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.
Currently smoking a MM General full of PS 41 cube cut.
What do you think of the 1Q? I've been thinking abt adding a bit of that to my next P&C order.Quote:

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'm finally at the stage where I can walk up to my tobacco cabinet and pull out a tin of five year old Hal o' the Wynd, so that's just what I did. Unfortunately, by my calculation, I've aged five years since I bought these tins as well...

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Lacks the sweetness that I enjoy.
Just finished 2015 McClelland Blackwoods Flake in a (date unknown) Il Ceppo '4' oval shank, taper billiard.

I like the Blackwoods but probably won't order more of the Tawny.
