Yes, the reply struck me as something of a non sequitur too. I wasn’t saying they were good for you or anything (that would be a very stupid claim), rather that I enjoyed smoking them. They have a good flavour - although to be fair to BarnOwl, that’s a subjective opinion.
Oh, and a tip for anyone contemplating smoking a bidi (or beedie, or biri, or what have you): make sure you have something to drink with it. I find that they dry out my mouth.
