Wish I could take credit for the words in this topic title, but Mr. Zimmerman's line from "My Back Pages" came to mind while I was reading the "Rank Schmank" thread. There was a little bit of discussion about getting a new birthday; e.g. knocking off a few years of your age. And it got me to...

It's the first night in a long time that it isn't too cold to be out for any length of time. I'm sitting on my front porch, with my daughter's Macbook in my lap, enjoying a bowl of Prince Albert and looking at the neighbor's Christmas lights. So many things are good about this: the baccy, the...

I don't know the answer, but I seem to be having a hard time finding Squadron Leader and other SG offerings at smokingpipes.com. Is it a problem with supply? Transportation? It seems like for the last little while they're always out of stock. Mike

I recently purchased some Westmoreland from Knox, and I find it to be pretty tasty. Not enough latakia for my liking, though. I really taste the Virginia more than the latweed. I actually thought I was getting Commonwealth, but when I got home I saw that Jared had written Westmoreland on the...

Howdy all...greetings from Knoxville. Thanks to those who PM'd me (I finally saw them!) and emailed me about this site. Looking forward to great fellowship. Mike
