   I know this is threadromancy in the extreme, but perhaps we could make this a sticky, or have this list as a pop-up when you hover over it. I found Bob's abbreviation list helpful, and would've been a godsend when I started smoking months ago...

   Just a thought...

   I think lordnoble has a great idea. Maybe a sticky or somewhere on one of the side bars would be a good place to put the list, so it is easily accessible.

   Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are small and crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

   Brilliant! I was feeling a little lost reading some of these posts.

   I had figured out what a B&M was, but had no idea it stood for Brick & Mortar.

   PAD had me completely lost.

   TY for the post Bob.

    You're right, sirbogglesworth. The first time I saw B&M was on this site and I thought to myself, "Man, these guys are really tight with each other."

    Having worked as a nurse's Aide when I first saw B&M I missed the & and wondered about someone smoking a bowel movement.

    If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

    My blend is R3N and several people here smoke RHOW . Also I like to smoke GLPP and what about WOL blends .

    Here is a silly question, but nonetheless: what exactly qualifies as an "aromatic tobacco"?

    There have been a number of different threads on this but I believe it has always boiled down to a blend that has had a topping or flavoring added to enhance the flavor of the tobacco....

    Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

    I know there's a link to this thread on the right hand side, but figured with all the new members it was worth a bump.
