Yep. I'm going to have to move cigar money over into a pipe tobacco fund. Another $65 just spent.
Damn enablers.
So what else is good?

Well it's ok really. I mean, if you keep piping away, soon you won't have to worry about some silly cigar fund [emoji12]Quote:

If it weren't for that emoji I would have been put off. ;). My cigars are what keep me sane. I smoke one every morning, then a pipe around lunch. Then either a cigar or pipe on the way home.Quote:

I smoked a bowl of one tobacco or another and got no satisfaction as far as nicotine.
But yes, with what's on hand now I'm in good shape.
Luckily I smoke for flavor and not nicotine. I also have a really high nicotine tolerance, so even stronger blends and cigars don't do much for me. Only inhaling gives me a buzz, and I quit doing that when I dropped cigarettes and have never looked back.Quote:

Its not my main objective, but if it isn't the whole package I sometimes find the smoke lacking. A great tasting tobacco with very little nicotine is great but sometimes its not enough.
I like Scotch, but if it tasted amazing and I didn't get a buzz I'd be disappointed, you know what I mean?
Yeah I get, and at the same time, don't get what you are saying haha.Quote:

That is a big boy's kind of tobacco, but not something I feel like smoking often :pipe:
I think even RY probably has a heavier dose of Vitamin N than ABF. Anybody mention Bayou Morning Flake yet? NOT the mixture, the flake. There is definitely a confusion on tobaccoreviews, with reviewers apparently putting reviews for the latter in with the former, resulting in a lower rating strength for BMF than I feel it deserves. I found it pretty hefty, right in the Irish Flake region of the spectrum.Quote:

When one is with the lovely Lady Ennerdale, her heady perfume perhaps distracts us from everybody's sweetheart, Lady Nicotine. Ennerdale is about like RY I'd guess. Never thought about it, actually! But yeah, Ennerdale is a solid smoke.Quote:
