    Black Stone - They Say 100% Pipe Tobacco Filler

    Personally, I see them as a poor way to smoke a poor tobacco. I suppose anything will do in a pinch, but they just aren't my bag. When in a pinch, I always have a little can of nasal snuff around. For the pinch.

    Do You Smoke More Or Less In Fall And Winter?

    Far more. It gets oppressively hot here in the summers. I try my best to move as little as possible.
