My rural isolation has not changed much with the "VIRUS" situation, but the isolation has become more noticeable. Here's hoping this stimulating community helps ancient me forestall the threat of dementia.

Welcome to the comunity Gusto.
What is your pipe smoking history? I am not aware of any Brick and Mortor shop in the great Basin. Where are you getting supplies?

Welcome to BoB. You may find some stimulating conversation on here, however as to forestalling dementia, no guarantees. I think a few of us old codgers are already afflicted, lol.

 

[Corncobcon]

Welcome, Gusto. Yeah, let us know what type of tobaccos you like.

 

[Haebar]

Welcome to the forum! We're glad you came!

 

[Gusto]

I can still recall several Brick & Mortar tobacconists out here, sadly in the past millennium. I've accumulated my cellar online and from my garden. I have to avoid PG and prefer Virginia and Va-Per tobaccos as well as Stonehaven, Semois, Kendal Kentucky et altera.

 

[Haebar]

Excellent photo! What type of tobacco is that? Burley?

 

[Gusto]

That crop was Lizzard Tail Orinoco.

 

[Haebar]

That crop was Lizzard Tail Orinoco.

Is that a cigar tobacco? What's it used for?

 

[Gusto]

IIRC "Orinoco" is the name John Rolfe called the tobacco he grew from Spanish seed at the Jamestown Virginia colony. Lizzard Tail is a later variety of Orinoco and has been used for pipe tobacco, cigar filler and cigarettes.
