    Pure Prepared Salad Mustard

    I've tried several pricy browns,but I always come back to French's. I put it on hot dogs, sandwiches, pretzels, chicken strips, etc

    Do You Have A Tobacco Tray?

    I've been using the same piece of butcher paper for the last six months, works fine. The leather ones are kind of tempting tho

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Cheap wine (Gallo), cheaper wine (Maddog 20/20), taco trucks, and that's just about it. Everything else is either fast food or crummy chain restaurants. A couple of the local dairies make pretty good cheese, but there's nothing distinct about it

    C & D Burley Blends

    I'd also throw in Odessa and Bayou Night. I've lost my taste for latakia, but for whatever reason, it works well in those two blends. I recently picked up a sample of Sutliff's Burley Delight, and it deserves mention as well

    My Pride is Showing

    I'm right there with you on the Pride. Not only does it smoke cool, but it seems to me like it adds a tiny bit of sweetness

    Comfort Food Tobaccos

    Evening Flake, Bayou Morning, and Pegasus have all been reliably good for me

    Escudo Alternative

    I'll second Bayou Morning, it's a terrific smoke, wake you right up. Also, try Orion's Arrow (Va, Perique, Oriental) for a change of pace

    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    There's something heroic about doing a job you don't like for 42 years, for the sake of family. I hope your retirement is pleasant and fulfilling
