I bet the ones at the end of the line were really hungry by the time they made it to the MickyD's counter two weeks later.

H&H Louisiana Red in the Sasquatch Hungarian.

Well just my opinion, just like you have yours. By blend specifics I did not mean a tired detailed description of the actual cut and shape. But rather the basic specifics of taste, ease of smoke (or lack thereof) and everything, aside from pure metaphor, that describes and justifies the...

Part of this post is a tobacco advisory. I just jarred a tin of BF that spent a year in my cellar. Before that, it seems to have had a long shelf time at the e-tailer's. The wax paper wrapper was saturated with brown stain, which usually means good things have happened to this baccy. Dunno...

H&H Virginia Spice in a Savory's Argyll #140.

Richard Boone for me too! The man named Paladin. And a college boxing champion to boot; if you ever saw him throw a right hook in the movies, you'd get what I'm saying. My favorite quote from Hombre is when he looks a Paul Newman and muses: "Now what do you think Hell is going to look like?"...

You might be a bad tobacco reviewer if: You're so overcome by metaphorical usage, like "this blend is like riding on the Orient Express, with naked girls on my arm" etc., etc., that you completely omit the blend specifics and do not refer to the actual smoking experience at all. You are...

Excellent movie (haven't read the book), but strong stuff not for the faint of heart. Come to think of it, the author dropped dead of a heart attack after finishing the trilogy....

I had the same experience as the late Oscar Levant when I was about 13 years old: "I looked like Al Capone, but I lacked his compassion."

Prebyterian Mixture in a Pete Kenmare 999.

MacBaren Dark Twist Roll Cake in the Sasquatch Lugosi, a hungarian variant.

I've recently smoked several bowls of SG Celtic Talisman and I liked it very much. In fact, the only cherry blend I've ever liked. The aromatic does not overwhelm or bury the fine tobacco in this blend. Just air it a bit first after you open the tin.

Presbyterian in a Sasquatch freehand poker.

Bingo. Brand name is practically the only surviving vestige of the original product, and the only thing that makes for their current marketability. As Jonathan Swift said, referring to a vacuous orator: "someone who has forgotten the meaning of words, but is an admirable retainer of the...

I'm afraid we will continue to see more of this, increasing in strength, pretty soon. I visited a local parcel mailing/office services store today. The owner told me that due to new legislation (?) they won't be able to mail parcels containing any tobacco products. The only exception is...

latakia and perique, in pipes that condense too much when you smoke it, either because of pipe design or heavy puffing or both.

"Babysinister" is the gang name of a particularly sleazy minor character in the 90s gangster movie Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. It just caught my eye.

The following are the ones that have impressed me as quality aros (i.e., not cheap casing to conceal the taste of cheap tobacco, but rather subtly aromatized quality tobacco blends). Most need some air and drying time prior to smoking. 1. SG Celtic Talisman - the only cherry aro I've ever...

Six of seven of my pipes are 6mm filter Savinellis. Since I sometimes smoke 5-6 bowls a day, I grab the filtered pipes to avoid getting pipe tongue by the last two bowls and to cut down on the tar and nicotine, to which I've developed a low threshold in my old age. So my purpose is to filter...

She's going through (fast) where I live right now. At tropical storm strength it's more rain than wind at this point. Wind strength at about 40 m/h sustained winds. No big deal; I've seen regular summer storms stronger than this. I don't know if it will grow significantly once it's on the...
