Sailing the Black Seas of Pretentiousness
C&D Cherry something or other. I can't remember the exact name of it. I had high hopes, considering C&D tends to do tobacco well, and even some of their Aros are palatable. Nope... not this cherry blend. It was like sticking Ludens in my pipe.- skraps

Best deal for tobacco
Plethora of good advice here. First question... Do you like Captain Black and Borkum Riff? If the answer to that question is yes, then you should identify bulks (most likely Lane) that are similar. You can stock up on those for a VERY reasonable price, and build yourself a little cellar. Once...- skraps

Will Age Mellow Out the H&H Burley Kake?
I love the flavor of H&H Burley Kake, but it bites me like a rabid dog. For me, it is the anise topping they use. It does not agree with my body chemistry. Too bad, because I enjoy the tobacco.- skraps

Strang Group Buy Interest Thread
No worries, Wayne. Like I said, I have thick skin. No harm, no foul. Not quite how I would describe it, but hey... everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just a matter of fact observation with a bit of sarcasm thrown in. :wink: No controversy, Nate, and certainly not sour. Simply an...- skraps

Strang Group Buy Interest Thread
First off, Wayne... I have not denigrated anyone for wanting to participate in the group buy. I'm making an observation about the mob mentality that suddenly emerged related to this rather unknown tobacco, simply because someone posted that the Motzeks are trying to get out of the business...- skraps

Strang Group Buy Interest Thread
I don't see how it's a "rude" assumption at all. It is not unheard of for people to do it, especially when there is a run on a blend that they think is going to be discontinued. I would bet that of the 20 or so people ordering this, a few have never even tasted the stuff. I'm glad that you...- skraps

Strang Group Buy Interest Thread
It doesn't matter if you ran a million dollar company, or a lemonade stand. You guys are planning on ordering over 20 lbs. of tobacco from a small Mom & Pop shop that makes this is small batches. Aside from the logistical nightmare that Sable so eloquently detailed, you guys might be waiting 6...- skraps

Strang Group Buy Interest Thread
Not to piss in anyone's Wheaties, but you might want to keep in mind that an order that is getting to this size, will surely get flagged by customs on this side of the pond. Would be a shame to get nailed for a little overzealous "unicorn chasing".- skraps

Latakia smells like cheese?
Yep, the first time I had Lat, I compared it to dirty socks. I eventually came to like it very much and it was a regular for me. Now, I can't smoke it. Tastes changed. I do enjoy the aroma of it though.- skraps

Please Pass This On
Amen. If the blow hard that started this shite storm would spend his Starbucks money and time actually doing something for the good of society, instead of claiming his 5 minutes of fame on the interwebs, this world would be a better place. I've got an idea... instead of spending that $4.50 on a...- skraps
