Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?
That’s fair. When I think of at least freer markets, I think mostly of the government not picking favorites and “national champions.” That, I would like. Even (maybe especially) as someone from corn country, I hate the ethanol mandate and other manipulations in our agricultural policy. To...- buroak

Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?
The restraint of experts can be good (Le Corbusier’s urban planning springs to mind), but especially in environmental regulation scientific expertise is needed to keep protections up to date with new developments. Fracking is one recent example. Domestic lithium mining and processing are in...- buroak

Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?
We seem to be defining free markets differently. To my thinking, an income tax is compatible with a free market, while even a small government and tiny bureaucracy can still greatly impede a free market. Henry Clay’s American System and the 1890 McKinley Tariff are striking examples of how...- buroak

Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?
I will play the optimist, an unusual role for me. The FDA deeming regulation of 2016 affected far more than pipe tobacco. It is just possible that the cigar lobby, big tobacco, and whoever makes all those candy flavored cigars sold in garish 4-packs will all push in the same direction against...- buroak

But we have never been anything like a free market, much less a totally free market.- buroak

Will the SCOTUS Chevron Decision Affect FDA Tobacco Rulemaking?
This is why I predominantly write in the names of dead men and women I wish could legislate and execute. There are few living people with a chance to win elections that I want to see in office. My perennial extra credit opportunity is for students to identify my dream team presidential...- buroak

Pipe Smoking and Cancer
No surprises at all. I do, like you, expect there are substantial differences in risk for those who smoke outdoors. I am either smoking outside or in a cavernous and drafty shop open from floor to 12’ peak. Both of those environments mean less smoke is getting into my lungs compared to...- buroak

St. Bruno in a Falcon Original straight stem with Dover bowl in the natural Hunter finish. St. Bruno shares this berth with Royal Yacht. I find that the ghost of Royal Yacht does not detract from St. Bruno, while the ministrations St. Bruno’s ghost, if anything, are a boon to the Yacht.- buroak

***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***
Your patient effort has been worth it! Despite the higher cost compared to the remaining codger burley-heavy blends, this is set to become my mainstay in the genre. That natural cocoa note is a thing of beauty. I would not think to ask you to divulge the recipe. I can pick out some of the...- buroak

The Explorer...Going All In for Adventure's Sake
There are so many things I love about Canada, but I only need its government’s tobacco policies to know I cannot live there. Here’s hoping you can someday elect a more reasonable parliament.- buroak

STG Completes Acquisition of MacBaren
Our fellow forum members in Virginia should contact their Congressional delegation (contacting state legislators would be wise, too) and voice concerns about anti-competitive consolidation and, much more importantly, the potential for job losses, tax revenue losses, and follow-on harm to the...- buroak

Sutliff Mark Twain 150 in a Missouri Meerschaum Missouri Pride. I followed that with Sutliff Maple Walnut in a Missouri Meerschaum Devil Cutty. I wanted to give American aromatics another chance after years of shunning all but Mixture 79 (I do love that singular aromatic). I find them...- buroak

Watch City Cigar’s American Cut Plug in a Missouri Meerschaum Rob Roy. Thanks @JimInks for working with Mr. Ernie to bring us such a fine tobacco. It is my smoke of choice when working in the yard. It seldom needs a relight, so I don’t have to hose the caked dirt off my hands more than a...- buroak

Stanley Baldwin, for certain! I would, though, need a temporary memory block so I could spend my time with him unaware of what was going to happen a bit more than two years after he resigned as PM.- buroak
