Pipe Tobacco Scammers
Social media apps are full of scammers trying to profit off of fake tobacco sales. They like to steal photos of other people's tobacco tins and pass them off as their own. If someone doesn't include something like a handwritten note showing today's date in the photograph with the tobacco, I...- litup

Record Dow Jones Over 37,000
It's none of my business, but when I hear things like this it makes me wonder what your plans on for retirement (if you plan to retire)? Based on your user name, I might infer you are a fireman and if so you likely have a pension. If you have a pension, you've likely contributed to the markets...- litup

Night Owls
I'm not proud of my sleeping habits. I typically have to force myself to go to bed at 1:00 and then I lay there frustrated that I'm not asleep until 2:00 or later. And then I'm up at 7:30 so I can start drinking a pot of coffee before my work day starts. By evening time, I can barely keep my...- litup

Tell me about Drucquer&Sons
In that case, I would recommend First Amendment for your morning/afternoon smokes. I don't smoke English blends very often anymore, but First Amendment is one that I continue to enjoy.- litup

Show off Your Smoking Rooms!
This is my home office/man cave/smoking room. I use a couple exhaust fans and a Rabbit Air to keep the air fresh and I use a mini-split A/C unit for temperature control.- litup

Basic Blends for a Good Cellar.
I'm going to come off looking like a jerk for saying this, but I'd caution people against posting pictures of their favorite tobaccos in their cellar. Pictures of large lots of tobacco tins often get copied and later posted on Facebook by scammers looking to sell that lot.- litup

Favorite Christmas Song
I'm probably too moody and fickle to have a single favorite Christmas song but this one reminds me of attending Christmas Eve services and it puts me in a certain contemplative Christmasy frame of mind.- litup

Changey Mind
I agree with this sentiment. Comparing the perceived hype back then to the hype of today is an unfair way to judge it. If people weren't as vocal back then it could be for any number of reasons and most of those reasons would have nothing to do with the tobacco not being highly favored. And...- litup

Christmas Song Elimination
The most shocking part of this thread is just how many people still listen to a radio instead of exactly what they want when they want. No one has Spotify accounts here?- litup

Now THIS Is Mold
No, there was no swelling of the tin or anything that made me suspect it might have a problem. If I recall correctly, it was only about a year or two old when I popped the tin and discovered the mold.- litup

Tobaccoreviews Site Down
Since it was brought up today, I've been looking at the site and they may have changed the look of it and made some updates but overall it's got lots of bugs. For instance, I noticed they have a nice "new blends" section on the home page: But if you click on "see all new tobaccos" it takes...- litup

Tobaccoreviews Site Down
I'm curious to hear what people use the site for and why it's worth the apparent aggravation the switch in ownership has caused. Do you actually go to read people's reviews of blends? The only thing I've used it for is as a database for out-of-production tobacco blends. Like Chasing Embers...- litup
