There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food
on a similar thread. I love when people correct your American pronunciation of a word with the authentic version. I always want to say and sometimes do. I am speaking English and using a borrowed word. Good example the town is pronounced Lah Tock EEE Ah the tobacco named in tribute is lat a key...- anotherbob

There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food
never had those specific ones but seriously how the hell does a date shake taste as incredible as it does. It's as confusing as trying to explain to someone how good Dorian fruit is. Like yes it does taste like corpse, friend onions, dirty gym socks that got stuck in a sewer pipe, but if all of...- anotherbob

There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food
Oh Gosh one of my favorite types of reviews are people that take something from a restaurant from a town like mine and the review basically is we don't have the same thing that London, New York, or another cosmopolitan city does. Like they just want to brag about how well traveled they are...- anotherbob

There is Nothing Unauthentic About American Italian or Chinese Food
yeah. And like you said too. Cross cultural pollination has happened over and over including with dishes people think of as pure in some way. When the fact is they got it from the greeks or the Italians in the first place (as two examples.) I find if funny too because always the original is a...- anotherbob

How long are the "scents" good for?
floral scents don't die. If you dry out to near dust an aro that has floral as a back note that's the part that will stay. In snuff I have had floral snuffs dry to the point the tobacco scent is gone and still get the flower smells. Just screw the lid on heating will change the tobacco (how I...- anotherbob

Help getting started with first pipes, tobacco, etc.
you will get tongue bite by the way. It's not great but you'll live. And it could be the first time or 20 years from now the day after you brag about never getting tongue bite. If you do what it seems like you'll do and follow advice and pay attention you'll be able to stop before it gets bad...- anotherbob

They'll break out their hidden stash of Capin Black Grape for you. I hear you'll know when it arrives by the scent reaching into your bedroom from the mailbox.- anotherbob

Wisconsin Sales Tax on Tobacco Starting Jan. 1, 2025
I don't like paying more ever. But I do think that the silver lining of states taking taxes on pipe tobacco sales, does at least give them more incentive to be friendlier to us and their coffers.- anotherbob

In The Interest Of Heck Yes
one thing people never seem to get is. Higher end things are harder to off load. You'll sell it eventually. I've gotten a few things at a great price because someone needed a few hundred now. I am a softy and will always take the same amount of cash back latter, or if I turn it around and sell...- anotherbob

Mystery Blend

Storing Tobacco In Zip Locks
I have been supporting my local more. Their selection is small and solid. They straight up tell people they don't know much about pipes it's not their thing. Their stock comes from listening to the people that buy their tobacco. Surprisingly their house blends are decent with no stand outs.- anotherbob

Religious discussion: Why there are so many denominations
actually he sent a letter history doesn't commit to how much feces it contained if any. (they don't even mention it.) The nailing it to door thing came around latter. But he wrote a very polite but firm letter. Seriously if he wrote something like that today it would end with sorry about...- anotherbob

Religious discussion: Why there are so many denominations
and it doesn't delegitimize any of those things. I love when people tell me I don't eat real Italian food in a snobby way. Yeah but that food did come from Italy and then landed here and of course things changed. For example just the fact it's cheaper to grow abundant tomatoes in America then...- anotherbob

Religious discussion: Why there are so many denominations
And also that the same info or ideas can be translated in multiple ways. If anything to me it says more for a practice spiritually if the more superficial aspects can change and adapt without damaging the central meaning. Personally I look at these rules like I look at politeness. Lots of...- anotherbob

Is my new Unsmoked Wally Frank a decent deal? New guy asking for honest opinions.
50 dollars is a fine price for a decent pipe period. It doesn't matter if it's the only pipe some guy made and has no stamping or anything. Also nice pipe so yeah I think you'll be able to get a good amount of satisfaction from that amount of money. Compare that not to a pipe but a meal, these...- anotherbob

Who Would Be In Your Dream Rock/Blues Band?
I don't know. So many times greats together equals disappointment. At that level of great musicianship I find either people get egoed up and everyone thinks they're the star always or the opposite happens and everyone is too humble to tell someone else what isn't working.- anotherbob

it might. It is the forum equivalent of raving in a mine field. You might still have all your legs when done, but don't bet on it with money you can't afford to throw away.- anotherbob
