    Excellent Response to Anti-Tobacco Nazi From Cortezattic

    While Cortez's responses to Carol are certainly well-constructed, thoughtful, civil and altogether reasonable, I am wondering if isn't time to let this go. To me, this now has the feel of "piling on." After reading Carol's second response I'm probably in the minority but I think it's time to...

    March 2011 - What are you smoking? II

    After breakfast, Sterling's Country Club in an MM Great Dane bent. Now, Sterling's BCC in an MM diplomat bent.

    Sterling Tobacco

    Clanobucklin, I for one am very glad you raved about Sterling. As I recall, it was one of your posts that prompted me to visit their website. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    Excellent Response to Anti-Tobacco Nazi From Cortezattic

    I just read Cortez's response and, yes, it is indeed excellent. Extremely well done. Articulate, reasonable, restrained, factual and even amusing. And Carol's post seems to support my contention that the anti-smoking furor has now gone beyond a legitimate concern for public health. This...

    Sterling Tobacco

    Forsooth, my Sterling experience has been, well, absolutely sterling. The blends I ordered were based solely on the description on the website, and they're both very good smokes. (I'm relaxing with a bowl of Midnight as we speak.) The sample pouch -- it was unsolicited -- of Country Club is a...

    Sterling Tobacco

    Anyone around here smoking any Sterling Tobacco blends? If so, perhaps your experience with Sterling was as positive as mine. Sterling (in Sterling, Illinois) offers an interesting range of blends and has a website (just search for Sterling Tobacco). I was intrigued by some of their offerings...

    Story Of The Year

    What a hoot! Sounds like something that might happen in our household. So what's the nutritional value of a hearing aid?

    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    Sterling's BCC in an MM diplomat bent. This is only my second bowl of this blend. Man, this is some good baccy. Va. flake and black cav, mild and mellow but with a very satisfying taste.

    Need a Little Help from You Guys

    Fatman makes a good point about rule No. 6. (I must admit that I just read it for the first time. My bad.) Actually, almost every government regulation curtails personal freedom to some extent. As members of a civilized, law-abiding society we most often accept those restrictions if it...

    March 2011 - What are you smoking?

    7 Seas Royal in my MM diplomat straight, my favorite morning pipe. And this 7 seas is quickly becoming my favorite morning smoke.

    Welcome SmokeAuthority.com

    Uncle, thanks for the video. Man, the Jefferson Airplane. That sent me headlong into a 60s flashback. Time for me to dig out some retro tunes, maybe Santana, Hendrix, Dylan, Joplin, etc.

    Support From The 4th Estate?

    Papipeguy, thanks for the post. Nice commentary. Here's my favorite passage: "Most important, we are becoming a culture of busybodies who spout the "we're doing this for your own good" mantra as they increasingly crush individual freedoms. People should not be allowed to inflict the unwilling...

    Changing Times?

    We seem to be living in the age of intolerance. And this intolerance didn't manifest itself overnight. It developed over decades as the health risks associated with smoking became known. It's the result of attitudes that have changed incrementally but significantly in the last 30 years, and if...

    How To Beat A Dead Dog: Anti-Smoking Activism in Modern America

    Hey, I am not "blaming" anyone. But compared to many other articles I've read here, this one comes up short on a number of levels. In contrast, I praised the recent article about how tobacco feeds the soul. There is nothing inherently wrong with a proper rant, or blowing off some steam. If...
