    Fall in Minnesota

    Tobacco taxes aren't fun but at least I live close to the Iowa border so I can run to Estherville and buy my wife's cigarettes. Minnesota price $74 per carton......Iowa price $55 dollars a carton. Buy 6 cartons for her once a month saves a lot of money.

    I live 5 miles west of Fairmont so about 40 minutes from you on I-90.

    October Tobacco Crawl with Greg L. Pease

    Tin note is a fermented raisin/grape must odor. I liked the moisture level right out of the tin and just rubbed it out a bit to pack my cob. Definitely picked up the fruity notes at first light and through first 1/4 of the bowl at which point the peppery spice started to slowly increase...

    Yes.....I originally ordered some Dunhill blends and they wouldn't accept the discount but they did when I changed to the Hearth and Home blends.

    What is the most "incense like" blend

    Another vote for 3 Oaks Syrian; a tasty smoke and it does leave a lingering incense quality in the air.

    Ok... baccy newbie question

    I wouldn't say that aromatics all use bad quality tobacco. I like Lane 1-Q and Peter Stokkebye's Nougat and would say that the quality of the tobacco is just fine. Another aromatic would be C&D Autumn Evening. Other tobaccos in the non aromatic/English category you might like to try would be...

    Quick Questions

    I run a pipe cleaner or 2 through my cobs right after each smoke to clean and help dry them and then I don't smoke that cob for a day. I clean with vodka soaked pipe cleaners once every 3-4 weeks. The bowl I wipe out with a paper towel or pipe tool as needed.

    Imposter in my tobacco cellar?

    Do you rub out your nuts before smoking or is it more a fold and stuff situation?

    Fall Is Clean-Up Time

    Understand the feeling......getting stuff put away for winter; will be sealing windows and prepping the snowblower over the next 2 weeks.

    Newbie flailing on whether to smoke or not!

    Just a quick question: are the pipes you collect already smoked? Could part of the "burnt" taste you get from smoking is from a pipe that hasn't been cleaned properly? Also have to agree with several of the posters that it seems you are looking for reasons pipe smoking can be bad but not...

    Favorite after dinner virginia blends

    Lately Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture has been a fairly regular after dinner smoke.

    Hope for Future Syrian Latakia?

    Unfortunately it's not just the seed that is needed but the local soil, climate, and the processing technique.

    "Treat meat eaters like smokers and start campaign to stop people eating it"

    Obviously there would be great health benefits to eating vegans as opposed to pipe smoking curmudgeons!
