That's about what I do - 10% or less, that's some strong stuff! I'm not exactly a wimp when it comes to vitamin N, but I tried smoking straight perique once. Once. Couldn't do it.Quote:

I know where you're coming from. Since starting cigars and pipes, I've cut way back on the cigarettes. Some days none. When I smoked a bowl of Five Brothers Burley, the nicotine got my attention.Quote:

a wooss maybe
I wasn't trying to be insulting or condesending, just saying that after trying several different blends and cigars,I have only had one or two that I felt a nic hit from.Tamboluka and Old Joe Krantz, and DE Undercrowns have given me a nice feeling, but the others have left me wanting a cig afterwards.Now my favorite cigar, Felipe Dominicans are mello enough that I smoke them as I would a cigarette,yeah I inhale.Guess I lost me "Political" standing there.Quote:

Didn't think you were being insulting at all.
I kinda figured it was a tolerance thing. Yesterday i was mixing scotch and coke.first hard drink I've had in a few months.Passed out at 7pm.Now i feel like a tea-todler.Only had three.Good thing I only drink at home.Quote:

Thank you @Lynn and @pdq_wizard for the SPC Mississippi River. Very kind of you. Also received some PS Amsterdam 83, D&R 3 Sails and D&R Ryback....
http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/x...8/DSC05408.jpg
I do like me some Mississippi River bakky. I'm sure if it was HTF, it'd be regarded as the best tobacco in the world. Lucky it's easy to find... just expensive. I'm ok widdat.
Just some bulk stuff for me.
A few ounces of PS Luxury Navy Flake and a few ounces of Luxury Twist Flake.
I like'em......Quote:

Not so much concerned with provenance or brand, but how good they smoke, so we'll see as I get them into useful condition. I even have high hopes for a pipe that has a small crack in the shank. The usual issue is un-removable stingers though, so I might end up more duds than I expected. Might end up selling some back into the ebay pool.
Got in a little vaper sampler of stuff I have yet to try.
Louisiana Red
Frenchy's Sunzabitches
Scotty's VR Blend
C&D Poplar Camp

I recently bought a Forseti Natural in a bent brandy configuration. It's been a decade since I had smoked a pipe, and as a result of the passage of time (and waaaaaay too much underage drinking in college) I have no idea where my cob got to. So....here we are, spending money on something I already had once.
Where'd you get it? Post some pics; we live for pipe and tobacco pictures.Quote:

I have a pre-Republic Peterson Shamrock billiard with the P Lip and I have mixed feelings about it. I still haven't decided what my opinion really is on it.Quote:

It is beyond sick and beyond awesome.
Olie is a great guy for taking the time for working with me to make this pipe come alive.
Saw this one last night and couldn't resist.
