Speaking of Tambolaka, have you found a new source since 4 Noggins can't get it anymore?

No, I got mine from one of the bums here, kick me for not remembering who it was. It's pretty much a once-in-a-blue-moon smoke for me, so I haven't even looked for another source.

@Bruck wasn't it @Shemp Jizzle that hooked us up with a sample?
Would love to find another source, Tambo holds a lot of promise and

I think you're right. I'll send a note to the batty young woman from whom I procured a chunk of Indian tobacco (Nicotainia Rustica) a while back. Maybe she can put her hands on some.

If you can keep me supplied with that nicotainia rustica, I've got us a corner carved out that we could move a few ounces a day if I don't get shanked......

Tnx for reminding me, I'm supposed to find the e-mail address of the woman who sold it to me. It's on my bulletin board at work, where I won't be till next week, and by then I'll probably forget again :) Meanwhile do you want some more of the Rustica? I've still got a big chunk of it, and I really don't smoke it that much.

Same here. I smoke mostly Virginias and VaPers, but Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake, is in my tobacco rotation too. I smoke all of my tobaccos in all of my pipes.

Same here. Great minds think alike! I like the classic shapes. Except that my "billiard" is a Liverpool - a billiard with a longer shank and shorter bit. Less vulcanite to keep shiny. And my bulldog is a "squat bulldog", with the shallow, broad chamber that I like.

I finally got around to inquiring about Tambolaka from the new age herb lady. I'll let y'all know if I hear anything, but I'm not holding out much hope. It's not on her list of products.
