNS, I've been too lazy busy to update my blog everyday. I started playing one of the famous netgames Hakoniwa(miniature garden) Shoto(islands) that a player develops his/her own island infrecuency 1turn/6hours. I made a big mistake in the first turn, recovering land from sea that costs too much. I should have run a farm in the very beginning and the whole population in my island is starving... This great one is the island of the person in the first place,
and this cheap one is mine...
Then I wasted time adding excessiv @ to my e-mail address to prevent spams.

I've just finished arranging and sending my "Skull on stamps" collection to GREEN TRIBE. My album will arrive on 11 Sep. and the exhibition begins from 13 Sep.
I was planning to make my next P-stamps and Flame stamps and was wondering which picture to use. I have a lot which I drew by myself. I picked up 2 oil paintings,
but as the colour do not come out very accurately, I adopted my monochrome illustration of headphones.
There is going to be a display of part of my Skull on stamps collection at GREEN TRIBE and was asked they want to display the actual collections of mine. I thought for a while and decided to lent my collection, but some of the expensive stamps and covers in colour photocopies.
Howcome, I had a little chat about "matches" with my friend at mixi SNS so I'll write about the history of matches.
The origin of matches can go back to the 17th century of England but the epochmaking discovery which came to the invention of matches was that "phosphor ignites if rubbed",1816 France, Francois de Rhone. In 1817, a forerunner of strike-matches was made in France with "phosphorous which ignite when exposed to the air".
In 1827, finally, John Walker of England invented the first strike-match from antimony, starchiness and gum arabic.
Matches can be classified in "strike-match(just like ones you see in western films) and "safety-match", moreover, "cigar-match" with low phosphorus which does not spoil the flavour of cigars. Safety-match was first invented in Sweden, 1878.
The advent of so-called "100Yen lighter" was the end of 1976.
Matches were first introduced in Japan during the Meiji era. From Taisho era, "Made in Japan" logo were printed on match labels and many designs which will be delighted as exportable goods appeared. Especially, cow, elephant and fancy animals were close the the myths and faith of China-India-Tai area.
I've just finished sending copies of All Japan Philately Vol.522 to my friends and family. I had put 60Yen stamps to each envelope already(3rd class mails up to 50grams are 60Yen) but I was told that the weight is 55grams and needed 8Yen extra for each mail.
