What Are You Smoking? May 2012
Tonight it is C&D's, Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture. A predominant Virginia Medley with just a touch of Plum, Rum and Maple flavoring. Not an aromatic. But, pleasing to you and those around you with a real tobacco flavor that won't quit. It's like smoking a Virginia Flake in a traditional...- captainbob

Spilman's Mixture Review
barkar, The reality is, if you ever smoked "raw tobacco" you would probably leave the pipe smoking community. All tobaccos are flavored (cased and/or topped). It is a matter of "degree" that will distinguish if the blend is to be considered aromatic or non-aromatic. The IRC blends are all...- captainbob

Storing VS. Aging
DonGreyface, Putting tobacco loosely into a mason jar or any "air-tight" container and storing it in a place without direct Sunlight and normal temperature range (65 to 75 degrees F) will result in aging. The original moisture level is a time factor. Opening from time to time (as in every...- captainbob

Smoke em if you got em EVERYWHERE
I do get a few compliments on my pipe tobacco. However, I dare not smoke in front of many people because the "mass" of folks are violently opposed to any smoke whatsoever. What about their fireplaces in their homes and their outdoor Weber grills and camp fires? I do smoke everywhere that I...- captainbob

Yes, pipe smoker's have a real problem going forward with the F.T.C.A.
Get your brain wrapped around this! Then ask yourself if the likes of Cornell and Diehl or McClelland can survive. Or, for that matter, will we be able to afford any pipe tobacco? This is what has been Legislated and Passed! Take a look at one excerpt from the Law as passed and signed into...- captainbob

A One Pipe Question
Makes me wonder if I set up my Meade LX-200 telescope and pointed it at the Sun with an eyepiece that can see a Galaxy 20 million light years away, I could possibly start a fire that would consume Washington D.C...- captainbob

Getting used to English Tobacco
waznyf, McClelland makes the Frog Morton series. On this point of Latakia (English blends), I do have several favorites. But, the wife does not enjoy Latakia aroma. Thankfully, I have my three C&D Blends which have only a sprinkle of Latakia in one of them and that is Captain Bob's Blend. I...- captainbob

The beginning of the end?
It's the fact that the FTCA Act is out to eliminate any flavoring in tobacco. That includes non-aro's. There are no non-aro's that have not been cased or flavored. It is all a matter of degree that determines if it is an aro or non-aro. You can trust me on this one. If you have ever smoked...- captainbob

Prairie Home Companion?
I am a huge fan! I have flown to the Twin Cities several times to spend the weekend and see his show. In recent years he has come to our area twice and that was especially nice to only have to travel a few minutes to see his show. If you have not seen his movie, you can get it from Amazon.com...- captainbob

Pete Systems
crpntr1, I own one Peterson System pipe. It delivers an excellent smoke. And I smoke it maybe once a month. The problem is that the system is really "wet". It takes extra effort to remove the stem and to swab the chamber with a tissue. And, then I still use a pipe cleaner to do the normal...- captainbob

The beginning of the end?
ohin3, You asked what you can do? Sorry, it is too late. The F.T.C.A. was enacted. You would have had to write your Representatives back in 2009! Then, the Law went into the implementation stage. Everyone could post their opinions on how to implement the new Law. There were thousands of...- captainbob

The beginning of the end?
Yes, Prohibition is exactly what I think we will experience. I simply can't explain in a post what I know after hours of conversation with Craig Tarler and my own study since the F.T.C.A. passage. When I was on my-pipes.net before they closed down, I devoted countless hours to this issue and...- captainbob

An aromatic to convert me?
I will only say that you should call Cornell and Diehl on the phone. There number is: (800) 433-0080. Tell them your problem and ask to speak to Chris or Craig Tarler. Tell them that Captain Bob recommended that you call them. They will satisfy you even if it has nothing to do with my C&D...- captainbob

Free sample from Altadis came Saturday
Received 4 tins of Sutliff Barbados Plantation and 4 tins of Roma Vita from Sutliff and a request to post a review. Sorry, ain't gonna do it! The tin note is fine. But, they are so loaded with PG (propylene glycol) a preservative, that I can't dry these aromatics enough to even smoke them...- captainbob
