Blending dry with wet tobacco?
I smoked Half & Half for 21 years, exclusively. But, then I decided to try creating my own blend of what I wanted and could never find. Thanks to the help of the late Craig Tarler, of C&D, the rest is history. I tried Half & Half after that and could not tolerate the "goopy" caused by the...- captainbob

Me thinks you desire aromatic blends... Try Capt. Bob's Blend. Available from www.smokingpipes.com. My Catholic Pastor prefers cigars but loves to smell my Blend. Perhaps it will someday end up in his incense burner at the Alter...- captainbob

I flew the plane to the Show in Chicago, again!
dottiewarden, Thanks for those kind words. I live in Appleton, WI. Craig Tarler and I worked for two and a half years together to create Capt. Bob's Blend. Originally, it was strictly to be a personal blend just for me. But, you know how it goes... so I gave permission to sell it to my...- captainbob

I flew the plane to the Show in Chicago, again!
Five of the last six years I had good weather to fly the plane to the show. It is a four hour drive that I fly in one hour and 1 minute! What a treat it was. More than five thousand pipes on display and several thousand attendants for 340 exhibitors! I was impressed. It was bigger and better...- captainbob

Blending dry with wet tobacco?
Give it a try... However, I recommend starting with the blends in the mixture being at equal "dry" levels. Whatever is equal, to start with. Then, mix them together. After doing that, put them in an air-tight container and spray water on the underside lid of the cover. Repeat once per day...- captainbob

Origins of User Names?
Being a pilot and also the founder of a Flight Simulation company, I became known as "Captain Bob". Then, I met Craig Tarler of C&D. We created a pipe tobacco blend that is known as "Capt. Bob's Blend" and it is doing very well as a featured tinned or bulk blend manufactured by C&D and...- captainbob

Niccups?
"Sip" drinking water whilst you "sip" your high-nic tobacco. In other words, slow down and have a drink (of whatever you like). __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- captainbob

Red Virginia What Is It?
I'll give you a pertinent answer... Red Virginia does not taste like "ketchup". Talk to C&D and give them a try. I know the "ketchup-taste" problem with McClelland blends and I don't like it, either! The "late Craig Tarler" smoked exclusively a Tarler-Pease Blend called "Two Friends -...- captainbob

Take my briar away I don't enjoy it
It's probably more of a damp tobacco or smoking technique situation than anything else. Personally, I don't care for the smoke of Meers. However, I have never been upset by a Butz in my entire life. So, I am confused by your message. You should do whatever you feel is right for you...- captainbob

Tobacco Pouch; How Long Will Tobacco Stay Good
My advise is to simply put your tobacco contents into an "air-tight" jar every night and give a "spray" to the underside lid of the humidor if the tobacco in that device feels dry and does not "clump" with a tight pinch...- captainbob

How To Tell Nicotine Content
augusto, If you smoke into the bottom of a bowl with any tobacco you will get maximum nicotine. If you feel a "buzz" then you know that there is a significant amount of nicotine. If that is what you are looking for, try C&D Riverboat Gambler and tie you pant-legs shut! You need not inhale to...- captainbob

Buying Bulk - Very Dry
I just received a one-pound bag of my Capt. Bob's Blend from smokingpipes.com. Obviously, I can make this blend in my kitchen. However, I wanted to see if the quality, consistency and moisture is being followed true to form. Well, I can attest that it is and I have no belief that they even...- captainbob

Been Gone For A Long Time
Welcome back, Chris! Perhaps it is the "over-use" of your voice and not the "puffing-on-the-pipe" that causes a problem. Personally, if you have checked the symptoms medically, I would then ignore the "medical" down-play of smoking your pipe. Just my opinion...- captainbob
