Connections Between Pipe Tobacco and Elevated PSA
Dunno, but I'm still in awe at the mechanism which clamps the urethra shut - it's like the three prongs of a drill chuck and operates in the same manner. That's cystoscopies for ya, a journey into the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.- BingBong

A long lunch today
Just wondering, did the cheeses come from La Fromagerie? They got me into a serious cheese habit for some years, although the plague broke that in 2020 and poor old Eric died of unrelated causes; haven't been in since, but now you make me realise my error.- BingBong

Aromatics - I just need to accept it
Semi-aros like University Flake or Erinmore are ok now and again, Ennerdale Flake for the full enchilada. But I have so much non-aro, as such, to try, they seldom get my attention. Strictly speaking, English blends are aromatics, but they're also only occasional smokes for me at the moment.- BingBong

Is An Itchy Beard Worth It
Never had an issue, but then, I only use Pears® soap, yes you read that right, Pears® with mint extracts, the translucent blue marvel leaving my face and beard minty fresh! That's it, Pears® *not sponsored in any way. Where's my £, guys? C'mon...- BingBong

Mosquitoes
The Scots would stare at you with incredulity and think you all big girls' blouses. They have something way worse, the Highland Midge. These are much smaller than skeeters, but that only means that there are far more per cubic yard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_midge "Rain does not...- BingBong

Enjoying Virginias; Where Do I Go From Here?
Yes, I agree that the Rattray trio are VaKyPer and outside the straight va realm. For some reason, I can't abide SG Best Brown, while I love FVF - my brown flake goto is Germain's, which is also a straight va (despite frequent claims otherwise).- BingBong

Enjoying Virginias; Where Do I Go From Here?
Yes, folded and stuffed flakes have more intensity, for me anyway. I used to break them up and rub them out, but something @simong said changed my ways for the better - I even fold and stuff wet FVF.- BingBong

Enjoying Virginias; Where Do I Go From Here?
F&T Vintage is the best of their flakes, imho. I keep one tin around. Do not be put off from FVF either, it's very very good and, if you are lunting but need to pop in and out of nonsmoking zones, very controllable; also, ages beautifully.- BingBong
