I have heard something similar, though opposite. I am no expert and my pallet isn't exactly "refined" so don't quote me on this, but I've heard that oxygen is important for aging blends and they'll age better in mason jars than in tins. Again, I don't know. The difference in flavors between tin...

I don't know about Michigan, but at least my area. That's what I was paying. It boils down to what Idbowman said: do you have the use for it? 100 +/- per month spent in something you'll use above all else? sure In my particular case, no, I can get away cheaper. I guess if I was a football fan...

Yes, high. Also, my pay did not include internet. Keep in mind - prices very per location - Prices change after some months (introductory rates, etc) - Price increases if you add any "premium" packages to watch what's already on netflix - I don't think online quotes include fees, rentals...

ESPN no, unless you have a cable subscription. NFL - I don't know PB: The way I'm reading the law you posted, it seems to deal with local channels, not about having to carry one channel (non-local) because the owner of the channel also owns other non-local channels. The question then becomes...

Though it could very well be the law that requires carriers to have all kinds of channels, I don't think that is actually the case, but I could be entirely wrong. The last time I read up on this issue (and it was many years ago so the law could have changed) it had more to do with network...

Cut the cord months ago and never been happier, we were paying 200 bucks a month for a bunch of commercial packed crap we didn't even enjoy watching. Internet, Roku, and a subscription to Netflix and Amazon takes care of my needs. My wife uses Hulu. I wouldn't mind going back to cable if I...

Yes, inappropriate. However, I see other stuff around the web that that's downright insulting, so these women with their weird outfits is tacky but not a concern. I've come across cigar ads where women that I'm supposed to think are hot (photoshopped mannequins more than likely) are holding and...

Thank you all for your responses, now I know I'm not alone. Cart: No way I'm throwing "the ladies" away. I might be picky, but dang, you take the cake. That Dunhill I have was a gift, if I lose it my wife will make me a breakfast of MY chorizo con MY huevos.

about half of all my pipes are full bent. I have some lower end ones and some higher end ones. I have never, ever been able to pass a pipe cleaner fully thru a full bent. I know some say the cheaper ones won't, but even the one Dunhill I have won't. I've heard you have to twist it, push it...

Good suggestions above. I can tell you for sure it is not 1-q or RLP because I keep those at hand. Well, I guess Mystery Weed it is.

I need help from a pipe smoker who is almost entirely into aromatics, has sampled countless aromatics, prefers aromatics over all else, and is well versed in them. While I guiltlessly enjoy aromatics, my explorations in the world of tobacco has taken me in different directions, here's where I...

I understand the Altadis division of pipe tobacco was purchased by MacBaren. With the change in hands, was there a change in the blends as well? I was a fan of Lane's Rum and Maple before it was discontinued (yeah, I know, the horror) and the only replacement I seem to be able to find is...

I don't know if this would be close enough, but here it is for what is worth: Hearth & Home Series has a blend called White Knight that is supposedly close to the original thing, might be worth the shot for 10 bucks a tin. Never tried it myself, so I can't tell you specifics, but the reviews do...

I am going to second and third the suggestions touching burley based blends and sampling some aromatics, let me add a couple of things. Orientals/Balkans/English: I'd recommend sampling more "natural" blends. Frog Morton is really good, but I feel it is cased a bit on the heavy side. I see you...

Everything tobacco is, of course, entirely subjective. If the New B.S. is your all time favorite I can kind of see the price, but I still don't think it's as good to justify the insane demand. I do, subjective or otherwise, think some stuff is way over rated.

B. Sobranie is, as you said, good stuff, but not 35 bucks a tin good. I suppose this is entirely subjective. To be honest though, before B.S. was discontinued, it wasn't considered "the holy grail" or anything particularly interesting. I suppose the same would happen with any tobacco that gets...

So, I occasionally go online to see if I can find a tin of Balkan Sobranie and Penzance, tobaccos that are almost always out of stock, as you are aware. Yeah, these are tobaccos with a huge following but nothing special for me besides a tin once in a blue moon. It has been a while since I've...

Radio and internet. I'll go on Google News and see a summary, then go to a specific news site for more info. Normally the internet is a last resort because, no matter where I go, I have to sift thru a bunch of crap to get a real news. Often I just listen to radio news and if something catches...

I still can't get over the sunglasses. I think an Iwan Ries Zippo pipe lighter would be a good accessory that would match your glasses. A hat maybe?

You know, I'm right there with you regarding customer service... I don't know what it is, but people seem to tolerate insulting behavior. I don't mind if I go to a store and maybe the cashier is having a bad day, what I do mind is the "I don't give a XXXX" attitude. Extra irritating when I get...
