What are Goopers?

Fwahahahahahaha! Funny stuff Mr. Moo!


Hey, I just saw this post on a "Celebrity Rehab" website;

Hello, my name is Brian Williams and I'm a Gooper.

There's a handful of goopers I do like on occasion but I dedicate a $5 MM cob for that duty.

I've burned my tongue plenty of times on goopers, just thinking that it was what you had to put up with as a pipe smoker.
I still am partial to cherry blends and like some other aromatics if tastefully done. My first recognition of a gooper: 1983 bought a pound of E.A. Carey's golden ribbon cut that must have gotten stuck under the sprayer on the assembly line. It was so moist it was hard to imagine it burning. It would smoke but it was instant bite. I tried drying it to no avail; ended up throwing it out.

Goopers are what turned me off of pipes when I was in my late 20s/early 30s. How can people smoke this shite, I wondered. And of course I didn't know any better bcs the internet consisted of ftp and telnet at the time, and the local tobacconist was the idiot stoner son of the real tobacconist who had recently gone to that great herf in the sky.

Is this another Battle Creek story...or was it Jackson?

Nope, Royal Oak. Grew up there, then moved back in my late 20s. There was a nice tobacco store on 11 mile back in the day, but alas, ancient history. Now when I'm in town I usually just go to Wild Bill's which isn't too bad for a chain.

Funny. Grew up in Hunt. Wds, high school in RO (1951-1969) then MSU. Been in NC over 30 years via Cincinnati and Saratoga Co., NY.

I've actually found a good use for goopers - I use them as the flavor foundation for my homemade flake sometimes. Add a few leaves of VA, burley, cavendish, oriental, latakia, & usually it comes out pretty well.
