    Taste all the same

    Reverendsasquat: makes perfect sense. I just opened a tin of Mississippi Mud to see if I could taste any difference from Bed & Breakfast? Nope, tasted the same and it's getting frustrating. So I am going to just stay on the Mississippi Mud per your suggestion and then switch to another blend.

    Taste all the same

    Thanks everyone for your advice. It's been almost a year since my last cig and I can already tell the difference in my health. No more coughing and wheezing during the day. I remembered how much I enjoyed smoking a pipe while in the Navy back in the early 80's. So I decided to give it...

    Taste all the same

    Prior to taking up pipe smoking I was a cigarette smoker for about 14 yrs. It's been a year since I last smoked a cigarette, but for some reason I cannot differentiate the taste in some of the tobaccos that I have tried. The aromatics are the only ones that I seem to be able to taste the...

    Hot Texas Summer

    Lived in Cypress and along the coastal area for over 20 years. I remember it seemed at times of sweating in the mornings before the sun came up. Of course this was due to the humidity. Now i'am retired in Rionegro, Colombia and the hottest it gets is around 80 degs and in the lower 50's at...

    What Are You Reading?

    Travelergypsy: I tried a kindle many years ago but there's something about holding a book. When I am done reading a book I would donate the books to the church. Now, I may just donate the boos here in Colombia to a library. I will be back in the states in November and will just have to load...

    What Are You Reading?

    Iron Coffin about a true account of German U Boat commander in WW II. I want to read more, but finding books in the English language is hard to find in Colombia and shipping costs from Amazon is pretty costly. So I pace myself to one book per month.

    Presbyterian Mixture - What do you guys think?
