Mixture 79 has stood the test of time
When I am 75 and steeped in tradition, I can then apply for a hate card
I believe this:
"Mixture No.79
Manufactured by H. Sutliff Tobacco Co.
Steeped in tradition for over 70 years, Mixture 79 remains one of the finest pipe tobaccos ever produced. A mild and aromatic blend of all Burley tobaccos, uniquely cased and cut in the traditional method. Discerning pipe smokers have made this a favorite for decades"

Ok.. fine.. It's the greatest thing I ever put in my pipe, and I am just pretending to hate it because that's what all the people on TR told me to think. Happy?

I am pretending to be both serious and funny. Missed on both counts.

How in the world do you know what ground urinal cake tastes like!

I did say I was opened minded1

For what it's worth, I am drying out another bowl to a crisp and am going to try it again later. If I can get the wintergreen to subside, I might be able to smoke it.
My 3 year old son came over by my tobacco drying dish, and he looked at me with a scrunched up nose and said, "Daddy, something smells yucky".

I am going to be out and about - making a pastoral call, etc. When I finish this bowl of Double Down, I will reload the Icarus with Low Country VaBur (since that is what is in the car).

I've got some English in the 309 this morning while drooling over a new Meer that I received late yesterday, I'll be posting a photo over on the MMM thread shortly.
