Latakia smells like cheese?
I've never detected a cheese flavor in any of the lat blends I've tried including Black House or MM 965. though I have gotten the vinegar or ketchup. notes on occasion from Black House and a few others.

LIFE Magazine May 26, 1941
It probably is advertising BS but when you consider the combustion temperature variables of tobacco, 86 degrees is not much to fudge one way or the other. Most likely a meaningless difference.- tuold

corporations drug screening for nicotine.
Working in pharmacies for most of my adult life, I've been subjected to random tests and surveillance. In this case I think it's a very good idea and never had a problem with it.I looked at it more as a safety issue than a security one. It's just way too easy to get hooked on some of the things...- tuold

Considering A Move to Oregon
We pretty much are a one party state here in Oregon. The last set of gun laws were past as an emergency measure which meant voters had no say in the issue. That's how things work here.

Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!
It took me months but I finally snagged a Dr Grabow CDL for a price I wanted to pay. I'm enjoying it.

This is a pretty good...- tuold
