The Tobacco Purge — Why?
If I had your curiosity I'd ask C&D and/or a vendor or two directly. My best guess is only so much of a blend is made and then they turn to another. But, it's only a guess.- warren

The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue
Fried grasshoppers aren't bad. Not a steady diet though. Oysters, fresh and raw are manna from heaven! Never saw the Matrix. Not a Reeves nor a science fiction fan. My loss I suppose.- warren

As i smoke my pipe
I submit most people have never looked up the definition of politic or political and developed an erroneous and very narrow definition for themselves. In deed, most every thing discussed is political. Indeed.- warren

As i smoke my pipe
I beg to differ. Newspapers have always been simply mouthpieces for the owners. One only needs to read the papers of 1700 and 1800's. Granted opinions were "mostly" relegated to the "Op-Ed" pages but, slanted journalism is part and parcel of the media. Cronkite in England and Vietnam...- warren

As i smoke my pipe
It's not all I worry about. It simply is at the top of my list today. My list is vast but includes nothing I have no control over. I have too little time to spend any of it worrying about those things, interesting as they may be, which I have no control over. I'm a fan of the Green Bay...- warren

B&M Near Me

If you know what you like, do as suggested above and look for reviewers who seem to parallel your tastes. How would anyone know your preferences unless you list blends you've tried...- warren

Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!
Perhaps you should have done a bit of due diligence before jumping into pipe smoking. There are all sorts of horror story threads on this site. Some are full of facts. Many are filled with angst. You may think of smoking as a hobby but, governments see it as revenue producing. Society in...- warren

Balkan vs English
Most everything about the pipe, likes/dislikes and blends, in particular, is subjective. There are no, thank God, any governing agencies regulating terms, shapes and such. It's a very personal habit and will remain such I hope. It's all subjective!- warren

Meerschaum Coloring End Game
I have a couple 40 plus year old smokers which I believe are no longer turning. If they are, the change is far too subtle for me to notice. Of course, once the available veins are full ... well, that's it I'd think.- warren
