What a interesting and entertaining post, English language can be so vivid,this post clear illustrates it
but yes as for the shag cut tobaccies, as far as I'am aware those Frenchmen& Netherlanders traditionally smoked nothing but shag(Cut Fine ) and moyenne pour pipes

Ah, the old CEBRP (Chemically Enhanced By Recreational Pharmaceuticals) thread starter.

Haven't seen one of those since 1967.

Good threads back in those days

Two more pics of burleyish shag cut tobaccies from central europe (Switzerland and Belgium)

I also enjoy shag cut blends as well. Smokers Havn In-Between & 20th Aniv are among my favorites.

What are some good shag cut tobaccos that are currently available in the US?

Being a former cigarette smoker, I've always shied away from shag cuts. I've noticed some blends have shag and ribbon mixed together. Margate comes to mind. Are there any true shag cut blends that are a must try?

Five Brothers is a good one. It cost too much for what it is, though.

I always go for a shag when I prepare plug tobacco.

I don’t know, but I just thought I was multitasking when I was sneaking a peek at the ballgame on TV. Dante just took it to a whole ‘nother level! ?

I think there are several threads within the OP's post.

1. Taking on the persona of General George McClelland, not actually but in the his exhortations for how to smoke the perfect bowl.

He does this over and over.
2. By and by he realizes that he has been long-winded and apologizes, and casts us as collegial pipe smokers who will understand his rambling. Now some of us are and some not.

It seems to me that perhaps the alcohol interfered with the connection that he has sought through his post. He appeals for our connection but keeps both himself and us at such a distance that this cannot occur.

I’ll be honest I barely read it.

I've been known to enjoy a bowl of Peter Stokkebye Norwegian Shag from a friends RYO pouch. A gentle VaBur with a little oriental spice. Always a pleasure.

I hate the shag cut. A dang rats nest. I prefer cake, flakes and plugs.

Now I'll just kindly march the heck out of this thread.

Likewise.
