This thread teeters...I dare say entices one to disregard any rules prohibiting politics and religion. And yet, still we smoke, that is until the whole thread goes up in smoke. Say Amen, Somebody!!!

I've been anxiously looking at this thread to see when it was going to derail. Surprisingly, we're all still here.
This thread has been awesome...
Funny, educational, subliminal, “reserved” humor and commentary - NO lines crossed...
Sooo good...don’t close it down just yet!

The Lutherans may take offense. Aren't they German made?
Should I pair the tobacco blend with the cocktail of the same name?
They're fine. Even when the Lutherans get upset, eventually they just go to the basement for coffee and a little coffeecake....at least the ones in Lake Wobegone do.
Mixing scotch with ginger ale. What will be next? Perique with burley?
There has to be a prize for mentioning Lake Wobegon in a post!
Just to obfuscate a little more, I should point out that while the “reformed” label is indeed because of the reformation, not all mainline Protestants refer to themselves as “reformed”. The reformed tradition grew out of the teachings of the “other” great reformer, John Calvin, so generally Lutherans and Episcopalians/Anglicans don’t refer to themselves as “reformed”. After Calvin’s theocracy in Geneva, the reformed tradition took seed particularly in the low country (now called Holland) and in Scotland. Branches of American Protestantism that grew out of the Holland tradition include Dutch Reformed and Congregationalism (ok, it’s a little more complicated than that, but that’s the short answer), while American Presbyterianism principally grew out of the teachings of John Knox in Scotland.
So, every good Presbyterian pipe smoker should probably smoke some Scottish mixtures, just like every good Lutheran pipe smoker should probably own a Vauen.

I used to live there. Ok, maybe not, but every small town in Minnesota is a little bit Lake Wobegon. And I actually did perform on Prairie Home Companion back in college!
Pentecostals need long stem pipes otherwise they have tongues of fire. I read that somewhere.
Good heavens; we have a schism.

Catholic means universal. ??
Didn't know Vauen was Bavarian. In that case, Vauen is another one to add to the list.
