    Please recommend a Burley blend to me

    I'm surprised there aren't more recommendations of Prince Albert. Carter Hall is good for a flavored burley. I like Classic Burley Kake another flavored blend. you have your OTC's..Granger, etc.

    Breaking In The Cob

    Chuck..ya gotta get yourself a MM Freehand,great smoker. Only drawback I've found is the shank may split. I had mine silver banded after re-glueing several times. Also if you get a new cob you can really enjoy that Walnut. I smoke it myself!!

    Robert Downey Jr. As Sherlock????

    Am watching it now for the umpteenth time. Taped it on VHS. Love the new adapttion of Holmes. If one reads the books it's very close action wise. particularly love the Baritsu scenes and the satiric interplay between Holmes & Watson. Can't wait for the new one to add to my collection.
