    Mac Baren HH Highland

    This notion that I have seen batted around more than once about Mac Baren being for some exclusive, esoteric, avant garde, elite, masters of pipe smoking on whichever side of the Rio Grande has been tossed about before and is a genuine con. Oh lad you must not be smokin the bloody thin right ye...

    Massage vs. Pipe

    Massage is a Sexual energy trade. There just happen to be strict boundaries with it. This is the true reality of it that people don't want to own up to, but of course we are living in an age of Ego and mass lies. If you have never had hands laid on by a very skilled operator or a shaman, you...

    Giving a "bad" Pipe a Second Chance

    I have a really bad pipe I am ready to toss into a fully active wood stove and see what happens Its really that bad..... Another pipe from, yes that country....... God the arrogance of that clan..... Any Grabow would be a million times better I had a Grabow in my youth in fact that was a...

    Filter or no filter?

    No Filter. No need to overcomplicate things.

    I think it's funny that....

    I would not smoke a straight pipe if it was the last pipe on Earth....

    Aurora

    Ahh yes, Substance " N " The Wilderness Blend mentioned recently seems to have more of that going on. If you are down for sunstance N, I can recc. C&D Briar Fox and or Blockade Runner. These 2 seem to have no shortage of that going on. However, the character of the smoke is not near as...

    Mac Baren HH Highland

    I did not say anything about " bite." This effect is something else, and there has been some discussion on the forum by some few other members although it is not well defined. As thus what is being described is somwhat abstract if not esoteric in nature. I had a pipe in my mouth 45 years ago.

    Mac Baren HH Highland

    Hmmm after repeated smoking this one is falling out of favor...... Seems to have a character that attacks the tongue without provocation. Also the cut is real long and rough. So not yet have I found a Mac Baren blend that I really can stay with, although I am wanting to revisit HH Acadian...

    Aurora

    This is a good rich Virginia " blend " that is not overpowering and can be smoked at any time of the day. Mght be classed as one of those you can smoke all day as is sometimes said. Recommended.

    Wilderness

    By McClelland Highly Recommended This one has lots of Richness and a depth of several different tobaccos going on in the mix Comes off like a very savory English, but not overpowering Seems to get better after having tried say 3-4x

    Blockade Runner

    By C&D.... Comes off like Briar Fox Cake soaked in rum Not necessarily a bad thing. Same strong VA loaded with ' N ' very similar character A bit more subdued in taste but a kick nontheless

    Aurora

    By McClelland A well made Virginia Suggested. All the best

    Blue Moon Vs. Sweet Water Blue?

    Blue Moon is not a bad beer in that style, but the original Celis White was a masterpiece by a Belgian Brewmaster whose operation was then located in Texas, my home state. I have heard that that beer will be coming back, and if brewed true to Style then it should be much sought after. There is...

    Amphora

    Amphora was one of the first things I ever smoked and back in that day it was good.....something definitely above average in quality. It was the plain version. This oufit shows another type that may be worth trying: http://rivercitycigarco.com/pipe_tobacco/Pipe%20Tobacco.html

    Electric Shavers

    The old Norelco models were the best in that class, but that company got absorbed by something else and they redesigned and lowered the RPM. So the current product does not compare to the former. They have their uses, but nothing is as close and clean as a blade. SC

    Nording Freehand

    If you are into pipes, these can't be beat. They are Rock Solid, elegant,and good looking if you go for that type. The price is low for what they deliver. Highly recommended. I have not sampled the Hunter tobaccos by Nording. All the best SC

    Value, Package Presentation, etc.

    Although I did not care for the 1st Mac Baren blend I tried, I liked the next. Also if I were to revisit the 1st I bet it may have grown on me. The one thing I like about Mac Baren definitely is the quantity of tobacco in a tin seems better than many for the dollar. The quality of the tin is...
