Bengal Slices Reviews, What Gives?

Love that Love Canal!

It has that metallic/acidic taste that is so rare in pipe tobaccos these days.

Best of all, you don't need matches or a lighter. Just quickly load the bowl and it will self ignite.

:rofl:

Really a waste they cleaned that up (Love Canal, not to be confused with a love canal) , because dead bodies would decompose in two hours. Now, cleaners have to buy expensive chemicals and high test expensive barrels to do the work the canal used to do. And then haul it away. And, thanks, Breaking Bad!)

I got this one.

lol

 

[jpmcwjr]

Hah! My tin is just like that, but with different spelling. No nasty white sticker.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ha ha. That puts the “Fun” back in pipe tobacco.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

That should be in the Seductive Tobacco thread. Every dude wants to meet a fun gal.

I prefer my gals unsliced.

I ordered 1 tin of Bengal slices to try it out, I like latakia and the chunky flake (ala Mississippi River) has always worked for me.

Dan will remember this moment from the Chicago Pipe Show several years ago. We had just set up the Standard Tobacco stand and this German fellow of a certain age walks up and says "I want to buy 10 tins of Bengal Slices'. I look at him for a few seconds and then answer 'No!'. After another second or so he asks me 'Why not'. To which I replied in my best John Cleese voice 'Because you lost the war'. He walked away looking very dejected. Come Sunday I saw him and explained that we couldn't sell tobacco in Chicago but I sent him back to the Fatherland with five tins from our display stand thus avoiding some major diplomatic incident.

He later turned out to be the German ambassador.

I guess that means fun gals like fungi.

To which I replied in my best John Cleese voice 'Because you lost the war'.

Somehow I suspect you're leaving out the part where you started goose stepping.

Dan: Please don't ever get those filters repaired! :worship:

 

[jpmcwjr]

Oh, my. That scene lead to a fifteen minute clip of the best of Fawlty Towers moments. Thank you! The German guest scene was rated number one. So, is Cleese persona non grata in Germany?

 

[brian64]

So, is Cleese persona non grata in Germany?

I don't know, but he's sort of persona non grata in London now...only because he's English:

Reminds me of this quote from an earlier times:

When asked why he still lives in the UK despite working so much in the US, John Cleese had this to say:

Number one, we speak English and you don't.

Number two, when we hold a world championship for a particular sport, we invite teams from other countries.

Number three, when one meets the Head of State in England, one has to go down on one knee only.

Warren, I checked, and they no longer make filters that are sufficiently large or dense.
