    What (Non Aro) Pipe Tobaccos is the Best in Your Opinions?

    That was my favorite (along with their Butera Blended Flake and Virginia No. 24). You must be a saintly fellow.....or at least have great taste.

    Pipe Smoking in the Deer Stand...

    If the smoking bothers the deer in your area, try running your chainsaw to offset the smoke. The last day we did saw work, the deer were trying to climb in our back pockets.

As far as Oriental it's all over the board. I've seen blends with and without Latakia listed as Oriental...

    Rattray's 1990's?

    As already stated, those are definitely only 10ish. Until the late 1990's/early 2000's, James B Russell of New Jersey was importer and the label paper was a matte finish with large printing. The tobacco was McConnell's into the 1990's, but some of the last JBR was K&K with a made in Germany...

    What are You Reading Now?

    IN my opinion, For Whom the Bell Tolls is the best of Papa and of that generation.

    It's hard to imagine TV without Alex, I really cannot remember TV without him.....at least when I wasn't on a steady Sesame Street diet. Six years longer than Carson. Thanks Trebek:)

    So, I've Been Using Lambs Navy Rum to Clean...

    I use Everclear unless there is a is a cheaper 190 proof grain alcohol available. I have used overproof rum if I was out of Everclear. It left a slight rum taste for a smoke or two....but I like rum tobaccos so it was a win.

    How Much Tobacco You Buy on Each Order

    Mostly in the $100-125 range. I think the most I've spent in one order was $475 when McClelland announced they were shutting their doors.
