I only WISH I could be a true Type A..,

and, I am pretty close - e.g.: I smoke mostly a lot of one blend, Prince Albert; I vastly favor one brand of pipe, Brigham, or MM when the Brigs are resting/drying; I do the Blind Old Codger Scoop right out of the outside front pocket of my nasty dog-walking coat like nobody's business; I tamp with my finger or a stick from the ground; and I am an absolute disgusting pig when it comes to pipe maintenance and the routine cleaning of my perfectly seasoned resinious pipes ...

However,

In truth, I am only about 85% Type A - mostly due to my externally beautiful, but internally nasty azz pipes - and, about 10% Type B - mostly due to my compulsive need "to know", which makes me want to disect, weigh, measure, categorize, analyze, and create mental reference files on each pipe and pipe tabak I have in my collection. Which brings us to 5% Type E - because, unlike the cleanliness of my pipes, of which there is no cleanliness - my tabaks on the other hand, are mostly stored in alphabetical order, in professional full-color fully reproduced art labelled Ball Jars, complete with those little humidifier disks afixed to the underside of each lid.

Hmmmmm... maybe what I really am is a super lazy Type B. - Sherm 'nasty pipe' Natman

Never met a Marine who was’nt similarly confused. You’d probably even enjoy a mixed up smoke like...
EGR... from a Coconut.

ROFL!!!!!!

Let me tell you brother, I loved, Loved, LOVED the tin of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend you sent me - Thank you - BUT, MY BOY, are you going to eat crow when I write my 'marshallow-free' review on ERG.

The only reason I haven't published my masterpiece de' resistance review on ERG pipe tobacco YET, is because I am now waiting for my big, fresh, 12oz. tub of heaven to be delivered by SP; just so I can be sure I didn't miss any fine note of magical wonderfulness of this amazingly delightful and wonderfully satisfying blend might still be waiting to bestow upon me.

If you'd like, I mean... just so you know that all the sarcastic bits in my pending review will be pointed directly at you... and so not embarrass you in front of the whole forum gang, I'll give you the secret reviewer name of 'Old Leather Tongue' . I'll use that when I post my scathing counter-review to your own delusion-filled review on ERG.

What else are your buddies for? LOL!!! - Sherm Natman

Shermnatman,
You smoked up that whole 3.5 ounce tin in two days?

I’m sorry I mailed it to you. You’ve got enough problems without me getting you hooked on marshmallow fluff...

Old Leather Tongue ????

Man, bring on your trifling EGR review.

Who needs friends when I got Granger!
I know, right; but it's a 1.5oz tin. I completely devoured the tin of EGR; but I knew to order the 12oz tub from SP long before i reached the half-way mark.

You should see what this Philadelphia boy can do to a large Cheese-Steak Stromboli; the local pizza join no longer allows me to dine-in when families are present. - Sherm Natman
