    Quiet Nights....Finally!

    Quiet Nights is a good one! I'm a fan of GLP in general, but that one is silky smooth with a nice nip of spice occasionally coming through. A seemingly impossible and contradictory combo, but he really pulled it off. Gaslight is also good, the best way I can describe that one is smokey...

    My Pet Peeves.

    That's funny. When we're expecting an inspection at work, I've commented to my boss, "I should probably wear pants that day, huh?"

    Trouble with Flake Tobaccos

    Personally, I rub them out - but not all the way. It depends on the tobacco, but I find that rubbed out a bit leaving some nice chunks works well. This seems to be a good balance between keeping lit and still retaining some of the flake characteristic.

    Those We Have Loved!

    I admit, with a red face :oops: , you tricked me with that same quote about a year ago. I was sent a sample of Mixture 79 from a fellow forum member, and enjoyed it on it's own merits... but not what I was expecting... BTW what ever happened to Nate?

    Sipper or Puffer?

    Both I prefer the flavor of sipping, but when I find that sweet spot and the flavor becomes unbelievably good, I unconsciously start puffing to get more. Defeats the purpose, and makes the good go away, so I have to actively try to slow myself down. I'm the same with eating... something tastes...

    What Shape is This Radice?

    Thanks Duane. I've always been curious about this one. It definitely has the Italian neo-classical chubby characteristics which made positive ID a bit tough for me.
