That was when they still sat on shelves in Ohio for $27 or so. I don't play these games :) I like WA107 pretty well, right up to about $30.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-63972701173878204362016-10-01T14:40:31.953-04:002016-10-01T14:40:31.953-04:00I think only of you when I've been drinking.I think only of you when I've been drinking.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-10900355497116211192016-09-30T15:16:12.654-04:002016-09-30T15:16:12.654-04:00You only think of me when you've been drinking...You only think of me when you've been drinking.Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-42010480984650743252016-09-30T15:15:01.364-04:002016-09-30T15:15:01.364-04:00Hmmm, I'm afraid it's an open secret.

However, it is too woody and this woody bitterness on the top of the tongue upsets the otherwise pleasant experience. I'll have to try the 107 instead. 75-79pts". Also, having tried Weller 107, I did like that a lot more ("cherry tobacco, 85pts").Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.com
