    In Praise of the Classic SWRA

    SWRA is a time honored classic although I heard some rumblings online that the taste has changed due to manufacturer processes. Anyone got any intel on potential SWR/SWRA recent changes? My tub is a few years old.

    Medical News Update

    Favorite Youtube Channel?

    I like muttonchop on 2x speed. Heck! I watch most YouTube on 2x speed due to the excessive yammering, hemming, hawing, sighing…and other other sundry things I don’t care to dwell on. GTTFP. 😉 I’ll also throw a comment out about low country accents. That voice, and its feminine (and better)...

    What's your Ideal Grinder?

    Flakes get folded and stuffed (thanks Chasing Embers), any thing else gets crumbled by hand.

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    I haven’t bought any in a few years because I stocked up. Is SWR/A really changed in the last year?

    Ok. So Escudo or Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls

    There is (was) as post on here saying that they are made the exact same and labeled differently. Any of your old timers in the know remember that?

    Your First Briar

    If possible, pick up a Grabow, or a used Grabow off eBay. Won’t break the bank and will get you into a good piece of briar.
