Altria claims on their corporate website that there are no plans to change anything at Middleton but only time will tell. So true, that is why I picked up 3 more tubs of it today...just in case.   Justpipes The Duke Age : 49 Joined : 17 Dec 2007 Posts : 1713 Location : American by birth, Southern by the grace of God!

I here ya Storm! I calculated my stash and I have approximately 5 lbs. put back so far and I will be purchasing more every chance I get. Wife is starting to complain about all the Walnut tubs crowding her spare closet........ I told her that I was going to have to go through my other celler to make room for more. You can imagine the look on her face when I told her that. She just doesn't understand the probable consequences of a corporate buy out in the tobacco industry. _________________ Don't Tread On Me I ADAMANTLY RECOMMEND TRUE TOBACCO SATISFACTION!

Unfortunately, SheWhoSpeaksLoudly was home when the last shipment came in from JRs with 3 Walnut and 4 ERRd. Too much 'splainin' to do, and her ears are quite deaf to logic.   Stormcrow Joined : 01 Jan 2008 Posts : 103 Location : North Carolina Subject: Re: Ok, you asked for it!........John Middleton's WALNUT   Sat Jan 05, 2008 7:57 am Yes Bob, we men are unable to win a debate with women because we have a need to use logic and make sense.   lawdogspipes Joined : 25 Dec 2007 Posts : 26 Location : N.C.

I got it from, you guessed it, Justpipes! A mighty fine gentleman. Thank you sir! Anyway, I lit up a bowl and couldn't put it down! A fine smoke with lots of flavor and my wife even liked the way the smoke noted the room! That's always a bonus! A great smoke that I will have to add to my rotation. Thnaks again!

If it was as available as Carter Hall, or Prince Albert, it would get more action in my pipes. As I have to mail order almost all of my tobacco, I spend a bit more to get what I want...

Subject: Re: Ok, you asked for it!........John Middleton's WALNUT   Wed May 07, 2008 8:15 pm I'm new here; so I'm reading through this post and decide I have to try some Walnut - after all, it's only $14.50 on JRs website. There's a JR's shop 5 minutes from where I work in Southfield, MI. At the store it's $19.50. That's 34% more than the online price! Has it gone up that much since January?? Out of principle, I put it back.   vaperfavour Age : 35 Joined : 16 Mar 2008 Posts : 143 Location : tampa, florida Subject: Re: Ok, you asked for it!........John Middleton's WALNUT   Thu May 08, 2008 6:02 am NOW I HAVE TO TRY THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where do i get some?   Highstump Age : 56 Joined : 26 Apr 2008 Posts : 107 Location : Willamette Valley, Oregon Subject: Re: Ok, you asked for it!........John Middleton's WALNUT   Sat May 10, 2008 2:29 pm SopwithCamel wrote: The only reason I don't smoke Walnut more often is that I have to mail order it.

I have the same thing going on here. The only tobaccos of this sort (I like to refer to them as "codger burleys") that I can get locally are Prince Albert, Half & Half, and Carter Hall. Of those three PA and H&H are the only two I smoke. _________________ "The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced."
