If I Could ask Three Questions...

[anotherbob]

of head blenders from my favorite companies they would be.
1. what blend did you make that you're proudest of? Not favorite just personally most proud of blending. Maybe trickiest to get right or get the most praise for.
2. which of your blends most fits this idea that even if everyone else hated it you'd blend it for your self to smoke.
3. which blend of yours is the success of most personally perplexing or in other words your least favorite.

Ummm, are you wanting all of us to answer these questions?

nope just seeing what it shakes up. Such as questions other people would ask, even answers if anyone feels like it. Peoples opinions on different blends they had nothing to do with, or in other words "you know whatever shakes out".

My question would be:

how much stuff are you sitting on to sell personally on the secondary market after the deeming regs or tax hikes come in to play?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Ok…

Whatcha thinking about?
What’s your favorite color?
What tobacco variety is most threatened for future blending needs?
What do you really think of the band “Yes”? I mean, really really?
Do you ever smoke in the shower?

I think blenders take their work as an art form so they'd come up with lots of creative answers and some push back on some of these. The questions would make good interviews for several of our favorite celebrity blenders. I think most of them spend months or years on each blend, unless they are under some kind of deadline imposed by someone else. Some might dismiss the questions out of hand, feeling the questions were invasive. Some would probably want softball questions on which they could expand and elaborate their own way. I think these questions could be rephrased to sound more open-ended and more inviting. Have you ever made a blend that seemed to only appeal to you? Etc.

No, more like why do you call it ready rubbed when it's not ready at all?!?!?

I still spend 15 minutes obliterating the stuff just to make it smokable.

Here are some of my questions.

To R.Will, why the hell did you ever stop making Brigham Klondike Gold?
To K&K, why do you put misleading labels on the back of your tins?
To STG, why haven't you hired Jesse to fix Escudo, I know he would be more than willing.

If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

 

[hauntedmyst]

So you made Captain Black Grape, but no Orange, Apple or Root beer? What gives? Are you insane? Or just a pinko commie?

Why do hot dogs come in packages of 10 while hot dog buns come in packages of 8?

I was actually asked that one at a job interview.

One. However, it requires a substantial element of surprise.

1. Can tobacco feel pain? How can you tell?

2. What happens if you beat someone half to death, twice?

3. If I say something alone in the woods and my wife can’t hear me, am I still wrong?

MacBaren uses a one armed, blind man. — I don’t know if he works there any longer.

Depends on how hard you throw the chickens.

Rumor is the hot dog debacle stems from the initial manufacturing getting the counts wrong on the plates.

Neither the bun nor dog company wanted to pay to re-mold the plates. The issue has since been resolved by several other companies.

where as my issue is with the rub part. I find ready rub to be ready as is to go straight into the pipe. Honestly I find it the best "cut" for packing and smoking.
