Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?
@yanoJL - That was excellent, and I thank you for responding with that very informative video; however, I am trying to clear up the confusion is specifically in regard to what what man from MacBaren calls: Yellow Filler Virginia; and where I am trying to learn if these other names - Bright...- shermnatman

Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?
Thanks @jvnshr. So your understanding is that regardless whether a grower/distributor calls it Bright, Yellow, Lemon, or, Golden, etc, it is the same varietal, culled from the same part of the stalk, and the color is merely used as a marketing name which reflects the relative richness of the...- shermnatman

The Contrarian Nature of Internet Posts
And, thankfully we don't have to watch the manifest equivalent of their passive aggressiveness enacted physically in real life... as I most of it would look like this: NOT a pretty picture; nor, a proud moment for either party involved. :ROFLMAO: - Sherm Natman- shermnatman

How dry is "too dry"?
First off, Welcome to the forums. Secondly, having been where you have been, here is what I can offer you: Over time you will likely find that you enjoy different tobaccos and blends at different humidity levels; therefore, you may discover there is not one perfect-fits-all humidity level...- shermnatman

The Contrarian Nature of Internet Posts
Sure, when someone is looking for serious info, those who would reflexively opine to the contrary while offering zero serviceable information to the question-poser are rather like a hemorrhoid - However, you can always choose to simply not read their post, and hope that a more helpful Brother...- shermnatman

Bright, Yellow, Lemon Virginias - Differences?
After years of being a "Burley Man" - Yes, I think that looks funny in-print too :LOL: - I am now getting into the contributions and merits of "VIRGINIAS" into my blending experiments. Because Burley was always my Base Tobacco of choice, I never paid much attention to Virginia specs beyond...- shermnatman

Your All Time Favorite 3 TV Series
Hahahaha! Great citation Tom! Fred G. Sandford's deceased wife's name was actually Elizabeth "I'm coming to join ya, honey!' Sanford.

Show Off Your Bulldogs/Rhodesians
Out of my entire pipe collection I only own 1. It's a Molina Barasso unfinished sandblasted, which was very very light in color as produced; however, Wifey applied some of her alcohol-based dyes to it - one darker than the other - and it really made the texture of the pipe pop. What's even...- shermnatman

What is this?
As a known "Brigham Man" around here, you Sir are in possession of a very fine Brigham-branded leather tobacco pouch! I've had mine for years - came as part of the 2018 Brigham Christmas Pipe Stater kit in a large Brigham gift tin - and I love it! Now, you need to get either the 2-pipe and the...- shermnatman

Your All Time Favorite 3 TV Series
In nearly every case that I know of, I would have to agree with you; HOWEVER, there is one remake of a British TV Show - Steptoe & Son - whereby the American re-make version of the show premise crushes that opinion handily. Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. Redd Foxx as Freg G. Sanford in Sanford &...- shermnatman

I Suspect Most Of Us Are Not Average
I scored a 16; however, it makes me realize that i really haven't been anywhere in the last 20 years. I think I'm good with that. Pretty much all my hearts-desires are right here at home. - Sherm Natman "Niagara Falls... Slowly I turned..."- shermnatman

Way back in the early/mid-80s, I worked for Shulman Record Company of Cinnaminson, Nj - these folks owned/operated the Listening Booth and the Wall-To-Wall Sound stores in nearly every mall in our region.

Details- Critical or Not?
The main thing to keep in mind is to simply get the pipe lit and smoke the dried vegetable-matter you have put in there; and, hopefully, enjoy it. Get it done however you get it done, and so the pipe smokes well. - That's the goal, anyway. As far as the How You Actually Do That is concerned...- shermnatman

Science of Plume/Bloom/Crystals on Tobacco
You know, all this talk of Chemistry reminds me of when I was awarded my Boy Scout Merit Badge for Chemistry during the summer I turned 13. At first, didn't recognize what it was for.
