The Radical Smoker Speaks Out!

I smoke a pipe, I smoke in private and in public. I smoke in permitted places and with protest gladly walk across the grounds and smoke my pipe in protest to their "No Tobacco on Campus" policy. By the way I have done this right in front of several county police cars before with no reprimand. I am just sick and tired of the prejudice that smokers are under.

Granted there are some smokers who not only abuse the privilege to smoke, but befoul the areas with inconsideration. So to all my fellow pipers, I say smoke it while you got it. The pleasure police are out there and are seeking to make us a minority group. Their impact on us is considerable while most of us are considerate of others.

Tobacco is a number one cash crop in some states in the US and is a thriving business for thousands. Some of the finest tobacco are US blends although I will have to admit a particular liking for the Petersen brand of Tobacco as well as the Samuel Gawith collection. I will be posting from time to time here about blends I have smoked and liked and I will recommend brands as well.

Right now I'm smoking a bowl of "Old Toby", yes "the finest weed in the South Farthing." to quote Bilbo Baggins. The blend comes from http://www.justforhim.com and is well worth the price! I recommend to you the sampler pack to try all the "Lord of the Ring" blends then when you do purchase do the most economical way and purchase a pound. The cost savings is worth it.

"Old Toby" is a smooth blend with little to no bite. It had a thick woodsy aroma and flavour and is deeply satisfying to me as I like a good Burley. More postings coming soon.
