    Pleasant Cellar Surprises

    I haven’t delved into the hoard cellar since last year’s Secret Santa. Given my memory, or rather lack thereof, there are no exceptional memories beyond that I’ll never smoke it all.

    Flowery Tasting Tobacco

    I’m surprised that nobody mentioned Oriental leaf mixtures yet. Also, the OP mentioned that he didn’t want anything that would ghost. My suggestion is to find an Oriental-dominent blend, or to mix just a small amount of Lakeland blend into a Virginia blend.

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    I used to think that, on several occasions, that I’d seen alien spacecraft. Later on, everything that I saw showed up as legitimate military hardware. I lived a few minutes flight time from the Johnsville Naval Air Station, Naval Air War Center Waminster and Willow Grove NAS.

    Esterval’s Tobacco Order On Hold

    All of my Esterval’s orders went through OK, though some sat in thr USPS Purgatory Pinch Point in NYC for an extended period. Out of compulsion, I feel like I should order a kilo of St. Bernard Flake and see what happens.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    I read it already. My statement stands. BTW, since I’m headed to bed soon and have a busy day tomorrow, I thought I’d post all my future replies to this thread in advance: Yes No Maybe No f’n way! Someone here told me that’s bullshit It’s just getting worse and worse That’s a relief! I told...

    A trademark or patent registered in Canada in no way indicates that any manufacturing was happening there.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    I know that the STG data includes acquisitions, which isn't a reflection of organic sales growth. I also know that (unless I'm missing it) STG doesn't break out pipe tobacco sales volume or receipts.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    The catch here is that tobacco quality keeps declining along side the number of smokers, tobacco farmers and tobacco producers.
