    Does Anyone Else do This?

    My great grandmother believed that vicks vapo-rub was meant to be taken internally... my dad still can't stand even thinking of it because he remembers being force-fed spoonfuls of it while sick with a cold 😅

    Queue @Briar Lee to tell stories about his chaw-smokin' pappy ;)

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    Again, learn something new everyday lol 👍 I always used to think it was just a southern bastardization of "bale-of-wheat" 😅

    Does Anyone Else do This?

    Yes, this! I'm a gardener so I throw it in my compost bin... that along with the half-drunk beers I end up leaving on my night stand. I tell myself that since they are nourishing my veggie patch it means I'm not really wasteful... however my bank account differs in that assessment... 😂

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    Just his polite way of saying I'm kind of unhealthily obsessed when it comes to Middleton trivia 😂

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    We all have our own little obsessions haha :) Mine started around 5 years old running to hug my grandpa in his den's easy chair and being absolutely entranced by the aroma of something I was being taught to hate... wow, I think I may have just had a psychological breakthrough on the root of my...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    This is what I've heard too. That supposedly (like Middleton Walnut) it was actually named after Cherry Street in Philadelphia (Middleton's founding location) same as Walnut Street... not for cherry or walnut flavor. Now, is this true? We'll probably never know for certain. What I do know...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    What's even more crazy is that they STILL SELL the cigars! lol Literally they make the same exact tobacco and stuff it into cigars but determined that taking the time to stuff it in the same exact plastic tubs as they already use for CH and PA to be corporate waste. This is the level of myopic...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    Literally only those 2 though when Middleton's portfolio used to be almost a dozen different blends (Cherry, Walnut, Kentucky Club, London Dock, Sugar Barrel, etc.). It would honestly not surprise me to wake up one random day and see them gone forever too. They actually were both gone already...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    I was gonna say, in my experience it seems like for some unknown reason flakes come from the old world and kakes come from the new and ne'er shall the two mix lol

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    Oh don't get me started... I just got a letter from my last years taxes that apparently instead of them owing me $2,500 refund they decided I now owe them money AND penalties for not paying them the money they never told me til now that I owe them... That one I will definitely be spending my...

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    I wonder... we both reside in PA lol.. maybe I can make that extra excise tax i always had to pay work for my advantage. But honestly I've just kinda gotten to sunk cost fallacy territory with it yanno. I help run/am taking over a family business so my time is just worth more per hour at that...

    US Pipe Tobacco Companies ?

    This is my experience as well. Imo they have a few standouts like autumn evening, pirate kake, their deer tongue blends or especially *some* of their small batches... But whenever I look at most of their blends I just see 350 that are "a (dry-ass) mix of Virginia, burley, and perique" then...

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    Returned a Nording Hunter over 5 years ago now.. nothing. Then had 3 ceramic jars arrive smashed in the last order I made (only because they were the only ones left with H&H in stock) because for an almost $800 order they threw everything into a heap in a 3'x4'x3' box with no packing material...

    Farewell Sutliff Tobacco Company - Monday 3/4/25

    Not to mention the worst part.. the crappy/non-existent customer service when the consequences of all those other things end up at their logical conclusion... I could buy myself a nice Boswell or Castello with all the money they've stolen from me over the years between non-refunded returns...

    Edward G Robinson .. What Do I Do Now?

    This is the way most of these codger blends are/were, actually. It's funny because most people just say "Ehh they're drug store burley blends, all the same." In my experience most of the blends today are far more similar to each other than any of the old school blends. Why? Because many of...
