    FDA rules announced

    Cost for getting a "new" blend approved will be at the least several hundred thousand to close to a million dollars per the FDA. That should pay for more FDA personnel; must feed the monster.

    FDA rules announced

    We could mail a copy of John Stuart Mill's "On Liberty" to each of our congress members since liberty has definitely been chained. The FDA is just continuing the movement away from individual choice and responsibility.

    A Strang Turn of Events

    That is a turkey vulture; size might be confusing since it is difficult to gauge height of flight. Turkey vultures also group up on a corpse whereas having 10 hawks together like that would be rare unless during migration.

    How To Deal With Controversial Opinions

    Again a silly argument; climate does change over time. This little rock has been going through all sorts of climate change over the billions of years it has existed. The question isn't does climate change exist but what impact do we little viruses have on climate change. I tend to think we do...

    Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture Tobacco Review

    I happen to enjoy Elizabethan Mixture quite a bit. I was lucky enough to have a friend send some 3 year old EM and it definitely was better with age. Smooth and tasty plus the Dunhill ribbon is easy to pack and light and enjoy.

    FDA rules announced

    About the No Free Samples rule: pretty easy to circumvent. Just post a sign saying samples cost a penny and leave a an open roll of pennies on your table. Big Brother is appeased! Might even get by with a $1 tobacco sampling cover charge when you attend a pipe show.

    FDA rules announced

    Reading through various articles looks like deeming process will take some time to get running; maybe a 1-2 year window that allows sales while current blends goes through process. This may effect any blend that has come to market since 2009. Also applies to our cigar smoking brethren. New...

    States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)

    Kind of funny that this comes up today; today I made my monthly trip to Iowa to buy my wife's cigarettes for the month. 40 mile round trip saves her $100 dollars on 5 cartons. Since the Minnesota/Iowa border is very rural in my area where would you put a "customs" post....half a section over...
