2% of the world HA!

Probably 2% of the world has the PATIENCE to do it.

Doesn't seem terribly hard...did it in 15-20 minutes and I'm no whiz. Then again, one of my neighbors is into S&M, while another of my neighbors works as a policeman. The neighbor to my left wears a french maid outfit while washing his car.

Anyway...

I think Dunehill is supposed to be Dunhill, at the very least that's what I smoke; I've never heard of Dunehill.
