My Indian friends in my old homeland got me into smoking Ganesh beedis. I smoked them occasionally when I first moved to New York but often had bouncers at bars and clubs make me put it out due to the aroma and appearance of them, which strongly resembles less legal smoking alternatives.

It’s interview time! Everyone…say a prayer, light a candle, cross your fingers and toes, sacrifice a chicken, – oh wait, sorry chicken, nix the last part! Wish me luck and a salaried future 🙂

“Does anyone smoke kretek (clove) cigarettes??? Come on, there’s gotta be some lame hipster out there who does.”

What a coincidence! I’ve smoked them before, but they aren’t my normal brand (camel lights what!)

A pack of Djarum Blacks is nice every once and again – but if i’m going to drop 13 bucks on cigarettes I like some plain old Nat Shermans better.

Supposedly cloves are worse for you then regular cigarettes. It has the same amount of the bad stuff as a full strength cigarette – and it’s rolled tighter with the clove stuff – so it burns alot slower and you get more tar.

All I can say is I’m sure glad I got outta there! I feel for ya Biff!

Just when I thought going to work at the Death Star couldn’t be any more exciting. Tomorrow should be fun.
