Something like aquarium adhesive would peel off when you wanted to remove it. Clear silicone adhesive, it stays flexible, but it's waterproof.

Don't know anything about cigarettes. I don't smoke, don't even know anyone that smokes.

Just got back from the Vintage Virginia wine festival, which was held at Sky Meadows park, a large clear area in the Blue Ridge mountains. The weather was just gorgeous. The wines were mostly so-so. Fifteen dollars a head, which includes a souvenir wine glass, and you can taste as much as you want. The wineries have tents, and open bottles, and pour about a tablespoon full of wine per taste. There are fifty wineries, each with several varieties of wine, so if you wanted to, you could drink quite a bit for your $15. But the wine really wasn't that good, for the most part. Some of the wine, it would have been a punishment to finish the sample, and I would go around the corner and pour it into a trash can. Most of it was ok. A few wines were pretty good, say a $24 bottle of Williamsberg Cabernet Reserve, which tasted about as good as a $12 bottle of California wine. I probably tasted 20 wines, maybe more. Two samples of the Williamsburg Cabernet Reserve, from different sides of the tent.

You could also buy food at booths, and there was music and crafts, so it was a fun thing to do on a sunny, cool Saturday afternoon, and I satisfied my curiosity about Virginia wine.
