I apologize for that mistake. I was deprived of sleep when I wrote that.

I desire an apartment on top of the skyscraper on Hong Kong Island.

Women

A better question is "would the paparazzi see it as a date if they saw to co-stars at a coffee shop together?"

Not only does the young lady have to worry about whether the person offering the invitation will see it as a date, they have to wonder who else will see them at the local coffee shop. If you have concerns about it being a date, invite friends who can back up whatever the real story is. I, however, do not drink coffee, because the finer things in life keep me awake far better than caffeine.

That is the fault of society as a whole.

Border Collie/Beagle mix.

Very intelligent animals, their language capacity is surprisingly high.

If you're an aviator, I suggest:


Why not own an aircraft that is not only a pleasurable, visceral experience to pilot. But also demonstrate your excellent taste in aviation design.

This. Though, if I was going to splash out on a fabulous instrument, I might just get an old harpsichord.

This gent appears to be drinking third-rate fruity liquor to play at being lower class. How very droll. I often imbibe swill whilst pretending to be a plebian prole myself.

Thanks darling for that gauche nonsequitur about you.
You might not give them cancer or anything, but you don't have to blow smoke at people to invoke their disapproval
And don't you dare say you could care less ablut others' approval, because if you are willing to alienate and offend the general populous, no matter how repulsive those kind may be, you are absolutely not a gentleman.

Been rolling my own for 2+ years now, smoke less(I buy a strong blend so I roll ~4 a day), have better flavor, spend less money, (Also roll pot joints), so I have become very proficient(done 3k+ rolls), I recommend using slow burning papers, and unbleached(for class), as those are thiner and as said burn slower, NO filters, those are for taking away the shittie flavor of regular cigs, a good tobacco deserves to be tasted bare,
ROLLING SUGGESTIONS FOR TOBACCO:
I'm a perfectionist, going for a conic shape and smoke in the narrow end, I usually do a ~6cm length cone, with a 1-2mm end(as narrow as posible in one end) and 7-10mm on the other, there are some good youtube videos about rolling conically you should see, also use the paper backwards(this requieres more experience), so when I wet the glue the amount of wasted paper wich is not holding togheter the joint, that usually ends up inside, stays outside of the joint so I can cut it, this improves the taste towards the end, since too much paper also damages the flavor.

Make some snus from fresh tobacco leaves.

Or buy some premade, It'd be nicer if it was made by you though.

It's stronger, less addictive and healthier than cigarettes.

Smoking sucks.

Lapsang Soushong is the most excellent blend, if you can get your rolex-encrusted paws on it. I typically add a dash of cream and perhaps grenadine whilst slowly drawing from a Romeo y Julieta cuban. Perfect with Sinatra, a suit, and a lady that you are trying to woo.

Surely you jest.

Anyway, to answer OP's question, the perfect cup of tea is a fine Assam brewed in 90~95C water for 1:15~1:30, then mostly strained with the last bit of tea discarded.

The idea is to not ruin the tea with excessive tannins (the substance that causes the bitter dryness you feel when you eat an unripened persimon). Brewing for too long or at too high a tempurature will produce that tannin. Excessive pressure will also squeeze out tannin acid, so the last bit of tea in the pot will have a lot of it.

If you do it right, you will get the fine tea flavor without the bitter tannic feeling. If you do it perfectly with good Assam leaves, your tea will taste faintly of honey all on its own.

I agree with the milk first idea. You definitely end up with more of a tea flavour than the slightly tangy boiled milk flavour you get if you put hot water straight onto the milk.

The reason milk-in-second has become a generally accepted way of doing things (despite it producing an inferior brew) is because people tend to brew the tea in the mug rather than in a teapot, the proper way.

Obviously enough then, putting milk in before hot water would mean a tea-bag soaked in cold milk which is a massive no no.

I do mine in a teapot, three minutes, milk in first. Comes out lovely.
