Health starts in the Mind and is supported by an educated Palate.
Smoke and Minds documents almost like a diary the joy of fine smoking - Cigar and Pipe smoking - as well as the pleasure and activity in the mind of a Fine-Smoker.
We come to a Cigar/Pipe Lounge to display and discuss our passionate ways of life.
