    The Blend Least Like Your Others

    Most of my tobaccos are English and Balkan blends, but occasionally I dip into some Planta California Dream. It's one of the few aromatic blends I can enjoy since it's not gloppy or heavily cased. It's very light orange blossom taste is there just enough to be noticed and makes for a fair room...

    A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To The Forum(via the doctor's office)

    According to what I've read somewhere, (possible here) if you use tobacco four or fewer times a week you are classified as a "nonsmoker". That just about fits me so that's what I answer on those forms. I have informed my dentist about my pipe smoking and he does a oral cancer screening as part...

    I'm Liking My Dr Plumb

    Saw this while cruising ebay. Plugged in my ninety-nine cent bid and let it ride to an unchallenged victory. The seller's pictures really didn't do it justice. (Mine doesn't either, but it's a little better) I've heard Dr Plumb isn't exactly a top of the line pipe, but I can't find anything on...

    Run Free Maggie

    Very sorry to read about your loss. We were in a similar situation last year with our basset hound/lab mix.I asked the vet how we can make such decision. She said if the dog can't do the things dogs love to do anymore they should be put down. It was still very tough, but the prospects of the dog...

    Brylon?

    I once tried to defend my poor, maligned Brylon pipe. "In Defense of Brylon Pipes" It still gets some burn time every now and then.

    Found Two Stems In My Junk Drawer - No Clue

    I've seen similar hardware in metal pipes such as Aero Kools. They are meant to be self cleaning when you remove the stem. Aero Kool Pipe page Not sure if that's what those are.

    Licorice tobacco?

    Scarface Wrote: jacks6 followed with: +1 to both of those comments. It's one of the few "aromatics" I've tried and reordered. Not sweet at all. Good stuff.

    States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)

    We have no sales tax here in Oregon, so collecting a tax like the one we are talking about (hopefully) isn't a threat here. We are sandwiched between two states to the north and south with high sales taxes. We get lots of visitors from those states shopping here. So if people naturally buy more...

    States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)

    It used to be our state and federal governments convened once a year for a few months. These days they have all year to propose new laws creating new classes of criminals and new taxes. In my state they even routinely propose "emergency legislation" which effectively shuts the people out of the...

    Just received this estate Sterncrest 14K eight panel from Smokingpipes.com today. I missed the fact that the pipe came with the original sock and box, so that was a nice surprise. That solid gold band alone has to be worth what I paid for everything =)At any rate I count it as a bargain...

    Gums peeling

    Some tobaccos seems to be more caustic than others. I'm still trying to find a pattern so I can avoid them. Right now I think it's mostly cavendish that irritates me.

    Jury Duty

    Often times the judge limits the jury as to what can be considered as relevant facts in the case and tightly constructed instructions to the jury make the outcome seem predetermined. I've been through this several times. In the morning they show prospective jurors a video about how important it...
