    Travel Tobacco

    Well, I should clarify that I am a pilot and fly on my vacations as "Pilot-In-Command". Therefore, there is no TSA "Pat-Down". The exception is when I have beautiful ladies on board and then I elect to conduct the "Pat-Down-Procedure", personally (so far, I have gotten away with it)! I...

    Travel Tobacco

    I never put tobacco in baggies. I always use jars. Here is a pic of my travel case for weekend vacations... click to enlarge __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ click to enlarge

    Starbucks Smoking Ban

    Going back to my issue, I am shocked that a successful business-owner would insist, through very clear remarks, that anyone who does not promote gay-marriage should buy coffee and shares of stock somewhere else. I see this attitude as totally stupid from a business point of view. I choose not...

    Half And Half Ain't Half Bad

    I smoked Half and Half for 29 years (almost exclusively) until I took blending on my own very seriously with (the late) Craig Tarler's (C&D) help. Now, I only smoke the three Captain Bob's series of blends that we created together. Also, there are just a few other blends that I like including...

    G.L. Pease Recommendations Please

    glpease, I was actually paying you a compliment. However, you took offense. I shall refrain from promoting your blends as not to offend you again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Starbucks Smoking Ban

    It sounds like we are pretty much all in agreement. To hell with Starbucks! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Deertongue Not For Me

    Deer-Tongue is a condiment to be used sparingly. Done that way it is delightful in a good blend of Virginia and Burley. When I say sparingly, I am suggesting only 1/16th! That is plenty...

    Starbucks Smoking Ban

    I cut up my Starbucks Card a month ago when the CEO said something similar to the affect that if customers don't support Gay Marriage they can go buy their coffee somewhere else. Common sence tells me that a businessman should not promote a political point of view to the exclusion of customer's...

    Deertongue Not For Me

    It's a shame that Half and Half no longer includes a small amount of deer tongue. But, I understand as it is very expensive and hard to come by according to C&D. A little bit goes a very long way. I also enjoy Gentleman Caller by C&D and also dedicate two pipes to that blend. Nothing will...

    Finally Understand Why People Dedicate Pipes To Blend Types

    It's a great reason to own more pipes. I have 36 pipes. Over the years I have given hundreds away. Half my collection (18) are Bob Hayes Artisan Pipes. I totally agree with dedicating specific pipes to specific (or very similar) tobacco blends. In my opinion, you will never regret doing...

    G.L. Pease Recommendations Please

    The miniscule flavor in TWO FRIENDS - HERITAGE is: Plum, Rum and Maple. It brings out the sweetness of the Virginia Medley. This is not an aromatic tobacco by definition. But, then again, virtually all tobacco's have some flavoring. Otherwise, they would not be palatable! It is a matter of...

    G.L. Pease Recommendations Please

    eaterntraveler, Order TWO FRIENDS - HERITAGE from C&D or any e-tailer that carries it. It is a G.L. Pease Blend created by Craig Tarler of C&D and G. L. Pease. It was the only tobacco that Craig Tarler smoked and keep in mind that he manufactured 350 blends! It does not contain any Latakia...

    Virginia Suggestions Please

    05, Try C&D's G.L. Pease blend of TWO FRIENDS - HERITAGE. It is a Virginia Medley. It tastes like a Flake, but in a traditional-cut. It was the late Craig Tarler's go-to tobacco since 1999. Craig passed away last year. Before Craig died, we created a similar C&D blend in the Captain Bob's...

    Would It be a Good Idea Adding Cinnamon to a Blend?

    I'm not sure of your point, lord. There are two methods of professional tobacco toppings. One is "from the natural fruit" and the other is "chemical reproduction of the natural fruit". Both are food-grade and preserved with alcohol or propylene glycol. Keep in mind that what we are talking...

    Is the Pipesandcigars.com Magazine a New Thing?

    I like PipesandCigars.com because they sell and promote many fine blends including Captain Bob's Blend that was created by myself and the late Craig Tarler. I do refer a lot of business to them and expect their service will be prompt and considerate as I have personally always experienced. I am...

    Would It be a Good Idea Adding Cinnamon to a Blend?

    When working with the late Craig Tarler of C&D on Captain Bob's Blend and Captain Bob's Ship's Mate Blend, we did a lot of experimentation with aromatic food grade sauces that are highly concentrated and applied to tobacco in miniscule amounts. But, these sauces are very expensive and highly...
