    Why do B&Ms Rebrand Bulk Tobacco?

    My local B&M are not rebrands. He keeps records of all hand blends that sell well over the years. Uses exclusive names so there is no confusion, some taste the same as factory blends that use the same types of tobacco.

    The Odor Of Pipe Tobacco

    I have oftentimes wondered why I can’t smell the aroma from a blend while smoking. It only time my senses can pick up on it is when I return to the room and return. Some reviews do make mention smell that lingers in the air. Can anyone explain this phenomenon ?

    Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapses.

    Tragic loss of lives and a hell of a way to get a new bridge. I am glad that I don’t have any stock in the shipping company. Many Captains often lie to the harbor guide about condition of the ship.

    Do You have a Pipe You can’t Bring Yourself to Smoke?

    I would turn the question around. Pipe that I should not have smoked. I bought this Caminetto as kind of an investment, smoked it a few times, not to my liking. The pipe over the years has now become a collector and increased in value more so when unsmoked.

    Tyson vs Paul

    Always cheered for any one fighting Ali. His hand holds behind the neck always turned me off, he should have lost enough points to loose any fight. Rope a dope tactic was not boxing. The only thing he had going for him was able to take a body punch and long reach.

    I was surprised when I purchased a handmade at auction and it was fitted with a twin bore stem. Did some research and found that even Offered this feature on special order.
