Great morning read with a gentle perspective on the yesterday vs. today thing.
The article title though.... "Anticipation" has become todays brainworm! Not a bad thing really (-:
Snus, snuff and briar.
Not much more required in a day.

great article mate!, enjoyed reading it. funny how some ppl like progress and others, like myself, can only yearn for yrs gone by. Wish i would have been born in the 1800's. Wife has always said i was born a century too late

Good read with the morning coffee and pipe
"The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

Excellent start to the day.

Good read
Congress seems to believe that 'Children are our future' is a phrase coined by tobacco advertisers.

Totally agree. Here's how I remember the 1970s

God I loved my big wheel in the 90's... never got tired of it. NEVER. I guess the next step is a motorcycle.
Great time to be a pipe smoker!
I kind of want to smoke a pipe while riding a big wheel now... is that strange?

Maybe, but I actually have mentally designed an adult Big Wheel so you're not alone. I'll have to add a baccy pouch and pipe holder to the design.

Great read, Russ! I also started smoking a pipe in the '70's, and was in the business for about 8 years (Tinder Box) starting around '78, so I can relate to what you're saying. I also miss some of the old blends that are gone now, especially my beloved Bengal Slices. I recently acquired some Bengal slices from a friend from the late '80's, and savor a bowl once in a while when I want something really special. But the good news is we do have so many good blends to chose from now, and pipe smoking is on the upswing again.

I was just thinking the same, when reading on another forum of a who posted the pix of that Rad-Desian in the article that he just purchased. I get Rads tantalizing newsletter and that pipe was less than $400 I believe. A real beauty and good example of a modern golden age. Brian Ruthenbergs pipes do the same thing to me!

I think that Russ' Black House is as fine a tobacco blend as was ever produced. I have tried dozens and dozens of tobaccos and have finally found that one blend that makes everything else taste...less than. It has full Balkan flavor a decent nicotine hit, without being overwhelming and a complex blend of flavors that reveal how good a blender Russ is, I never have tried 759 but I cannot see where it could taste much better than Black House. Russ, my hat is off to you sir.
