    Having Some Beginner Troubles

    Remember, too, that "taste" is about 75% an olfactory experience. As well, personal body chemistry has some influence on how specific tobaccos "taste" or effect us. Like booze, cars, and women what I like or enjoy may not be your cup of tea at all. Lots of Virginia fans here on the forum. I...

    Surprised by OTC Brands

    I ain't been here long, but I been here long enough to have plenty of inside jokes and lots of ways to interject total BS into any conversation.

    Surprised by OTC Brands

    The poke at cob smokers goes back a year or more on the forum. I can't remember the principle parties any more, but it was all about a stab at folks who smoked cobs instead of Dunhills or whatever, I guess. The guy who owns the corn cob club or whatever it is called got bent out of shape, the...

    My line is at cobs. People who smoke cobs are essentially Philistines.

    And what the hell is a bologna sandwich? I mean baloney.

    And, Bob, to prove I mean what I mean, you have NEVER read me posting about how to build up cake!

    Surprised by OTC Brands

    Life is full of mysterious little surprises. To maintain a bit of appropriate distance from the subject matter, some of the best 'attention' I have received from ladies didn't always come from the 9's and 10's. The boss of my second job took the entire shop out to eat at a high end steak house...

    Surprised by OTC Brands

    I only smoke Virgin Virginia, handpicked by Virginia virgins, cured in the Virgin Islands, smoked out of virgin briars that I have shipped via Virgin Airways. Punk.

    Pipe/Tobacco Tattoo Ideas?

    I should have added... I have a pipe tattoo. A cat smoking a pipe on my right forearm. You can probably find a picture of it on this forum if you look hard enough. As well, I have one of St. Adrian of Nicomedia, the Patron of my profession. As well, I have a whole bunch of other tattoos.

    Surprised by OTC Brands

    Hell, I got a good two dozen or so tins, jars and pouches of various things on my shelf for that kind of thing. So...what do I smoke? Balkan Saseini Ceberus Ambassador Alamo today, I made an order. Two cans of Balkan, two can of Fusiliers Ration. Ceberus was out of stock, and I have a lot of...

    Pipe/Tobacco Tattoo Ideas?

    Tattoos aren't about being tough, so who knows where that came from up above. Tattooing is an ancient art, and full of mystical and metaphysical meanings for most cultures. People tattoo for a multitude of reasons. Personal identification, group or cultural identification, rite of passage, and...

    I Don't Know Bob White, But He Makes a Fine Pipe

    Picked her up on Ebay for a steal. Pics don't do her justice, and she smokes like a dream. Big bowl, thumb size, and pretty as you please. Plus a picture of a KelTec PLR16 with a holographic site on it, since I accidentally uploaded it, too.

    My New "Bjarne" Viking Classic Apple Bent

    I have a Bjarne "Copenhagen". Cost me about the $60 mark, I think it may be the next grade above the one you have. I enjoy the hell out of that pipe. I have turned two people on to pipe smoking with the gift pack containing that grade of Bjarne, both enjoy the pipes. I have smoked a couple high...

    Brigadier Black "Alamo"

    I hope you enjoy it, because I will feel bad if it sucks now! It compares, in my opinion, to 1Q, if all the tastes in the 1Q were bumped up a notch. Or maybe if some 1Q was mixed with some 7 Seas or something. And, that isn't the taste I am trying to describe, only that it seems to have a nice...

    Brigadier Black "Alamo"

    Bought a can of it, because it was a promotion. Chose the Alamo blend, because I am a Texan, and for no other reason. I really have given up smoking aromatics for the most part, smoking 99% English and Balkans. In fact, I have gone several months on that diet alone, lately, and the closest thing...
