    Why did you choose your online name (handle)?

    If you can't figure out my handle/sn then well you're just...not observant :lol: Actually my last initial is O and everybody likes to call me Johnny O....partially because my last name is a bit odd/hard to pronounce by some people but mostly because JOHNNY O just rolls off the tongue and is...

    Farewell My Friends....

    I gotta say, I know what you mean, I haven't smoked much since going back to work over a year ago and have only smoked twice since moving to San Jose 5 months ago! I can't smoke the good stuff as it makes my stomach ache, but I still love the pipe. I wish you the best!

    In Need Of A Cherry Blend

    I don't recall this one having much nicotine as it's mainly black cavendish. I do however remember it being sticky and feeling/smelling like it was soaked for months in cherry syrup...the taste was excellent and almost pure cherry sweetness, none of that bothersome tobacco flavor that gets in...

    Mick McQuaid Plug, Erinmore balkan

    There are many many many blends not imported in the US...there are a couple websites you can order from in the UK that will ship here but you'll pay a lot more after converting to the euro :x

    Making the leap from aromatics?

    Yep the latakia might linger in there still. I have pipes dedicated to VAs, aromatics, English blends, and finally a pipe or two dedicated to lakeland floral blends. I have not tried frog morton, though I did try frog morton across the pond...syrian latakia is a bit softer and sweeter, I liked...

    Making the leap from aromatics?

    When I switched from aromatics to non...I started with sweet VA blends, then deeper VAPERs and burley blends, and it was a few years before I got into english blends...HATED latakia in the beginning and now I love the stuff...it's like crack...I want more and more...lol maybe not that bad...

    Tinderbox Pipe Tobacco

    I think our tinderbox just closed down :( I really enjoyed their blend called Black Russian. One of the best, and sweetest aromatics one can buy...back when that's all I smoked was the sweet stuff, I smoked it more than CAO/Dan Blue Note!

    Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky.

    Hmmm I recall buying a tin but I can't quite remember how it was...from what I recall it's not "exactly the same" PH's is a broken flake while Orlik's was a nice two tone, almost bacon looking flake of stripes of dark and light brown.

    Prince Albert Cherry Vanilla

    I enjoyed both the Cherry Vanilla and the Soft Vanilla versions but did give them away to a poor piper in need

    Funky Baccy?

    I opened an older tin of C&D, I think either bow legged bear or black frigate, it smelled like rotting garbage on a compost heap in the midday heat of summer.... :pale: Think I smoked a bowl anyways...don't remember what it tasted like but I don't remember it being bad :lol!:

    Any difference: Rattray 100 g cans versus the new 50 g tins?

    I've always been reluctant to try Rattray tobacco due to the cost of 100g tins...Sure hate to buy something I didn't like an still have 100g of it...maybe with 50g tins I'll finally try them :cheers:

    Headaches

    I get them often...but I also get headaches often just for the hell of it...mostly due to neck problems.. I figure the cause may be: A) When smoking a pipe I am usually either sitting still reading for a prolonged period or doing something else, most likely my posture isn't the best when...
