    Lame Excuse

    UH?! Anybody heard of civil disobedience? Buy as much tobacco as you can afford NOW. Smoke in places you know it is VERBOBEN and dare them to call the cops for such a stupid thing (9 times out of 10 the 911 operator will tell them there is nothing the police can do). The next time you are in...

    C&D's Star of the East Flake

    Check out my Sam Gawith FVF review on tobacco reviews.com. It is the result of too much technical writing in my younger days. I wrote the manual for the machine that manufactures flashlight batteries. Even the guys that run it and maintain it aren't exactly sure how it works "entirely".

    Genocide or smoking

    What have you used as a makeshift tamper?

    Aside from the obvious index finger, I have used of all things: a AA battery, a large carrage bolt (big Winslow FH), and a tie bar.

    More News You Can Use

Also I hope it will help some of you realize you how close we are to becoming criminals once our choice to smoke is completely out-lawed.

    Brothers of Briar t-shirts????

    Gents, We could do this front, back or just a crest on the left breast. OR the Latin: congregatio de sentis The more we order the cheaper. Of course they will need to be dark colors to hide the BBQ stains and tiny burn holes! :D

    Chicago Pipe Show Debacle

    Gentlemen, I am not saying the Chicago pipe show was a debacle. I agree that the CPCC did a fantastic job. Are you missing the point concerning a mere 400 letters to a group of corrupt politicians had more clout than the combined tens of thousands of smokers, their promoters, vendors and...

    Chicago Pipe Show Debacle

    I think many smokers should read the Articles of Confederation, the Bill of Rights, and the essays and diaries of our founding Fathers. Read " On the Duty of Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau written in 1849. It is our duty as Americans to be disobedient to laws that violate our civil...
