What can you say about BH that hasn't been said already? He told me he was sending "a few" burley blends to give me an idea of what is out there. Brother, a FEW is, say, 2-3. 12 is a BOATLOAD! The quality and variety of things he sent is EPIC. Though, I wonder if puros made him an offer he...

Fast shipping, expertly packaged, extras, and complex trade/sale made very easy and trouble-free. A++ True BoB spirit!

Absolutely! Reviews are a given! That said, either John is that humble or he knew Simple Man was sending me some, Storm Front was found in another envelope. Review forthcoming. :D

Brilliantly!

Found it on P & Cs for $92 and I got to indulge a little TAD. I mean, you know, I was THERE, right? Plus I got free shipping. It's in my cart.

Hell, I thought it was a goof because someone got wind of me being Greek! Wouldn't want to instigate a conflict of such epic proportions so early in what sure to be a short-lived tenure on here if I keep this up. ;) I'm an "early harvest" olive oil man myself, but I am the kind of food snob...

Well how does one argue with that kind of reasoning, especially from a mentor? (Bic? Look, are some things even I won't do) Ok, I'm convinced. Like Tony Montana said, "Eff the effing Diaz brothers!" :D

1) does grain alcohol leave a flavor behind? Is Everclear the standard? 2) I saw a video where after a guy cleaned his pipe he finger-rubbed it with olive oil. I didn't even think of a post-clean finish! (there's so much to learn and I tend to over think and be a little OCD about such things)...

Well, I can't stand the taste of a Zippo and new matches suck. I am at the place where I want to invest in a "proper" pipe lighter. I can't decide between the IM CORONA or similar Xikar Pipeline. If i came down to aesthetics alone, the "OB" would win hands down. But throw in price, not having...

Dark Birdseye in Peterson

Agreed. Books are a lighting rod into ourselves about the world, past, present, and future. I cannot imagine what my life and sensibilities would be not having read certain books. Sometimes I think "important" books (to the person) is often more interesting than favorite. "Illusions" by...

I love and agree with all the postings. Being Greek and my dad being sort of a big deal, I met Telly Savalas at a Greek Restaurant in Chicago and he was a hoot. He was chomping on scenery and charming the panties off of a lot of women. Sunday afternoons were RESERVED for The Rifleman! What...

That line just burns into you like everything else in that film. You feel like you can smell a frothy mix of secrets, alcohol, squalor, and evil. LOVED IT!

Speaking of COBS, got one in the mail today! bwahahahahaha!!!!!!

John sent me 7/8 burley blends after expressing my enjoyment and a desire to explore options with regard to this kind of tobacco. In 2 days a packed envelope was at my doorstep, bursting at the seams with tobacco. John, thanks for sharing and I promise to pay it forward to another newb I can...

DAMN and shame on me. EVERYTHING by DFW is a favorite and Infinite Jest is a masterpiece.

PIPES: Ryan Quagliata, GIO pipe (commissioned and waiting), and some cobs. Oh, and a meer church. TOBACCO: GLP, SG, UHLE'S, MacBaren's and LOTS of Esoterica stuff (EVERYTHING) :)

and was robbed of the Oscar for best actress, supporting actor, and writer and director. damn shame.

Was hooked after the 20 minutes. But I am movie at a slower place than you E, so, you know. no SPOILERS!
