PARIS HILTON - HILTON SET TO STUN WITH NEW JEWELLED BIKE

Socialite-turned-actress PARIS HILTON has been given a custom-made $250,000 (GBP138,900) chopper encrusted with Swarovski crystals.

Mechanics at Beverly Hills Choppers unveiled their Paris Hilton Bike recently after Hilton made a passing comment that she wanted her own motorbike.

The jewelled bike features more than 100,000 Swarovski crystals and took six months to complete.

In addition to the crystals, which spell out the name `Paris' on the tank, the bike sports a custom pink paintwork.

Upon straddling the chopper for the first time, Hilton was presented with matching Swarovski crystal-covered riding shoes, helmet and a one-of-a-kind Beverly Hills Angels jacket.

Hotel heiress, fashion designer and socialite Paris Hilton has just been subpoenaed as a witness in a criminal case.

"She's not charged with anything," District Attorney's Spokeswoman Jane Robison said to media. "She just happens to be a witness."

The case involves burglary, robbery, kidnapping and carjacking charges against Darnell Riley, 28, who allegedly broke into porn creator Joe Francis' home and tried to kidnap him.

Paris Hilton's testimony is wanted as one of Riley's associates allegedly told her of Ridley's alleged involvement.

The subpoena was given to Paris Hilton at her Hollywood Hills home last week.

Paris Hilton "will comply with the law", but "I don't see what contribution, if any, she's going to be able to make in that case," said Elliot Mintz, the spokesman of Paris Hilton.

Being a witness in a criminal trial is surely going to be fun for Paris Hilton, as she had never done that before.

Slarty’s World - Puros Indios Viejo - The Current Favorite: "Puros Indios Viejo - The Current Favorite

The current favorite cigar is the Puros Indios Viejo Cigar. Viejo means Old or Aged. These fantastic smokes have been aged since 1998 and are very smooth. I particularly like the flavor, a nice balanced smoke."

Unbound: "Another tip from the pros at www.cheaphumidors.com Has this ever happened to you? You open your humidor to take out a cigar to enjoy and you notice the wrapper starts to unravel. This is a fairly common problem with cigars, though it does appear to happen less with the better premium made cigars. There are really two reasons why this occurs. The first is that the cigar has become dry and the second is that it was just wrapped improperly at the factory. For the former, you need to ensure that you are storing your cigars in a well maintained humidor. So many people throw their new cigars in a humidor and start smoking them the next day. I like to tell people to let them sit and age for a while, rotate your stock and let the new ones age while you smoke the older ones. This gives the wrappers a chance to humidify properly. If indeed the cigar still starts to unwrap be sure to make a note of which brands it is happening too. If a specific brand is causing problems, it could be a bad production run and I would suggest talking to your tobacco store to ask for some replacements. If the wrapper unwraps at the lit end, then you can either let it be, or remove the wrapper. If unwraping at the cut end occurs, try to moisten it with your tounge. Since the wrapper contains most of the flavor, really try your hardest to ensure your wrapper stays where it belongs."

Last Puff: Manifesto de Tobacco :: Cigar Reviews by a Half-Wit: "I remember lighting up a favored cigar on the front porch a few months ago, then sitting down to read some reviews in a hot-off-the-press Cigar publication that had landed in the mail that day. In one particular instance, the guest reviewer went on and on about all of these crazy flavors that he detected in the cigar such as currants, chocolate, nutmeg, pine, zinc, linoleum and whatever the hell else seemed to wander through his mind. He also mentioned how the flavors kept changing throughout the cigar.

Weirdo that I am, here are the thoughts that went through my head while reading his review:

* Is he eating a pie but he thinks it's a cigar?
* Is he a frustrated food critic?
* Is this cigar the equivalent of the gum Willy Wonka made that is like a 3-course meal?
* and finally- Am I supposed to taste all of this but my palate is too ignorant?

To be honest, I went through a little palate envy for a moment... but only for a moment. My self-esteem rebounded after the momentary dip and I decided that this guy was just plain full of shit."


-- I hear you man, to say that a cigar tastes like any kind of food that you can crock up because there aren't that many adjectives that are suited to describe the taste of a cigar -- is a bunch of shit.
I particularly HATE the expression "Notes of nutmeg" etc. -- Bob

Committed Stogers -- Twenty-Third Entry

Committed Stogers -- Twenty-Third Entry: "Check out the photo above: Anthony with a commanding Excal in jaw, working on his second ash and creating impressive clouds of thick cigar smoke like a pro. Only been smokin' stogs for little more than six months? Yeah right, or else this cigarman has quickly evolved to a total natural. You decide. Either way he looks like one hell of a badass with his 'respect me or die, sucker' bad boy. Recently when he's out and about he'll stop by a smoke shop or cigar store to size up its stogs or humidors, and, so far, has bought two cigars on his own. Sweet."

Last Puff: Camacho Maduro -- Cigar Reviews by a Half-Wit: "I swung by Selective Cigars yesterday to break in a new credit card that provides air miles with every purchase (I love that I can now buy cigars and feel really shrewd about it)! I walked through the humidor and chose 4 different brands that I have been wanting to try and the Camacho Maduro was among them.

I chose the Rothschild size (5', 50 gauge) for about $6.75, and clipped the end at the cigar store so I could light it up at work when I took my dinner break. Between my cigar, a banana, a cup of yogurt and a Diet Coke I had a well-balanced meal going on.

When I lit up, I immediately thought that this cigar should be called a Hector Camacho because it flat knocked me on my ass!"

Short Story: Harlem’s Humidor (353 words): "Harlem’s Humidor

It was raining in Harlem. The hot and notoriously oppressive New York humidity bowed momentarily to the baptism of cool healing rain. It fell in heavy drops against the office window of the 12-story building and trickled down the glass in chaotic currents before passing from view to the streets below.

It was nothing like Arkansas. No trees. No slow moving rivers. No shady afternoons with friends on porches sipping pleasure from the rounded lip of a shared mason jar.

It was New York."

Slarty’s World Blog Archive - La Flor De Cano: "Tonight, I smoked a Cuban cigar, La Flor De Cano. It was given to me by a friend who is both a priest and a prime-time partier.

This cigar was OK by me. It was mild and did not really leave me satisfied. It could have been my mood or it could be that it was not a great cigar. I rated it 5 out of 10. I have never had a Cuban cigar that I loved and don’t believe all the hype around them. Still, it is always nice to have a cigar and it is great to have a friend who gives you cigars!"

-- I love La Flor's - Bob
