    It's An Epiphany, Tobacco Review That Is

    Excellent all day smoke. Fruity tones don't overpower the blend of tobaccos nor mask their flavor. All components work well together and match the cut as well. Liked it so well I sealed up a few Quarts in the cellar. Want this one around when the Zombies come! :nana:

    Old Gowrie

    GOOD Stuff no matter what, smoke in at least once a week if not more often. Can be a little pricey but then Booze, loose women or pipe tobacco. You got to choose !!!

    I Survived Mac Baren's Bold Kentucky

    Excellent Tobacco, I enjoy all of the HH blends. I did not find it too offensively strong, but I have smoked and chewed home raised and home cured burley mos all my life. Don't really know what too strong is for that part. All I know is that this tobacco has a slight sweetness that is very...

    How Long Can You Leave Tobacco?

    Depends on the tobacco, or at least that has been my experience. Like msandoval858 posted sometimes it is actually a better smoke. Just be cautioned that if you are smoking a blend that tends to smoke wet it may have adverse effects on your pipe.

    To smoke or not to....unsmoked 1971 36ft 4a

    Beautiful pipe! Ain't worth a dang if it ain't smoked though. Be like having a beautiful wife or girlfriend and locking her away in a glass case. The beauty will soon diminish if the pleasure isn't taken. Unless you are just keeping it to bolster you in old age----smoke that bad boy. You will...

    Scotch Drinkers in the House?

    In my neck of the woods, Central KY, you had not ought to tell the neighbor you drink that fire water from across the pond, I drink and don't tell. Drink for the taste and rate it on its own merit, much the same way I do pipe tobacco. Currently drinking Dewar's White Label, use with a wee bit of...

    The Winds of Change Are Blowing Smoke (Article by Fred Brown)

    If you take a historical look at all vices over time you will see that they have become great cash cows for governments. Hence forth taxes! Whiskey, tea, tobacco, and yes even sex in some cultures. The only reason that other drugs---cocaine, heroin, opium are controlled substances is because...

    What Size Tobacco Chamber--and Why?

    Depends on what I want to smoke in it. I am not a fan of an oversized bowl though. Another consideration is the thickness of the bowl. some of the thin ones will get mighty hot with certain tobaccos and mostly need to be sipped

    Do Not use this Gas

    The bad thing about the ethanol craze beside the harm to older engines, the reduced mileage issues is the fact that it cost so much to produce a gallon of the stuff. I guess it is good for the producers, the growers and anyone involved in the process but it is not cost efficient nor as Green...

    Bill Nye Debates Ken Ham

    What either of them said is of little consequence. One believes as one believes for reasons that are not often clear to others. Instead of hammering the other mans way respect it and leave it alone. Your faith is as good as you are.
