    Desert Island Blend List

    I once did a month with nothing but a tin of Doblone D'Oro and didn't get sick of it so I'll go with that. A good, well rounded blend. If I tried to pick a top 5 I'd just end up with a list of 20.

    Tobaccoreview Not Accessible From Outside the US?

    They should sell the site to someone who isn't so risk averse it's a wonder they get out of bed in the morning. This is a bit much.

    Moving to Burley Blends - Advice Needed!

    The classic codger blends are a perfect entry into burley, because they smooth out the rough edges. I love SWR, but apparently the new stuff is doused in vinegar, so be careful. If you like them, branch out from there. Lots of good recommendations in this thread.

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    There's a new band out there called Greta Van Fleet. They sound a lot like Led Zeppelin. The kids love them. I don't. Because I know what Led Zeppelin is supposed to sound like. So I don't listen to Greta Van Fleet. But the kids can listen to them, and enjoy them, and it doesn't bother me. I...

    How Much Cellar Tobacco is Too Much?......or Is It?

    This is exactly why I stocked up when I did. It's less about building a "cellar" and more about protecting yourself from the inevitability of tobacco becoming harder and harder to get in this country. I'd do the same with cigars, but they are too fussy to age.

    Canadian Import Advice Help - Tax was 200%!

    My father always used to stock up on cigarettes and booze when he traveled. Consistently exceed the maximums. Told me that he was always totally honest with the customs agent, and they always waved him through, never charging him. First time I tried it, they pulled me aside and charged me the...

    Overcoming Latakia Burnout

    Less is more. I smoke lat heavy blends infrequently but when I do I really enjoy them. The more I smoke em, the less I enjoy them.

    First Smoke of the Day ?

    At home, could be anything. Only rule is that I have no taste for latakia in the morning. If I'm in the car, something simple and burley-forward.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    Sounds like my bass-ackwards country. Weed is legally available on practically every street corner, and the government sells it through mail order, but cigars and pipe tobacco are taxed at over 300% and very hard to find.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    Can we make a list of all of the things that are unhealthy but perfectly legal and socially acceptable? Fast food, candy, soft drinks, alcohol, overprescription of pharmaceuticals. In recent years sports gambling and cannabis have become legal in many jurisdictions, while we continue to vilify...

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Microeconomics 101 tells me they should be jacking up the price on these limited releases. That would serve to both reduce demand, and also give forum participants one more thing to complain about. One stone, two birds!
