:cigar:

Dennis Howard Marks was born on 13 August 1945 in Kenfig Hill, a small Welsh coal-mining village near Bridgend. Howard Marks attended Oxford University where he earned a degree in nuclear physics and post graduate qualifications in philosophy. Described by the Daily Mail (UK Tabloid) as 'the most sophisticated drugs baron of all time', Howard Marks has worked with the British Secret Service and has been connected with the Mafia, the IRA, MI6 and the CIA.

Busted in 1988 by the American Drug Enforcement Agency and sentenced to twenty-five years at America's toughest federal penitentiary; Terre Haute, Indiana. He was released on parole in 1995 after serving seven years. In 1996 he released his autobiography, Mr. Nice, which remains an international best seller in several languages and was the best selling non-fiction book of 1997.

In 1998 Mr Nice went around the world visiting some of his old haunts from his years as an international dope smuggler. This is a kind of travelogue with Howard seeing ganja fields in Jamaica, meeting Ben Dronkers and first naming the now-infamous G13/Mr Nice strain of cannabis, and revisiting an old home in Switzerland amongst others.
