You’re making me want to finish Ratzinger’s Eschatology. Heavy chewing…

I've loved reading Ratzinger over the last few years. This short book of his is great. Haven't read his Eschatology yet, but it's on my list!

Good afternoon all, and T.G.I.F!! Another work week is done and dusted, and I’m ready to put my feet up. A bowl of Cringle Flake 2020 in my no name meer and a pour of rye, will get the festivities started. Have a good one!

Cheers!



I really like the tater sticker on the back of this bottle.

Did a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem.

This is a complex question, I will try to answer it as simply as possible.
The purchase，production and sales of tobacco in China are monopolized by a state-owned enterprise, with a pre tax profit of nearly 170 billion US dollars. The majority of its products are cigarettes. In China, the vast majority of smokers smoke cigarettes, with fewer cigar smokers and fewer pipe smokers.
The private production and sales of tobacco products are illegal activities. But many tobacco farmers sell online through social media advertising, and these tobacco farmers have the ability to handle tobacco (Virginia/burley) and can provide finished tobacco for Roll Your Own production. (I have a semi-automatic electric cigarette maker) Of course, you can also ask them to cut tobacco according to the standard for pipe tobacco.
That's it, You can get a simple semi-finished, homemade Virginia pipe tobacco, but you can't get a nightcap or 965

That's very interesting. I know China grows the most tobacco in the world, by far, but have no idea what local pipe tobacco is sold there. It looks like if you just grow and sell a small amount, the authorities will ignore you. I don't think the authorities are that tolerant in the US.
