I have no illusions about this thread and its humour. If you look at my occasional posts in this thread, they’ve nearly all been jokes. I just thought it worthy of pointing out that Rouxgaroux had direct pipe lineage. I don’t care which blend “wins.”
What?! Well, excuse me while I untangle my panties! This thread has been the only meaningful thing in my sad and pathetic life the past 2 weeks! I ask you do not belittle it, sir!
Handbags are out!!!
Alright fella, calm down. I was only trying to have a laugh…..but I can see you don’t want to go with it. lol. Lighten up FFS.
I don't believe @mingc was being serious either, but his sarcasm doesn't appear to cross the pond without entropy.
Even though I’ve never had Rouxgaroux I’m sure it’s terrible
I think @Servant King just died a little reading that.
FVF is on 2 points.
Oh look, it's just turned midnight here.
FVF -2
FVF is now dead.

No, but I did have to rinse my eyeballs in Everclear just to dislodge the layer of filth from them. Who knew it could build up so fast!
That’s more like it, good show!
Although I believe the correct parlance for sensitive Canadian's like Dan Ackroyd & others is actually ‘#MeToo!’
I'm going to stick with my now-traditional Rouxgaroux down twoux vote.

We're down to six and at this point, only one blend has double digits. For the first time in the game, Dark Bird's Eye takes the lead. This is the moment @cshubhra has been waiting for, the moment he's going to stab each and every one of you in the back with the brand new Kershaw he's been waiting to give a go. Or maybe his ice pick. Either way, it won't be pleasant...
In other news, a titan has fallen. Full Virginia Flake, one of the most reputed tobaccos on the market, fell prey to a band of marauders earlier this afternoon. Very few people know this, but in 1665, as Isaac Newton watched an apple falling from the tree and pondered upon the universal laws governing the universe as pertains to gravity, he was smoking Samuel Gawith's Full Virginia Flake.
Even fewer know that just a couple centuries sooner, in 1492, Christopher Columbus spotted through his meager looking-device a quaint collective of American Natives along the lush shoreline of the New World. They were passing a pipe to and fro, as peacefully and contentedly as an orange tabby lounging on a trampoline in the sun. There they were, toking on this illustrious Gawith leaf, on a hot-pressed flake chock full of the finest Virginias. Indeed, even fewer amongst these already-few know that, several generations later, when Native tribes arrived at the first Thanksgiving armed with deep-fried turkeys, fixin's, and an array of stone-tipped arrows, they carried several tins of FVF in tow.
Indeed, these first celebrants smoked Full Virginia Flakes, delicately folded and packed into army-mount Petersons. They spoke of a new world, a new order, a new peace. They sought tranquility before the reality of violence set in as suddenly and faintly as rigor mortis.
Some might argue that these facts are unknown simply because they're not true. But I'd argue that they're unknown because nobody looked hard enough. The only way to properly America is to Virginia, and to do so fully. R.I.P!

Exactly! I’ve never smoked it either.
I thought they smoked Peretti Thanksgiving Day on the first Thanksgiving
Very close. Peretti's Thanksgiving is what William Seward was smoking when Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. It's an easy mistake to make, though. That's why those questions have been removed from the US Nationalization tests.
Ernie's gonna send you something nasty in the mail if you keep this up, you know...
I, however, am above such reactionary measures.
Just kidding. Dark Bird's Eye's gonna get it...
