    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    I think its important to conceptualize relative vs absolute risk in this study. For example 1 to 3 pipes a day in the study shows a doubling of the risk of lung cancer relative to a non smoker. But you have to take into account absolute rates which showed an increase to 0.4% from around 0.2%...

    Tobacconist in Glasgow, Scotland

    Was in Glasgow about a year ago. Robert Graham 1874 has a decent selection of GH and Germain bulks, tins, and plugs for pipe tobacco but is more of a franchise than a B & M. The pipe shop is the place to go in Scotland though!

    Flavor Spectrum of Burleys

    I have been exploring Burley blends lately in a quest to find my "go to" burley blend. I usually tend to favor burleys with oat, molasses, marshmallow, and/or cocoa-like characteristics Blends that I have found really meet this definition include: 656 aged burley flake, prince albert, carter...

    OTC burley blends - differences?

    Here are the comparisons of the ones I have tried: PA: More oat-like, earthier burley blend CH: Still burley based I get more hints of tea and cocoa from this - possibly from the alcohol topping - some people find the initial charring light off putting LL RR: Sweeter to me then the other 2...
