Why people hate aromatics
I think MLC hit the nail on the head. The issue being the definition of "aromatic". I think the more appropriate descriptor these days for what most of us think as aromatic should be "highly artificially flavored". Most tobacco has some sort of aromatic properties to it. All tobacco is cased...- skraps

Poke, jibe, alienate whomever you wish. I'm not saying that people don't have that right. Especially you, Warren... I quite look forward to when you do it. :-) I'm in the same boat with Ford on this though. There often seems to be an unnecessary venom toward the "hipster". I use the quotes...- skraps

The modern man
Amen. I have asked many times why there seems to be this pervasive need around here to bash the so called "hipster". I think that people just like to put labels on others, even if they don't deserve it. I have said it before and I will say it again... the last thing that anyone in the pipe...- skraps

USPS sucks
Both UPS and FedEx utilize USPS for "last mile" delivery quite often. Obviously, the fleet and reach that USPS has is extensive. That is not free though, and all the more reason why the USPS should not be suffering so badly. There is a severe problem when what you are paying out, exceeds what...- skraps

USPS sucks
FedEx is sub-par, and considering the amount of packages the USPS ships, they have a pretty good record. It does not however mean that they don't really screw the pooch sometimes. I have had my fair share of bad experiences with USPS. If it wasn't for my local mailman being a totally stand up...- skraps

Magic eraser issues
A wise old sage, once mentioned that black coffee works wonders on carbon buildup. I can attest, and IMO works even better than saliva. YMMV.- skraps

Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?
I honestly don't know, Metal. Other than reading excerpts, I don't know the details. I know that my doctor--who is far from an anti-Nazi--mentioned them when I had my back surgery. Simply providing information that it could have contributed to the disk degeneration that I had and advising...- skraps

What Is Your Smoking Cadence?
For me it really depends on what I'm smoking. If it's one of my go-to regular smokes, I don't pay much attention to it. It's almost robotic. I'm like an old codger in that sense. I will stop and talk, put my pipe down to do something and let it go out often. I can make an average bowl last 2...- skraps

Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?
I will add on to what JReb said. Studies have shown a direct correlation between nicotine and degenerative disk disease, and spinal stenosis. Additionally, nicotine will directly impact your ability to heal after major surgery. Nicotine may be less harmful than the tar and chemicals found in...- skraps

Penzance
My advice, for what little it's worth... don't waste your time and energy chasing it. If you stumble on it, great. Otherwise, there are hundreds, upon hundreds of other blends out there. Amazing that being in the middle of what amounts to the golden age of tobacco, IMO, that people will obsess...- skraps

Would you advise your children to smoke a pipe?
I'm in my mid 30's, and have been smoking a pipe for at least 15 years. I am also (now only occasionally) a cigarette smoker. I don't have kids. Would I ever encourage... no. If asked, I would explain that it has health risks, that it cost money and that it is a dirty habit. After that, it is...- skraps
