    Why it's so hard to quit cigs.

    Absorbing nicotine through lung tissue is bad. But, you know that. It takes a lot of will power and patience to learn to absorb nicotine through the mouth tissue. But, it is possible. I recommend picking up the pipe evry time you desire to smoke, instead of the sticks. Don't even have...

    Rum & Maple not as I recall...

    I hesitate to add here because everyone has their own idea of what Rum & Maple should taste and smell like. I smoked the Original Rum & Maple years ago and I did not detect rum nor maple! If it is Maple you want, C&D's Autumn Evening is the best I have had. I created a mixture called Captain...

    Cornell & Diehl Exhausted Rooster

    I've smoked it and enjoyed it very much. It is a Flake tobacco that is excellent as far as I am concerned. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    C&D Tobacco advice

    My favorite C&D blend is Two Friends Heritage. It is the only tobacco smoked by Craig Tarler (CEO of C&D). It was created by Craig and GL Pease in 1999. It is a wonderful Virginia blend with only a "kiss" of Plum flavor. It tastes like a Virginia Flake in a traditional cut. Give it a try...

    Today is the Saddest Day for Me.

    You have my deepest regret and sympathy for your loss. Words do not work here. I am sad with you.

    Pipe Cleaner Question

    I only use soft pipe cleaners. But, I run a cleaner through each and every pipe after I smoke it. I rotate a few dozen pipes, so I never have to do a major cleaning. I also ream each pipe after smoked with a dull pipe knife. So, I don't have a major cake problem, either. I have done this...

    My first attempt at mixing

    Eric, What you are doing is OK! Just take my advice and WRITE IT DOWN. I learned that from Craig Tarler of C&D. You will not remember what you did. Take my word for it... WRITE IT DOWN! That will come in very helpful if/when you stumble on greatness...

    Some NASCAR, Pipe and 1-Q

    My wife enjoys NASCAR, too. However, the framed autographed picture of Danica is "next to" my wife's picture standing beside the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Trophy! She has her favorites, too! click on picture to enlarge...

    Some NASCAR, Pipe and 1-Q

    I am a great NASCAR fan. Especially, of the top ten and particularly of Danica Patrick! Just imagine... 100 pounds sopping wet and only 5'-2" tall going 196 miles per hour. She has a lot of nerve and I admire her for it. I am looking forward to her first win! Below is an autographed picture...

    English blends with nice room note???

    There is a minority of Aromatic Blends that contain Latakia. Cornell and Diehl does list their Aromatics containing Latakia at this address: http://cornellanddiehl.com/aromatic_blends.htm There is a total of only eight aromatic blends containing Latakia. Captain Bob's Blend is one of those...

    Customizing blends.

    I'll offer, if you have three favorite blends, consider measuring ingredients in a ratio of 3 parts, two parts and one part, in the order of your favorites. And, I would recommend using a shot glass for measurement and doing it "loosely" to fill the shot glass. It is a start in the right...

    OTC tobacco?

    I'm not one to knock OTC. After all, I smoked H&H for 19 years straight! It was then that I finished my study of all I could read about blending and started to experiment. Were it not for Craig Tarler at C&D, I would still be smoking H&H. I had studied and I had experimented. But, I needed...

    Ash dump or no?

    I rarley dump. But, when I do, I tamp and re-light. I'm just not a big tamper. Never have been. But, it is an essential tool.

    Yuk!!

    Spartan, I don't want to appear to be "pushing". Perhaps, I really should back-off. I am not remunerated for the sale of my blends. My only interest is in blending and sharing (without a monetary reward). You can verify that with C&D. This is strictly a hobby and the love of tobacco...

    Yuk!!

    colcolt, It's interesting to me that you enjoy Autumn Evening. It is Red Virginia Cavendish with a Maple Aromatic flavoring. What is interesting is that Autumn Evening is part of my "Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture". Below is the description: Brand: Cornell & Diehl Blender: Tarler/Captain...

    Furious!!!!!

    Confide in Courtney. The two of you must also agree to elevate your relationship above the level of friends and relatives disapproval. It is true that when you marry a woman, you also marry her family and friends. Again, it must be the relationship of the two of you above everyone else...
