Can I twist your arm for a 1 sentence review?

Sure, NP. I thought I saw a review of it somewhere on CBum, based upon which I bought some, but maybe it was just a favorable comment. I'll give a one-sentence review and a more complete one.

One-sentence review: PS 41 Cube Cut is a smooth, pleasant VA-Burley, reminiscent of Half and Half but without the sweet, medicinal flavor; burns well and the room note is who cares I never understood why people care about room note.

I'll put a more complete one in the tobacco reviews section - been planning to do a review of it so tnx for motivating me.

I enjoy 1Q a lot.
It is a mild aromatic. It has a sweet vanilla flavor.
Amazing room note. Every time I fire it up at cookouts and such everyone goes on and on about how good it smells.
I'll never be without some on hand.
I mostly smoke Virginias and Vapers but when I'm in the mood for an aro, this is most often the blend I reach for. It's good and it's cheap.
There's a reason it's the #1 selling pipe baccy out there.

I think so, depending on your flavor preferences. It seems a tad less sweeter, but I think that's because the Virginia is a little more noticeable with time; a little more grass and a touch of earth. It's also slightly stronger in the taste department. As smooth as it is fresh, I find a light improvement there, too.

A bunch of days back, the can of RY went empty, so I grabbed the remains of some PS Bullseye, threw the shreds of RY in there, reached for the can of Marlin Flake to find less than a bowl remaining, so I threw that in the Bullseye jar, mixed it up, and been smoking it all morning. Remarkably good mix of tobaccos. As I was really enjoying a bowl a little while ago, I was again subjected to a Prilosec commercial featuring Larry the Cable Guy. These commercials, taken as a group, represent practically every facet of what is objectionable about American culture to the rest of the civilized world. In this one, he is screaming aboard a jet ski (an especially annoying form of motorized entertainment) about how it fixes the side effects of obesity and overeating. This fat, loud, inconsiderate rube rides his obnoxious machine aground into a family picnic, at which point I wish the commercial ended with the guy at the BBQ pulling out a revolver, drilling Larry between the eyes, then telling the wife and kids that it's time to eat, the burgers and dogs are done.

While I can't disagree with Larry the Cable Guy being annoying, I see a trend that you just don't care for motorsports. As an avid trail rider and motorcyclist, I'm curious why the animosity? When we go out riding we stick to the dedicated trails, clean up our camp, and generally only see a handful of people while out and about. It's fun and a great way to bond with my kids and fellow dirt riders. No offense taken just curious why these machines get your goat.

I have no objections to trail riding and motorcycling. It's the activities that other people have to pay for with loss of sleep (snowmobilers whining away until 3 in the morning, gagging the air with their engines spewing out fumes that are something like 200 times as bad as an automobile), ATV riders completely devastating natural habit habit, and jet ski riders that make the beach an unpleasant place to spend your time because of the noise pollution. I also have a problem with the fact that it supports every economy but our own to engage in the aforesaid three pastimes. All the snowmobiles, ATVs, and jet skis are made in Japan or Korea, with the imported oil to fuel them running up the trade deficit to boot. Add to that the national epidemic of obesity and it would seem that there are far healthier pastimes that are just as rewarding, say cycling, golf (without the cart), sailing, hiking, canoing/kayaking, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, skate boarding...I don't like noise, I guess, especially when other people have to put up with it that so the motorized entertainment crowd can enjoy themselves. There are hidden problems, too. After the first snow falls and the snowmobilers are ready to take to the trails, a number of large birds are frightened away from the nests that they have built for winter when it was quiet and secluded. The snowmobilers chase them off those nests, and on a cold night the birds will freeze to death before they have time to build another. Not a big thing, in the bigger picture of habitat destruction, but an unhappy thought that springs to mind when I hear them out there after midnight.

Hi Paul,

Adding to Jim (Inks) comments, I've tried Orlik Golden Sliced for the first time in a long time this week. Very grassy, muted flavors that had a somewhat artificial cast. Gets better the longer I smoke with a little more pronouncement of the flavors. I've read others who feel that it gets better with age and that would be my feeling albeit from only a couple of bowls. Lacks the sweetness that I enjoy.

Smoking some Cornell & Diehl Epiphany in a cob.

Whenever I make a P&C order, I like to get an ounce of something or other I've never tried, just to expand my horizons.

It's false advertising. Epiphany was created as a match to what Einstein smoked, which was Revelation. Sutliff's Revelation Match is closer to the original than Epiphany is, although I do like that blend.

I lost my mind when PipeTobacco.Com had their 25% sale on Gawith Hoggarth bulks and ordered a pound of this tobacco just off of the description. It's become a favorite and I wish that I'd ordered many more bags.

I used to be able to handle ropes and pigtails but now their vitamin K hit is too much for me. The Curly Cut deLuxe is a sliced pigtail with a reduced nicotine hit that suits me and it still has a big and unusual flavor.

It's the activities that other people have to pay for with loss of sleep (snowmobilers whining away until 3 in the morning, gagging the air with their engines spewing out fumes that are something like 200 times as bad as an automobile), ATV riders completely devastating natural habit habit, and jet ski riders that make the beach an unpleasant place to spend your time because of the noise pollution. I also have a problem with the fact that it supports every economy but our own to engage in the aforesaid three pastimes. All the snowmobiles, ATVs, and jet skis are made in Japan or Korea, with the imported oil to fuel them running up the trade deficit to boot. Add to that the national epidemic of obesity and it would seem that there are far healthier pastimes that are just as rewarding, say cycling, golf (without the cart), sailing, hiking, canoing/kayaking, swimming, skiing, snowboarding, skate boarding...I don't like noise, I guess, especially when other people have to put up with it that so the motorized entertainment crowd can enjoy themselves. There are hidden problems, too. After the first snow falls and the snowmobilers are ready to take to the trails, a number of large birds are frightened away from the nests that they have built for winter when it was quiet and secluded. The snowmobilers chase them off those nests, and on a cold night the birds will freeze to death before they have time to build another. Not a big thing, in the bigger picture of habitat destruction, but an unhappy thought that springs to mind when I hear them out there after midnight.

I appreciate your opinion on the matter, but can't say I agree with all of your points (in Michigan anyway, I'm really not sure how other states handle their ORV's). Most ORV/Jet Ski companies are outside the US. Sea-Doo is a Canadian company. Polaris and Can-Am are here in the USA. Regarding obesity, unless you are going really slow, riding ORV's actually takes quite a bit of energy. I can personally say it's the most active thing I do and I get my ass kicked every time I go out.

Anyone that doesn't follow the laws can be a jackass and tear up the land. Here in Michigan we have extensive ORV and Snowmobile trails. As long as you are following all of the local ordinances, (which for the most part I see people doing) the land isn't torn up willy-nilly. There are even private organizations such as the Cycle Conservation Club (CCC), that promote proper use of the trails (I, however, am no longer a member of the CCC since they supported our local ORV tax increase from $16.25/bike to almost $40.00/bike....this is a different discussion though). In Michigan we also have the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) or woods cops that do patrol the trails.

The little towns in Michigan the ORV trails surround really depend on the tourism dollars that riders and snowmobilers provide, so it is a major boost to their economy. Every time I go riding I drop several hundred dollars on gas, food, etc. There are also dealers for all of the brands that employ sales/parts/mechanics people.

I can't really say what kind of effect it has on the wild life. Every year I go up is a bit different. I went up Memorial day weekend and this year the wildlife is thriving. I saw more dear, turkey, rodents, and birds then I have so far in previous. Not exactly a scientific study, but there have been years past where discussion around the campfire was about if we had to survive out here we would surely starve.

I agree all ORV's/watercraft are loud. I can see being annoyed with the noise if you live close to a lake or trail.

I have been riding for 22 years. My son is only 10 and has been riding since he was 4. My daughter (14) has been riding for a year now. It's something I love that that has brought me closer to family and friends so I tend to be a bit outspoken defending it (kind of like speaking against all the anti-tobacco ranters).

Thanks for at least reading my argument. I hope the motorsports participants in your area show a bit more courtesy.

To keep things on topic, I'm smoking H&H AJ's VaPer in my Underslung pipe, "The General".

I'm close to hating this tobacco. Horrible cut with a miserable, uneven and hot burn. Packs real easily but it falls out easily too. The good news is that I only bought a single 50 gram tin. Bad news is that I still have about 35 grams left. It is a chore to smoke.

I'm going smash it up in a mortar and pestal and then blast it with a hair dryer and then drop the powder into the bowl and see if that helps because IT CAN'T HURT!.

Unfortunately, the "real deal", no doubt written by a government committee, didn't have Mr. Trusdale helping out (my high school English teacher). He'd have torn it apart. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..." In point of fact, what you say might not be used against you at all, so the official version is a misstatement right off the bat. The original version, which includes how you behave while under arrest, is much clearer. They should have stuck with that one, but when there's government time to be wasted on redoing what needs no redoing and making everything worse in the process, they'll be all over it.

I'm smoking up the can of RY as fast as I can go. :pipe:

What's your own blend made of?

I ordered it from Pipesandcigars.com, it's 45% Red Virginia, 22% Yellow Virginia, 22% Perique, and 11% Latakia. I've hardly smoked anything else since I got it.

I thank you very much for the kind words, buddy.

Just finished the last of my open stash of Bourbon Street Match in a 2003 IMP horn Meer. I jarred the rest.

The pipe was made right over in Royal Oak. Being a local boy google Malaga pipes. I have a few of them and while I really like the way this one looks, it is the worst smoker of the lot.

The smoke effect is easy. Take the picture in the dark using a flash.

That's quite a lot of perique! I bet Uncle Nick came to the party. Any topping/flavoring?
