    Strange How Ones Taste Changes.

    I'm about 100% sure Margate has no black cavendish in it, but I second your recommendation. :D

    John Middleton 'Carter Hall' Pipe Tobacco

    I wanted to like Carter Hall when I first tried it. It wasn't bad, but I still prefer Sir Walter Raleigh or Prince Albert.

    TV Show Vikings

    I casually watch a few minutes of here and there while surfing the net. Whatever faults it may have it's still better than most of the shows on t.v. I am, however, really looking forward to the next season of Mad Men!

    Preferred Frog Morton

    Not really a fan of any of them (except Cellar, haven't tried that one yet) they're too mild for my tastes. But if I had to choose, I would go with the regular/original Frog Morton.

    Altadis Sample Arrived Last Night

    I received a tin of Sutliff Blend No.5 from Altadis. And a 50g pouch of Skandinavik Full Aroma from STG. Both were excellent and plan on buying more.

    Lighter, Peterson or Corona Old Boy

    I couldn't agree with this more. I was hesitant at first to drop $100+ on a lighter, but I'm glad I did. I'm not a match guy so the difference to me in using the Old Boy vs a Bic or a Zippo was like night and day. It's one of those things where, once you get one, you wonder how you ever lived...

    Tobacco Review Tips: a Rant...

    One of my pet peeves is when the reviewer describes the tobacco in a manner that is not in any way, shape or form consistent with what the blend is and is the complete opposite of what every other reviewer described. I realize taste is subjective, but when you describe a flavor bomb like Old...

    C&D Tuskegee Airmen

    Now you're speaking my language! I've been extolling the virtues of Tuskegee Airmen to anyone that will listen. I love that blend. In my opinion, its one of the best C&D produces. Absolutely outstanding and a wonderful way to honor some of the best pilots of WWII!

    Most Controversial Tobacco Blends

    I've noticed quite a few people on the forums that seem to think that anything with casing or topping automatically makes it an aromatic. I used to just chalk this up to them being misinformed. But maybe I am in the wrong. I always viewed an aromatic as a blend that is cased or topped with an...

    What's Your Favourite Cherry Blend

    Tweksbury & Co's "Hobbit's Weed" is good stuff. I've never seen an aromatic (let alone a cherry aromatic) with as many 4 star reviews as this one. http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend_detail.cfm?ALPHA=H&TID=2007

    Since We Are On the Subject of P&C

    I honestly can't be the only one wondering what the point of this thread was?

    Peter Stokkebye Golden Dansk (Bulk)

    I love Stokkebye's bulk blends. Golden Dansk and Dansk Black are staples in my cellar and the only two aromatics I buy and smoke regularly.

    If You Also Smoke Cigs, What Do You Smoke?

    When I smoked I was a dedicated Marlboro man for most of my "cigarette years". I did the roll your own thing for a couple years in the late 90s using Bugler. After that, stationed in Japan, I discovered the brand "Mild Seven" and thought I died and went to cigarette heaven. I don't know what it...

    Dr. Oz to Governors: Penalize Smokers

    He's a preening self promoter who also promotes and dabbles in pseudo-science quackery just like that idiot woman who made him famous. Dr. Oz proves once a gain that even the stupid can earn legitimate degrees.

    Are All Butane Brands Basically the Same?

    Been using Ronson in an IM Corona Old Boy for several years (GASP!!! OH THE HORROR!!!). Zero problems.

    Challenging Traditional Thoughts on Creating Cake

    I have a feeling I probably shouldn't say this but here it goes: I don't give a rat's ass about cake. I buy pipes. I smoke them. If cake forms, swell. If not, oh well.

    Wally World for Tobacco? I Guess NOT!!!!

    Here in Colorado a tub of PA at Wal-Mart is about $30, but a tub of Captain Black is $54. I've never understood why there is such a drastic price difference between the two. Especially since the cost difference of pouches between the two is about $1.

    Clergy Pipe Smokers.

    Gene Simmons of the band KISS once said that, one of the things he remembers most from his childhood was when he first moved to America (he was born in Israel) he saw a billboard of Santa Claus smoking a cigarette (advertising Kent brand cigarettes). He thought to himself, "Why is that Rabbi...
