    What's your 2025 Lazarus blend?

    I miss a lot of the Sutliff Match blends, but the one I will miss the most once my stash is gone is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match.

    I always liked the Flying Dutchman art work.

    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    No, there was Hines Mixture, not Heine's Blend. It was a Chocolate/Coconut blend that was a good old codger smoke. There are reviews of it on Tobaccoreviews.

    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    With so many blends not being produced, which ones do you miss the most. For me it is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed and Hines Mixture. I still have a few ounces of Hines Mixture and probably 12 oz. of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. Unfortunately, once they are smoked there is no more stocking up.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    All opinions, whether you agree or not, are welcome. Time will tell how things play out.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    Thank you. There are those on the forum that would rather criticize and think they are clever than to just consider the possibility. A forum is for discussion and consideration. My post was just something to consider that perhaps the closure and ban on tobacco throughout the world may not be...

    Fischer pipes

    I just purchased two Fischer pipes on Ebay from the estate of the Buffalo, NY shop. My only source of information about them is from Pipedia. Do any forum members own any Fischer pipes and what do you think of them?

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    And if you read carefully, you will see that this post is not about smoking. It is about nicotine being used as a liquid, patch etc. (not smoking) that has beneficial effects that the medical industry would want to control.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    Nicotine would be used in its purist form, in a liquid. Smoking would not be promoted or recommended. Since we don't fully know what the medical industry has found out about nicotine, we can only speculate.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    What if the potential that nicotine can be used to maybe cure or stop the onset of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS and who knows what else can outweigh the profits from cancer and other tobacco related profits. What if they have an idea that nicotine can possibly contain or manage cancer, then the...
