    How to Stop Tobacco from Aging?

    Title edited for caps and brevity.

    Boswell Northwoods

    I like it a lot. It reminds me of the original Frog Morton which was the first pipe tobacco I ever lit up. I think a lot of people under rate it because it's a crossover blend and they think of that genre as something that you're supposed to mature out of. And maybe that's true for them. But...

    Cabbies Mixture in a cute little bamboo brandy by Mike Sebastian Bay. Both came from The Danish Pipe Shop during my recent trip to Copenhagen. Everything mentioned above heartily endorsed and enthusiastically recommended.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Man. Rough times. Sympathy and best hopes from over here. I've been there too. Probably a lot of people who've had dogs have been there as well. A few years ago, after a spring thaw in Chicago, my dog was nosing around in a shrinking snowbank and he came out with a squirrel carcass that had...
