    States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)

    What a slippery slope. People gripe about the government until they need something from it... police to protect you, the courts to settle disputes, etc. People gripe about taxes, until they want to benefit from it... money to pay for roads, medicare, etc. Unfortunately, unless you are living...

    Best "Royal Yacht" Experience

    Yep, I have always said it's a VA that smokes like a Burley. Love the stuff.

    States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)

    It never goes where they say it will. Just look at the Lottery. It's one of the biggest swindles out there, and people drop their money like it's nothing and use the justification that "It's going to Education". That's funny.

    Bill... how many other forums did you say you have been kicked off of? :roll:

    This is not "the mean streets". It is a pipe forum.

    Sad that you think that. "Gentleman" expectations should never be forfeited. At least, that's what I was taught.

    At least it's not a dog telling you things. Then I would really begin to worry.

    LMAO, you might not be far from the truth there... but as the old cliche goes... "Don't judge a book by it's cover"

    That's some scary shite for sure. Explains the "Feel the Bern" movement. Terrifying.

    And there in lies the problem. To comment on someones "foibles" (great word by the way) requires us to make a judgement of an individual, and not always an accurate one. My observation after reading this thread... I have seen a more clear definition of the word stereotype than I have of the...

    It was not a blanket statement at all, it was a direct statement on how "HE" feels about the impact that another individual will or will not have on his life. (Sorry for seeming to speak for you, Mike, just interpreting here. Correct me if I'm wrong) The fact is, the "garbeldy goop" that Mike...

    Do You Throw Away Old Socks?

    I have the upper half of the sock sown directly onto my shoes... you know, kinda like a mock turtleneck. Cuts down on the required amount of socks, and one less thing to put on in the morning.

    How To Tell If You Own Enough "Royal Yacht"

    It is nice to see an overabundance of Royal Yacht threads, instead of Penzance. The Yacht is by far the superior tobacco between the two, IMO. Yacht gets the same treatment as Wessex Burley Slices when I order. There is always a tin or two in every order to add to the stock.

    I would never buy a Twitter connected refrigerator... then the world would know how much beer I drink. 8O

    Cornell & DIehl Small Batch - "The Beast"

    Would not surprise me if this will be a Chicago show release. Drop a few hints now, get the excitement up and then offer it up at the show.

    Which Dark Strong?

    For me it was about the topping. Heinricks leans more toward the Anise flavor where Orlik was more Molasses brown sugar. YMMV.

    Baking tins:

    A buddy of mine from my pipe club baked OGS. 6 hrs, 200° wrapped in tinfoil just in case the lid blew. Noticeably darker in color and he said that it really took the bright edges off the flavor.

    What Pipes To Take To A Pipe Show

    The deals can be great. You are in most cases interacting face to face with the actual pipe maker or owner of the particular store or shop. You can haggle, you can trade, you can work the deal. The "pre-show" that happens in the smoking tent is often a great place to find a deal, but you have to...

    I Am a YouTube Pipe Presenter

    For the same reason we read most of what is written on the forums... it can be amusing and life isn't just about being uptight and serious all the time.
