Due to the cost of Cigars though, I'm looking at another options. I considered buying online and importing Cigars from O/S, which is very cheap however if Customs nabs them, they'll send you a bill along the lines of $450 per kg for the tax, which blows a $110 box of imported cigars up to almost standard Australian retail :/

Instead I'm looking at other options, I might even try a pipe .. at least it will be cheaper! Any pipe smokers out there on the GON community? er.. any tobacco pipe smokers? Haha.
You haven't quit, you've traded in the cigarettes for tobacco in other forms. You've cut back, that's all.

Actually, I have quit smoking cigarettes, there is a big difference between one or two cigars a month to 40+ cigarettes a day.

You'd be correct if I cut down cigarette smoking, but I haven't had a cigarette in 15 months or there abouts. You don't inhale cigar/pipe smoke, although it's still not the healthiest hobby it is something I enjoy on an infrequent basis.

Seriously, if "Mass Effect" isn't in the title it's referenced in the story, and if it isn't referenced in the story there's an image of it. Yes, we get it, Mass Effect is awesome! We just don't want a news report on it every 2nd day! 1 week! GON, I challenge you to go 1 week without a word being uttered, image being posted, video being displayed, or sound being linked about Mass Effect in a news article.

It'll be in one story tomorrow, I hope, pimping the weekend MP challenge.
And then another story next week announcing the results of the weekend challenge.

MWAHAHAHA :P

Should public hospitals introduce mandatory rectal temperature checks in an effort to reduce waiting lists?

Except is was like this for months before ME3 was even released, now it's just gotten worse :|

The amount of times I heard "Commander, there's a new message for you" when there wasn't made me want to end her myself. That said, I find the voice of her replacement less bearable. Remind me if I ever find myself in a position to have an assistant to fire them on the first day.

Took me 22 hours. Steam downloads can be painfully slow at times.
