[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 430845, member: 1690"] Yes. I do. Plain old American burley is what pipe smoking is all about, to my mind. (Plain with topping, maybe...hee, hee. I think it may be the "sauce" that I am actually liking. But I don't care.) The "foreign" exotics are mere indulgences. And much as I like some Virginias, I don't consider myself really into them, although McClelland really comes close to seducing me with their awesome products. I think they're the best, quality-wise, ever since I opened my first can. But my preference is Revelation clones, the zenith of the tobacco blender's art. Burley, Virginia, a touch of perique and latakia, with a fruit sauce. JMO, etc. But the plain-Janes are good, too. (Speaking of which, why the hell can't I get SWR to burn? Much as I like the "natural" taste, that is one tobacco I just can't seem to master. A friend's father, a British expatriate, chain-smoked it, even when pushing a lawn mower. I've always admired the image and devotion.) But these tobaccos won't do for the typical smoker of today, IMO. People who can only smoke outdoors on their own deck if they're downwind of the neighbor once or twice a day or week need something that will slam their skulls, and not some bland crap from yesteryear. Can't say I blame them; it feels good. :drunken: [/QUOTE]
