Was all geared to visit those guys today... but a mate mentioned the was a shop at Mungavin and so I went there yesterday. Knowledgeable guy who brought me up to speed really quickly... and so he reaped the rewards, much to his surprise, when I left with his most expensive model.

Am I still classed as a smoker? ha!

Jack the tobacconist on Mungavin? Used to be called Discount Cigarettes or such like but that was deemed illegal in the last round of tobacco law reform.

Jack's a real G.C and as mad as a meataxe when riding a Harley.

Yeah that's the fulla. Discount Supplies I think he is now. As ya say, G.C! so much so I sent a mate down there later to grab his vaping gear even though it was a few bucks more expensive than elsewhere. Service with a smile and much more of a conversation than initially expected

It's not every day you strike someone as passionate about their business and its products as Jack is. Is he still smoking behind the counter?

That's a damned fine description. He wasn't smoking when I was there. Will likely go down again over the next couple of days and have a chat about oils as my tobacco tastes like Shreddies... and whilst I really really like Shreddies, a little variety doesn't hurt. At least I know where to go be pointed in the right direction.
