Yeah, it does. But you're not going deep into your lungs. Yeah. And so the thing is about nicotine is what makes it highly addictive in cigarettes is the other chemicals that they add into cigarettes to make the increase of the uptake of the nicotine into the bloodstream. So that was that movie with Russell Crowe, The Insiders, was all about is how they'd worked all that out.

So I was thinking about this actually this morning. So I smoke cigars. I love cigars. I would have on average a couple of cigars a day, which is a lot of cigars. Most people might have one cigar a week kind of thing. I left home a week and a half ago. I haven't had a cigar, you know, like, and I hadn't even thought about it, you know?

So I, I really, really enjoy the experience, but I don't feel the need to want to have a cigar. So yeah, it's interesting. It's a very, very enjoyable pastime.

Yep. So I really, it started out as a, uh, well, it started out, uh, Initially, importing, wholesaling and distributing cigars. And I actually had a business partner at the time that I had in the early days. And I found that he wasn't my kind of guy and we didn't really know each other. Perhaps our values weren't quite aligned.

And we kind of split, and he took over the wholesale distribution at the time, and then I took over the retail side, which was in a tiny little cigar shop in a beautiful little alley called London Court in Perth. And... That shop is so small, I always joke that you have to go outside to change your mind, right? So it's this tiny little shop.

And then so really I started out that in 2002 as almost like a one-man band. And, you know, just learning, learning how to have team members, learning how to, you know, make sure that you've got the right cigars and teaching people and those sort of things. And that progressed. And eventually I put on some more team members. And I kind of worked out... Well, actually, I had a problem.

So first of all, I put on some team members and their sales were nowhere near what my sales were. They were just – I couldn't understand.
