I've never got niccups (nicotine induced hiccups), but last weeks Two Friends English Chocolate kicked my butt after the half-bowl point. Awful feeling. -Jason

Thanks for the heads-up, Russ! Looks like I'll have to find someone to send Black House to out-of-state... :evil: -Jason

I thought Greg Pease declined to participate since he has other things on his plate. Also, pipesandcigars.com has the blend available for pre-order on their website under the H&H Marquee Series and Mike McNeil of McClelland's has said they might produce his blend if he feels like it. -Jason

Looks like Russ Ouellette won the Throwdown. Anybody have any additional info? -Jason

I just want to get a pound of each of the versions just to have around to switch things up now and then. I've never smoked (and probably never will) any Balkan Sobranie, so I'm just jazzed that this is happening and I look forward to more "Throwdowns" in years to come. -Jason

4noggins still has the 8oz. bags in stock. Good hunting! -Jason

Well, as it stands right now, I'm in league with Blackhorse. If I can get it at one of the B&M's locally, I'll be OK with most of my favorites. That said, I'd have to find a way to get these: W.O. Larsen Signature Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream (This one I'm not sure about. One of the B&M's I...

Since I'm still new to pipe smoking, I haven't found too many blends that I MUST HAVE. I've started my cellaring in earnest, and with summer coming and the odd job to make some extra dough on the horizon, I plan on investing in pounds of tobacco. I don't smoke more than one bowl a day (on...

Here's my top 5 in order from 1 down: W.O. Larsen Signature Vintage Villiger 1888 Mid Day Lane 1Q SG Fire Dance Flake SG Full Virginia Flake (#5 only because of its tendency to bite) -Jason

LL, what makes that soooo fun is that the University HAS to report things like that. If they don't and someone sues the University, they'll have no legal leg to stand on since they didn't do anything to warn the campus community. In this case there wasn't really anything to warn them about...

Thanks alfredo! I kinda figured that it was just something I'd have to learn to live with. Fortunately, I've been buying a package of long cleaners whenever I go to the smoke shop, so I won't run out any time soon. -Jason

I always enjoyed Norwich for its small-town feel, but it also had the notoriety of being the closest to what one could consider civilization that made it "city-like". I could totally see myself sitting on Main St. puffing away while people watching. -Jason

Do you smoke by the YMCA or where the Great American used to be? Norwich has plenty of nice memories for me, so it's nice to see someone on BoB also representin' Upstate... -Jason

I like my Sav churchwarden, especially for the shape (it's a smooth 401 dublin), but it smokes a bit wet, which seems indicative of churchwardens... Anybody else have this problem or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks. -Jason
