Who Doesn't Enjoy Plum Pudding?

[CallMeSangy]

I have a few tons (clearly) would you like me to send you a couple hundred pounds to try? ?

Depends. How much is it going to cost me and is it worth the headache of getting it done

Tobacco is free, shipping would be probably $875 and handling charges… well if you have to ask you can’t afford it.

i do have quite a bit, if you’d like to try some without buying a tin shoot me your address in a PM ??

Can't help it, I'm trained in numbers and legends don't pay the bills.

Numbers pay the bills. Dreams are are why we live. A few years ago when I was still teaching, I asked the students to write an essay about their fantasies. NOT ONE could complete the assignment. The ability to fantasize has been replaced by machine programs and AI that have replaced organic homespun fantasy in our children. I ran this assignment for 37 years. Back in the 80s EVERY child. Oulad whip out a fantasy lickety split. Today, they can only tell me what happens in their games and the story lines that accompany them. The ability to fantasize is fundamental to human existence and problem solving. Turning our fantasy world over to others leaves me thinking that the world of our children has become a bit less, not more. This among other reasons is why I worry about the impact companies such as Meta will diminish society, and not add value.

Yup too pricey for me. the most i'd go for is a hundred. last thing'd i'd do is want to order a substantial amount then end up not favoring, even if you're right about the cost. hopefully another forum goer will take you up on your offer.

Hahahaha just shoot me your address. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.

I so enjoy Plum Pudding. And judging from its sales so do many others.

I wonder if it's just OK to like or not like a blend and post an opinion. Or are we all idiots?

How sad really. As a species I'd say we are effin' doomed.

Here's a good thing that can be said about PP: it's often in stock everywhere (whether you want it or not). ?

Too much of it can be negative to both, replacing truth with fantasy is not always a good thing. Wow, you took my post way out of context!?

I haven't noticed any posts that said otherwise but I have seen a couple that actually seemed offended that others didn't like a blend that they did.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Fair enough. sounds like the classic hipster mentality "it's popular so it's probably shit."

That's not always wrong.

Considering the statistics in the thread, you might want to rethink that. Were I still in the first few years of smoking I may have agreed but now Plum Pudding is just an unremarkable English blend in a sea of them.

Cool story Bro. Number of years of smoking aside (is that a status symbol?), I'm happy to have different likes and dislikes from a guy who doesn't like plum pudding and finds pussy to be boring. I think we both like rum though, so we can relate on that level. How about eating smoked meat and swimming in alpine lakes? Skateboarding and punk rock? Woodworking and river rafting? Vegetable gardening and natural history? I sense an interesting psychology study here. I wonder how many latakia smokers like spelunking, how many virginia smokers like birdwatching, and how many aro smokers like otter pops? Scrambled eggs or sunny side up?

I’ve only ever tried Germain’s Plum Cake…

And it’s an…?…interesting blend.

I’ve never tried the Seattle Pipe Club offering so I couldn’t say about that. People do seem to like it cellaring it up though so it must be good to some?

Probably doing so in the hopes that it decreases the risk of impotence, so as to achieve a balance when smoking it in tandem with Plum Cake...

 

[Servant King]

Could you rattle of those half a dozen blends Servant King? Inquiring minds want to know!

Didn't even see this until now. FYI you can use the "@" key before typing a member's screen name, that'll get their attention. Unless they're blind, in which case you need to resort to a completely different method entirely. Probably something involving M80s... ?‍

Sure, no problem: Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match, Balkan Sasieni, Dunhill Durbar, C&D Byzantium, GLP Meridian, H&H White Knight.

WTF is wrong with you guys?

Does anyone know offhand what the character limit is for posts on here?

Those two are one and the same.

I know...but how else am I supposed to pad my half-dozen list?

Okay, I'll play by my own self-imposed rules--nix the H&H, Wessex Balkan Supreme in its stead.

Did I? Or did I imagine a response that was more than the sum of its parts?

That comment alone proves offense that someone doesn't like a blend you do. You should be enthused, more for you. I was just implying that years ago I may have jumped at Plum Pudding being the next big thing but after smoking so many English blends, Plum Pudding just doesn't stand out.

Might want to check rule 10 while you're at it.
