Who remembers the Bufflehead tobaccos?
Yup, looking at my last can of Bufflehead Decoy from 2005 as we speak. Label lists Shawnee Mission, Kansas as the address. I've been putting off opening it for a couple years now.- schaum

Sick, Tired, and Pissed
Yup, did the mold thing last year in the basement after the ice on the roof took out a vent stack seal. I didn't think of it at the time and didn't wear any respirator, got a lung infection for being stupid. Classes, mold, carpeting, fever, essays,,,,my sympathies.- schaum

How many...
I count 15 briars in the rack, I smoke about 12 of them regularly. There's two churchwardens that see limited use, and a freehand that's in semi retirement. Some cobs for fishing duty. A couple gourd calabashs and a pair of meerschaum Lovats round out the group, but they're strictly easy chair...- schaum

Snow Coming Here In NY? Will They Be Right?
I'm kinda half way between Syracuse and Watertown on the lake. Lake temperature is higher than usual due to the hot summer and we're all going to get hammered with lake effect storms this winter because of it. Tune up the snowblowers and let her rip.- schaum

How many tins of tobacco do you have
About 15 tins open placed in jars, I never seem to smoke the same blend twice in a row. About 8 pounds bulk in jars, around 50 tins in the cellar getting mellow.- schaum

The snow is coming down quite heavily now at 11:30 AM in northern N.Y. Little accumulation yet however as the ground hasn't frozen.- schaum

What Is Your Personal Motto?
Two that I live by, of course I seem to ignore them while drinking. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing. I'd rather remain silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.- schaum

For You Old Timers, And Maybe The Youngsters To!
Lots of my memories mentioned above. Grew up on a farm, party line phone, no TV , worked the nearby onion farm and apple orchard to buy my bike and .22 rifle at 9 yrs old, fishing the creek for bullhead at night, sneaking hard cider from the cellar, frog leg suppers, homemade icecream, boiling...- schaum

McClelland's Boston 1776
1776 has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. There's a lot of comparable blends that deliver similar flavor, but not quite as smooth as this one, but I keep looking.- schaum

That $#!t's Stupid
I guess I enjoy the simplicity of a pipe nail, form and function. Or maybe I'm a cheap old fart, anyway $20 will buy a couple tins.- schaum

Where did the flavor go?
For what it's worth, I was on blood pressure medicine for six months and couldn't taste a thing while smoking. After I stopped the meds my taste returned. Also (for me) sipping some soda while smoking eliminates tongue bite, have been told the acid in the soda counteracts the alkaline in the...- schaum
