I'll get around to that thread..but right now I need some tobacco, an I simply thought maybe you guys..who I consider experts here would be able to let me try a sampler(pinch) of what I see you posting, I didnt ask for free.....to me it would be something special...I looked on line at tobaccos last night an if I bought from what I read I would have spent a few hundred dollars last night.....BUT a BUM is helping me out an for that I am very grateful...its probably his advice which is going to shape my experience in pipe smokin....maybe this is a little testie to some, but at 73 I dont have time to play around..now I got to check with a rope maker here an see if he is willin to let me try that lushis rope we talked about....
