Sight ban in effect in UK
Out of Respect for you, especially in a Forum, I do not argue Politics. I will say that I wonder where all of you were when Congress passed the F.T.C.A. (Family Tobacco Control Act)? Maybe you were active and maybe you were oblivious. It no longer matters because the Act passed and is in the...- captainbob

One-half C&D River Boat Gambler with one-half C&D Gentleman Caller. Reminds me a lot of the OTC Half&Half. Have a glass of Maker's Mark Bourbon on the rocks on the side, too! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- captainbob

All tobaccos taste the same...what's the problem?
bearpwn, At the risk of admonishment, I will simply recommend that you remove (throw away) all filter or trap material and sip your smoke rather than draw heavy. Get yourself a "new" inexpensive briar pipe with no filter or trap and start over. Run a pipe cleaner through your pipe and remove...- captainbob

What are the chances?
There I was on December 23rd, 2011, standing at the top of Rib Mountain, Wausau, Wisconsin. I had just lit my pipe and was puffing on Captain Bob's Blend and contemplating the Black Diamond run that I was about to ski. A gentleman brushed by me and stopped. He said in a Russian accent "Nice...- captainbob

Let's discuss Blend Attributes
Getting back to the topic of blend attributes, I have three blends that I smoke every day. The fact that they are my own C&D blends is irrelavant. So, I will point out the attributes of the three blends that I smoke every day. Blend: Light English Aromatic containing very light Latakia...- captainbob

Anywhere online that will mix a blend for me?
wnghanglow, I highly recommend the folks at Milan: http://milantobacco.com/ They are custom blenders and have a tremendous line of their own blends as well. Every one I have tried, I have truly enjoyed. Give David or Renee a call. You will not be sorry you did. They will blend for you or...- captainbob

Let's discuss Blend Attributes
zanthal, I turned down the opportunity to receive remuneration in order to keep the sale of my blends on the bulk pricing schedule. That's the way I want it to be. However, you can request that your order be placed in a tin for the nominal fee of $2.50. Not all e-tailers provide CBB tinned. I...- captainbob

cortezattic, Those blends you mentioned are a fine variety of great tobacco blends. My tastes have evolved, as well. In my case I was able to put my own specific taste and aroma requirements into a series of three blends with the help of Craig Tarler over years of experimenting. I smoke all...- captainbob

brian64, I want to share something with you. I also love Virginia, especially Red Virginias. I also enjoy medium-heavy Latakia blends. Now, on the subject of "Plum flavoring", that caught my eye. One of my favorite blends is Two Friends Heritage by Craig Tarler and G.L. Pease. This blend...- captainbob

Let's discuss Blend Attributes
zanthal, You raise a very good question when wondering whether the 'topping' has caused either bitterness or bite, or whether it was the blend itself. In my opinion the typical causes of "bite" are: 1. Fine (small-cut) tobacco 2. Too much moisture in a blend 3. Tobacco too dry 4. Packing the...- captainbob

orionpyoung, Based on what you described, you might try creating your own Mixture. You could mix Frog Morton on the Bayou, Peterson's Old Dublin and perhaps Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake. You will have to determine the amount of each and adjust to taste. Here is a tip. It is called the...- captainbob

Let's discuss Blend Attributes
Ok, so I am age 62 and have smoked nothing but a pipe since age 12. I started with a Corn Cob and Middleton's Cherry Blend with my pant legs tied shut. Not really. But I remember my Dad telling me to do so if I really was going to smoke that corn cob! As I grew into the hobby, I recognized...- captainbob
