What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[NeverBend]

On my 2nd cobful of a blend (mixture, really) I just made from some leaves that just arrived from Larry, a grower in KY - Silver River, plus some perique, turkish imzir, and latakia (lat not from Larry). It's not too bad - spicy, smoky, slightly sweet, but a little cigaretty; next time I think I'll omit the imzir.

Morning Bruce,

Is this mixture whole that you're pressing (flake) or is it cut and you're mixing it?

You're in the state with the right name, north to be sure, but have you visited any tobacco farms? Just a thought but perhaps you could pick your own leaf or maybe trade a farmer some leaf for finished pipe tobacco (I doubt that many would have the ability to press as you do). At the quantity you use, they might be willing to give you some choice leaf - especially if you name the mixture after him/her or their farm .

Used a check in the Verizon store at the Bill Pay Kiosk. It took and then returned my check but still issued a PAID receipt. I was about to play my luck forward and pay for the whole year when a young fellow explained that this was the way it's supposed to work, it just reads the check. I need to get out more!
