Re: Distilled Water
I've put up with this type of post for the last time. Sorry this may sound harsh ... but you obviously don't know your distilled water from your tetrahydrofuran.
It is simply ridiculous to think that you can buy QUALITY distilled water at your local Giant Eagle store. That stuff is stored no doubt in POLYETHYLENE. Thats the first cousin of a polyester leisure suit. Even polyethyleneterephthalate has so many obvious similarities to the monstrosity worn by Travolta in Saturday Night Fever that it sends convulsive shudders up my spine to even think of allowing pure, distilled water to touch its surface.
Oh sure, you can buy odorless and tasteless plonk there and hope that you don't go blind drinking it .... or that your cigars shrivel up and move to Miami when humidified by this inferior libation .... but if you REALLY want to take care of your thirst and your cigars, you'll heed my advice, young man.
Water should be hand distilled and carefully dionized using OSHA approved resins. A flow path surface area of at minumum 300,000 cm2/m is A MUST. I don't know how many times amatures of water purification make this critical mistake. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T IGNORE THE ACTIVE CARBON FILTRATION. A final active carbon polishing truly brings out the velvety texture of a fine H2O.
My favorite distilled water is from Chateau La Tour de Morans 1961. I prefer the water in magnums rather than 75 cl bottles as I feel it has aged better. GLASS .... GLASS DANG IT ... no frickin plastic. I don't know how many shares in Giant Eagle stores you have, but this biased review of yours should be grounds for your receiving a 30 day suspension.
To drink inferior water or to use the swill available at your ... your ... Eagle store is simply preposterous.
