I'm no longer so desperate that I have to pulverize flakes. I just moved to Winston-Salem, NC- the tobacco shop down the road sells an assortment of dry snuff. It's labeled as though it's an orally administered tobacco, but it is as finely ground as any I've seen and dry as a bone. Very, very...
This was an award given yearly out in England.
I don't know how many here are familiar with Stephen Fry, he too was the recipient of this coveted honor. He's an old Brit Wit, best friends with Hugh Laurie and I believe he's on the show Bones from time to time. Can't confirm that last one- not a...
Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard of Revor, and will have eyes out for that one as well as Three Nuns.
I'm aware that the idea of pure tobacco is nearly non-existent-
It happens to be the specific 'stain' left behind by cavendish and the blandness resulting from humectant-soaked weed that...
Thanks for the help guys. I imagined taxes on tobacco products over there must be through the roof.
Rusty: I hope I didn't make myself sound to picky. Irish plugs sound fantastic. Any you might recommend?
I just wanted to be specific about aromatics and blends containing cavendish. I can...

Thanks for the suggestions mates.

I too am a shameless Penzance junkie. That is the smoke that got me hooked on English blends.
I don't necessarily compare the taste of all English smokes to that of Penzance, but I do compare the feeling I get when I light them up for the first time.
I saw the earlier heads up about Mars, so I've been watching everyone else like a hawk waiting for some stock to come in. Hopefully there is a supply that can at the very least remain steady. Maybe even sink the price-gouging ship.
Wishful thinking... :roll:
The amount I picked up would...
:affraid: :affraid: :affraid:
Thank you for the heads up. I just checked P&C this morning and they had none.
I have not smoked the venerable Penzance in so long.
Now I've got a nice, several tins coming my way in the mail.
$50 a tin, any takers? :lol:
