Notwithstanding the utter unlikelihood of this assertion, I will say that I don't feel any smarter or dumber for the experience.
Not a bad blend, but it's a somewhat new cob and I'm still getting a bit of the soggy corn flavor.
MacBaren Modern Virginia in a post WW2 Pre-Republic Peterson Dublin straight smooth X155 Bulldog with a sterling silver band. Have enough left for two bowls.

Listing this some minutes early: Union Leader Match in an early smooth Radice Tiger Eye G medium bend pipe with a bamboo-style carving on the shank. Have enough left for a bowl or so.
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. In fact, I'm a few minutes away from smoking Epiphany in a 1975 full bend black Dunhill Shell 52021 with a black vulcanite stem. Have enough left for one more bowl.Quote:

Smoking this bowl in honor of my aunt, Honey (Althea), who passed (suddenly) this morning at 83, and her boys David, Lee and Andrew. Here's to you Honey!
Sorry for your loss. Never ready to lose one, but sounds like you got to enjoy her for many years.Quote:

Thanks for the kind words George. Honey was a tough lady and a good aunt. I spoke with Denise, Honey's older sister, and she sounded good this morning but I know that she'll be hurting so I'll keep tabs on her.Quote:

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.

@JimInks , how was the La Gloria (a favorite stick on mine)?

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.Quote:

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".

F&K Lancer Slices in a Marxman bulldog
Half way through this bowl of Peter Heinrichs Curly Block in a mid-1970s black rusticated straight Savinelli Estella 915 KS billiard. Have enough for one more bowl.
So far today I've had:
- a bowl of H&H Virginia Spice in a no-name flea market briar
- a bowl of Frog Morton in a MM Huck Finn
- a bowl of Old Shenandoah Bootlegged in a MM Legend
I'm probably not finished. I'm kind of in a Virginia mood. Thinking maybe some McClelland Red Cake.
The most cigars that I ever bought at one time, for myself, was 17 boxes of La Gloria Cubana. The Wavells were $1.25 and about to go up in price so I stocked up. Then the Cigar Boom happened.Quote:

I used to smoke a lot of cigars amongst my pipe smoking, but the cigar boom put a crimp in that. I still have a nice stash of cigars in my humidors, aging until they die! :stogie:Quote:
