    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    Honest, again, I really do like it now. Not sure I ever disliked it and I apologize for that. I lumped all blends with "Latakia" in it- together. I tried my first which was that "Countryside" by Boswell and blech not to mention my wife who has become acclimated to being in the same room could...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    Steers, queers, and people pushing their tastes (tea baggers?) on u. Well would have been a better laugh if not 4 my fat thumb spelling- and the fact i just asked 4 a divorce (buzz kill indeed ha). Turns out I like latakia/English blends. Just not that one (countryside) I've found out. Well now...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    Oh, sorry, when my balls dropped finally in your mouth (sorry I skipped the reach around, u weren't worth the time), did they fit the typical flavor profile prefer? Sorry if they were cleaner than what u r accustomed to smoking. Ba dum dum...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    Funny, wasn't and still am a cigar smoker at times. Just not often now I picked up a pipe.

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    It gas grown on me. Actually never needed to. It was simply that the 1st Latakia blend seems to be almost all Latakia. Countryside was so over the top 4 me, was my first english, but loaded and felt perhaps they were all like that. I've found others I have like quiet nights are fine. I agree...

    What Tools May I Need to Restore a Decent Pipe Condition

    Been doing it slow and by hand with the basics. I have used booze to flavor it and salt, etc. Polished the heck out of it with a the "spit" mentioned. I need to thank him when I go back through the posts. I am happy with the $15 pretty old (still figuring that out) named Rossi I came upon and I...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    Sorry about the absence all. Holidays, a funeral, health, and a hopefully soon reset. Thanks for the feedback. I've been okay with Quiet Nights and some lighter latakia blends. I guess it was that one I tried that was over the top for me especially at that point. @logs sorry but my balls are...

    Not Real Comfy But Here I Am CO Springs

    You guys loaded with snow yet? Side note- know anything about the Mayo in Rochester? I've been kicking around a week there to find a real doc. Docs here generally only care about a paycheck and I find myself more informed than they are. I tend to research things to death since I am falling...

    Not New - Addressing the Sam Elliott Thing

    @ Akousticplyr Not sure what was unclear. Just saying old skool Elliott had that perfect groomed man growth. I know he went grey. Just referencing that. I occasionally break out the mild brown and look a bit more GQ than when I am lazy. Usually I hold the tight scrub but growing out for xmas...

    Will I Hate The Tobaccos I Bought - Latakia Is In Them

    I could have finished that "Countryside" but I chose not to. Honestly, I felt it ruined every bowl I smoked after it in the pursuit of getting it off my palate. That was a mistake thinking a light sweet aromatic would cleanse it away. I think I was just caught off guard too. I won't give up but...

    Hello

    It's a difficult drink IMHO but I suspect there's a recipe out there that makes it passable. A touch too weak for me sadly. My spine's shot and now stenosis in my cervical. I am on the nasty stuff.

    What Are You Listening To ~ Dec. 2019

    The only man that get win an grammy for hard rock with a flute. It takes a "set" to rock a flute and be around since Woodstock. He gets missed to often. I do hear he's quite difficult and a perfectionist.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Liking my first shot at Orlik Golden Sliced in a quick cheap corn cob as I prep for our xmas vacation. Normally not in a corn cob but trying to get my real pipes in clean great shape now until I leave. I like it. A mild but real smoke IMHO. Keep in mind I've not made the English jump...

    What Tools May I Need to Restore a Decent Pipe Condition

    I slathered that on my Rossi after a drop to my cement patio- it is fairly new- ouch. I guess I should look into filling the grooves/damage it got. I love that pipe though it smokes a tad hot.

    Do You Keep Your Tobac Tins?

    SO TRUE- I was just surprised to see empty ones on Craigslist. Perhaps if they had tobac in them....

    About To Give Up On Non Aromatics

    Too funny- I have 4 oz of the Creme as I heard it's about the same as Molto Dolce but off a tad. It works for me when I just want to type on a forum and puff away. Call me a neophyte but I like it too. I almost wish I had bought more of it on this order.

    This Is What I Want For Xmas For Those That Use A Cane And Smoke A Bowl

    HAHA- all lmao responses. Not saying I'd buy one. Perhaps if I was 007 and preferred pipe tobac. Just thought it was amusing. Crossed my mind looking for my oft misplaced safety device.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Hey- so I see these are not briar but they rally about how good they are- Their pipes! I cannot beat that price if they are good smokes and they look unique. Any thoughts? Sorry- I realize this should go to a different forum now.
