P&C catalog arrived today....Aromatic Pornography.

Granger at $32.95 per can?Heathen publication!

‘Tis easier for a Raised Ford Truck to pass a low parking garage than for the owner of a GMC, Dodge Ram or Smoker of Mixture 79 to pass the Gates of Heaven.

HELL is littered, with the souls of the damned, bagging Vanilla Cavendish for all of Eternity.

Out on a fjord close to where I live there is a small island with a deserted village. Once the home of up to 100 people, back in the 60's there were only two households left. Of course they loathed each other and could never agree on anything.
And then they left, never to come back.
Don't know why this thread got me thinking of that.

I could venture a guess.

That would suck. Why cause there are a lot of great and quality aromatics. No more Founding Fathers no more Blend For Cary Grant would certainly be sad.
Golly--I love that Carey Grant blend--bought it so I could smoke it while watching "Bringing Up Baby!" He and Clark Gable are some of our favorites! But Lionel Barrymore rocks the house and has a little commercial on one of our DVD's where he's slouching comfortably in a big chair smoking a pipe and puffing away slowly and contentedly--wonder what he was smoking?

I enjoy a few light aromatics, MB Vanilla Roll Cake being one. More often than not though, I've poked fun at the Aromatic folks. Be that as it may, I would oppose any kind of ban on any type of tobacco products. One, I don't want to see any smoking brothers have their preferences limited. Second, it would certainly be bad for most manufacturer's which would ultimately affect us all. Third, the douchebags that ban don't stop. Ban a little, ban a little more and before long, they've banned everything. It's death by a thousand cuts.

As was noted in an earlier post, about 95% of pipe tobacco sales are aromatic blends, so indeed, they keep the industry afloat. Most pipe smokers only smoke aromatics. As we all know, Forums members aren't most pipe smokers, though we smoke a lot of aromatics too -- not everyone but many. I don't know what Putin's dyspeptic expression has to do with it. He always looks that way, or the snarky pompous smile. I think that is his entire facial expression repertoire. Maybe he breaks into a warm euphoric smile in private when he poisons someone. Likely.
