    The Country Squire Got on TV

    Yeah, it was funny to see all the mistakes, local media is not exactly the brightest, unfortunately. But I'm super happy he got the interview, I worked with the property management company when I was writing the press release and sent it over to all the local news outlets and I they did as well.

    Why Are Aromatics Generally Weaker Than Non-Aromatics?

    Cosmic hit the nail on the head. Cavendish tobacco takes the top note the best when it comes to making an aromatic. In order to get a cavendish you take a Virginia (in most cases) and steam it. This process reduces the nicotine dramatically.

    Lots More Info on Peterson Pipes & Tobaccos Purchases

    Good catch on the fraising. Now when it comes to quality - Mark Irwan can talk at length about the perception of quality you got in say 1970 or earlier and how it was just the same as it is now, it hasn't changed at all and they grade all bowls the same as they always have. American...
