Rouseco Buoy Gold

[Briar Lee]

Absolutely. I smoked American Spirits before I went back to ryo, because I can't stand the packaged brands other than Dunhill International and the Rjr nonfilter offerings, which use the original blends and high quality tobacco. You have to roll them in your fingers to loosen them up to improve the draw cause they're so stuffed. I do this trick with my ryo too, because my Powermatic has a tendency to inject too tight. Scissors, cutting up the baccy helps beyond measure. American Spirits are the only cigs that are ryo or myo quality, and the Blacks and Blues are fantastic, but my Vengeur and Windsail Platinum are fantastic affordable options for us. Vengeur matches the US oriental vabur blends that were so popular in the Golden daze of bacco.

We did smoke Winston's which are touted as additive free but taste foul and my gf reported side effects when she had to get a few packs when Windy Shi**y Cigars dropped the ball on shipping our order promptly.

In 1913 Reynolds made the first modern cigarette, Camels.

After the break up of Duke’s monopoly in 1911, leaf prices rebounded to about ten cents a pound, which would be just over $3 a pound today.

The big tobacco companies could take 30 cents worth of leaf and roll out a thousand cigarettes that sold for $4.75 per thousand retail.

And then along came an advertising genius, Edward Bernays.

Over time, brands like Player’s were no longer major players.

We pipe smokers are collateral casualties in the do gooder’s war against Big Tobacco.

But Little Tobacco can still supply the original aged leaf, thanks in part to the “deeming rule”.

Many of the value brands wear old brand labels.

LMAO at that third ad.

It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s Fritters!

What ever happened with the sampling of all the tobacco you bought? Did the pipe club meet and sample it up?

There’s a whole thread on it, somewhere.

A note to folks who’d like to splurge $52 for five pounds of Buoy Gold.

Six months aging in a heated and air conditioned garage in Missouri incredibly improves an excellent Virginia forward blend. And the “tin note” from opening a five pound bag is an overwhelmingly intoxicating rush of the aroma of hay and citrus and yummy tobaccos and it makes my garage smell like a Kinston North Carolina tobacco warehouse. The aroma alone, should sell lots of Buoy Gold.

A tiny little hole in the bag did however, leave the top of the five pound plastic bag a mite little bit dry.

I added a quarter of a sliced apple to the bag, taped the little hole, and transferred about a pound over to an empty gallon size protein shake jug with a quarter of an apple in that.

If too moist, it becomes difficult to stuff into tubes, and the taste becomes too mild, for an old leather tongued addict like me.

It’s easy to dry tobacco that’s too moist, and easy to moisten too dry tobacco with apple slices.

A pipe full of Buoy Gold may cost a nickel in a medium pipe.

A pack of cigarettes made from a five pound bag costs about 60 cents, if you buy tubes in 10,000 per case quantities.

There’s no better Virginia forward shag pipe blend, although there are slightly different ones. It is mild, in a pipe, perhaps too mild for your taste.

And it makes the best cigarettes since Player’s Medium Navy Cut or Sherman’s or American Spirit non filter, all of which used to brag about their Virginia golden bright leaf years ago, before the do gooders and the dad blasted gubbermint conspired to make them stop.

Old men have always exploited young girls. The most famous Lucky Strike girl used by Bernays, Myrna J Darby, was a teenager who died from an illegal abortion in 1929. At least she died thin.



Edward Bernays, lived to be 103 and every college student knows his name.

The do gooders and the dad blasted gubbermint do have their reasons to hate Big Tobacco.
