Don’t be afraid to go fairly big on things you really like. The biggest problem is as I said above, storing a blend and having it change to something you don’t like quite as much aged. Still better than just not having any access.
Nicotine is the most dangerous drug for governments, because it is the only one that no matter how much you consume, it does not make you stupid.
Wait.. aren’t you a member here?
The use of tobacco in all its forms is reduced by the stupid prohibitions and abusive taxes that are imposed on it. Both things are government issues, political decisions. People smoke less because it is increasingly difficult to do so outside the home and there are even restrictions designed so that you cannot smoke in your own home. There are countries that have decided that those born after a certain date will not be allowed to buy tobacco. At the same time, every time you buy tobacco, the state keeps an ever-larger portion of the money. If you don't find it curious that the States are increasingly tightening the rules on tobacco while increasingly liberalizing cannabis, I don't know.
What I am saying is that tobacco, although addictive and harmful, does not make you stupid, nor does it weaken your mental abilities. Many great thinkers have been smokers. Any other drug, including alcohol (forgive the license to call it a drug) reaches a point where you cease to be a functional human being.
A lot of them were on hallucinogens, cocaine, and marijuana.
I do appreciate this advice. Nothing in my cellar is much more than a year old at this point. So, I can see why you should stick to things you really like. And my cellar being so small, I'd be surprised if I had more than a year or two worth of tobacco at this point. I'm not in danger yet
Nicotine is a "smart drug."
The joke was that YOU were STG HR trying to find out who the poster was.STG HR, you’re joking like he’s from HR over at STG…
I only wanted to know, it’s nice to have someone from Mac Baren here is all. And there are many professionals in the business here, that we know by name and their positions.
PipesMagazine is this biggest pipe forum in the world, with many professional businesses as sponsors and members.
It’s not like the professionals around here are in secret…
I’m not sure I ever recall anyone from Mac Baren here before.
Had to give that one up. Raised my blood pressure to very unhealthy levels and contributed to a T wave inversion in my heart rhythm.Caffeine
Many never post on there like my recently received 10 pounds of Blend 307.
I’m right at the two year mark, and slowing paring it down to such. I’ve got couple/few I can go to anytime, but still leery of going very deep as my tastes are still evolving.
There's a lot more to it than that. Prohibition of cannabis was a dud. The only thing it did was make criminal cartels very, very wealthy. Sort of like Prohibition of alcohol in the 1920's. There's something about "forbidden fruit" that is irresistible to people.
I recall reading nearly 30 years ago, of all places Cigar Aficionado, that the large bags are made of a type of plastic that is not as permeable as regular plastic bags. Supposedly the contents will stay fresh for up to 5 years.
I guess the dogged pursuit of the cocaine trade doesn’t measure up?
