Well, seeing how the UK is ahead of us on the road to Hades, I'd prefer just to leave things the way they are. I don't want to get there any sooner, thank you. ;)

Yes passing a pipe cleaner can be a pain. I don't care for them on straight stems because of my bite I've dumped more than a few hot ash and embers into my lap as the pipe shifted in my mouth when clenching. However I have several full bent Pete's that just hang nicely on my bottom teeth and are...

Well I just got a pleasant surprise. I was bidding on a 1985 unsmoked Dunhill Coopersark had that closed yesterday. I missed it by $5. I was really disappointed because it was my first daughters birth year. However today I received an offer from him to buy it because the winner had welched on...

It is simple, but from a taste stand point. Wonderfully, simple, tasty Virginia. If you don't have arthritis and you have a sharp knife, you'll be in like Flynn. I think it ranks right up there or surpasses Dunhill Flake. My hands don't like me after I've cut this stuff up which is too bad...

Absolutely terrified of heights, roller coasters too. However I love to fly. That makes no sense to me. Going over bridges or driving on roads that are high up on mountains with long drop offs do as well. I have control issues it seems. I booked an outfitter for a deer hunt last year that had...

Cart, agree 100% on freshly mowed hay. Love that. Love the smell of just threshed wheat as it comes out of the auger into the truck to go to the elevator.

There are many tobaccos some wouldn't smoke just off the tin smell alone. Black Irish Twist is one that also happens to smell like a bag of steer manure and tastes little better. My favorite daily smoke is C&D Bayou Morning. It tastes outstanding to me but when I get a whiff of the tobacco in...

Thanks, I will.

If you've ever tilled a garden in the spring to get it ready for planting and tilled in good clean compost, planted then raked smooth, you may have an idea. At least that is how I think of it.

I've been happy with the experimenting thus far. I have a lot more I'll try in the future. I like your avatar too but we need to have our individualism intact. 8)

Dessert only, accompanied by a good Port.

If your tin is open you can put foil tight around it then put the lid back on it then bake it. Some time during the baking process the sealed tin will lose its seal anyway so it isn't a much of problem. Give it a try it may surprise you.

I bake it in a sealed tin. It hasn't dried out at all. The old Cajun on this forum recommended it.

I have baked a tin of Capstan blue at 200 for 4-5 hours. I liked it cube cut in a 35 Dunhill however I thought mixing it with fresh Capstan blue 50/50 would be better and it proved to be to my taste. I get the nice bright and brown flavor of the VA mixed with the stoved VA that really was quite...

I've tried Escudo and DDNR and the Escudo tastes sweeter to me. I like them both and wouldn't mind at all substituting DDNR for my Escudo needs. Hopefully that situation never has to happen.

I smoked a couple of bowls in the same pipe tonight and finally caught a whiff of cigar but no taste of cigar. This is growing more and more on me. It is its own type for sure. I've not really tasted anything like this in all the tobacco I have smoked. I'll have to get more on my next order no...

I bought some McC. Grand Orientals a few months ago and opened the Yinedji(sp) one and it's ok but really hard to discern any flavor so far but will keep it up. I'd like to really get into this area more but find it more difficult to find ones without Lat. I've have some that didn't mention Lat...

I don't know what it is about straight reds but I'm just not into them. There's just an after taste in my mouth that isn't appealing. Some folks have a chemical/allergic type of reaction that burns like Hades to them but that isn't it for me. It does have a vinegary/ketchup type of smell to me...

I've had some Peter Stokebeye's Virginia Long Cut aging since late 2012 as well as some C&D's Turkish Izmir. I mixed some a few weeks ago together of 2 parts VA and 1 part of the Turk. I've enjoyed several large bowls of the stuff and am very happy with it. I really got into Orientals without...

As I always say, "That just means more for us." One of the reasons why some folks don't get VA's. Being disciplined enough to slow your cadence down and sip will pay off with great flavor. If you're chewing over a problem on your mind and distracted don't smoke this, smoke something that won't...
