A very short story...

Shortly after college, before I wised up and decided I didn't want to work in the corporate world, I applied for a position with a fairly large company. I was interviewed by the son of the owner, and junior was a smug, arrogant, egotistical, narcistic jackass, who I quickly decided i didn't want to work for. However, I decide to go along with the interview just to be polite. After asking a bunch of mostly stupid questions he leaned back in his chair and with that shit eating smug look on his face said "Give me one good reason why you think I should hire you? I stood up and said "I can't think of a fuckin one." Turned on my heel and was gone. puffy

This thread is funny because @Flatfish doesn’t smoke pipes—he joined the forum a year and a half ago to learn about pipe smoking and has stuck around, but still is not a pipe smoker.
His thread reminds me of the old commercial with the guy who says, "I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV" and then goes on to recommend using a certain medication. I think it was a cough medicine.

Presbyterian is one of a number of well-known blends floating around my study that I have yet to open. At some point, I'll pop that tin and take a sniff of the newly opened tin and remember this thread.

I've heard that it is a flavorful but distinctly mild English blend with only a modest amount of Latakia. I've never heard the tin note reported that I recall.

Finally I can comment on something.
A friend showed me what he used to smoke and passed a tin round.

So here we go. - Tin note of Presbyterian Mixture.

And my opinion is.....


Drum roll.


I wasn't keen on the smell.


So there we go. Hope you find it it useful. 🙄

A couple of months ago, after 50+ years of pipe-smoking I finally tried Presbyterian. Result: I went out and bought six more tins. Rich, smooth, cool to smoke, Love it.
