    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    If I do not hear from P&C by COB tomorrow, I will call. This tobacco is unsmokable.

    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    No. I put it wrapped into the large Bell jars. I unwrapped it last night into smaller jars. My idiot is full on today.

    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    I purchased 2 tins during the buy 1, get 1 promotion from P&C. Upon receiving it, I removed the cellophane package and put it unwrapped in individual Bell Jars. Last night I unwrapped and split one of the packages into 2 smaller Bell jars and the tobacco is so dry it crumbles. I tried to smoke a...

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    Yeh, Warren, well you were not hurting with the Sage rods. We had a rep come through to give a workshop in the early 90s while working on my masters and he gave the three of us that showed up a Sage second with flaws... Mine has such a minor flaw that most cannot find it. With kids in college...

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    Ash, that is a cool looking rig. Will watch some videos. That would work great for what I am looking for. Bassbug, the upper reaches of the Slate are one of my favorite areas for fishing and just being. Cedar is a bit smaller but I have fished some unreal caddis hatches that left me tired.

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    Haha Warren. You can become just as hooked with a cheaper rig. I wish I had the chops to afford a good bamboo rod.

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    I hear you Trudger. I have taken my share of unchosen rides down stream after slipping. I am lucky that my profession keeps me in a freshwater stream more often than not. I need to somehow find a pack rod/reel that I can carry with my other gear.

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    You speak truth. And to address the myth of "avoid cheap gear"... A fly reel is nothing more than a spool to hold line. You do not fight a fish using the reel. You use your hands. You could find a vintage thread bobbin for a large loom and it would work just as well. I laugh at the expense of...

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    If you decide to give it a try, there is some very good gear at reasonable levels of cost. My major professor only used the cheapest of gear and out fished everyone. I do not think his rod/reel cost more than 70 or so dollars. And you can roll cast in tight quarters to avoid the trees. Also...

    Which In Production Blends Have A Vinegary BBQ Tin Note?

    C&D Brer Fox is one I have heard mentioned to have it. Others?

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    Sounds like a good day was had. I lived in Sinking Spring, PA for a few years. If you haven't fished Pine Creek and tribs above and west of Williamsport (not exactly eastern) such as Slate Run, you need to do so. The pine is more like a Montana River.

    Made a pipe roll

    Sewing leather is work. Great job. The leather will soften up with work and use.

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    Yes, they do. The last few ounces I have left. I liked McClelland blends but mostly just Balkan Blue and Blackwoods... And I do miss the vinegary aroma from a new tin.

    Fly-fishing And No Need To Catch A Fish

    I hit the water for the first time this spring and while the water is too high for serious fishing, just being on the water without a another human for miles was reason enough. I mostly smoked my pipe and watched the wildlife... There seemed to be an inordinate number in my vicinity. From...

    Decided on these three Aromatics, opinions.

    Boswell and Country Squire make some of the best aromatics.

    Aromatic for the non-aromatic guy

    Three blind Moose or Trout Stream with a pinch of dark fired. Rattray's exotic Orange, or passion. Country Squire has a number of good aromatics.

    C&D Billy Budd

    BB needs some age to develop, IMHO. It loses some sharpness and the base tobaccos blend into a wonderfully smooth, tasty smoke. Add a bit of Semois for a nic boost.

    List of Aromatics with Burley but Without VA, Perique or Lat

    I see quite a few blends that I enjoy. But they are made by some smaller tobacconist.

    List of Aromatics with Burley but Without VA, Perique or Lat

    If you go to advanced search in Tobacco Reviews and choose aromatics, exclude Virginia's, Perique, and Latakia as well as choose burley under contents, you will get a list of 274 blends.
