I truly enjoyed the interview with Glynn. It's always interesting to listening to the tobacco blender's side of the hobby. I was surprised by the 5% rule for perique. When I throw together blends at the house, I'm always in the 22-30% range. I've put together a few blends that had around 50% for the fun of it, but perique is about all you taste at that level. He has a very impressive website and I hope to try out some of his blends soon. Glynn - when did you start using the "age in the sock" method?!
The Boris Karloff bit was great! I think I'll gather the family tonight to listen to it...lights off with candles lit. What a great voice!
Regarding the asthmatic comment from last week - the asthma story is a long one for me, but to keep it short the only thing that has triggered an attack in the last 8-10 years has been cold weather or vigorous exercise. Smoking my pipes or being around smokers doesn't cause an attack for me. Modern asthma medicine is incredible compared to the stuff I was given as a kid. I don't suffer from it anymore as long as I take the Advair (I can't wait for a generic $$$$).
