Put Some Moisture In

-


 I’ll continue with my pipe a day, but last month I bought some Good Stuff Gold.  I found it too harsh at first.  I could hardly retrohale it through my nose.  But I decided that it was too dry from the bag.  I took a moist paper towel and put it in the humidor over night.  And now it is perfect as a fine pipe tobacco.  

I was going to write about another pipe this morning, but thought I would review the Good Stuff Gold because it deserves a review.  Good stuff is not like Ganbler or some of the other bag tobacco.  The Red is excellent for blending with a Cavebdish but like the gold is excellent by itself.  The Gold like the Red is just great by itself.  

It is a Virginia Burley blend that is pure tobacco.  The Menthol has a minty taste, but I’ve found Good Stuff to be my favorite off the shelf tobacco.  I really like it.  I’ve learned to just add some moisture to it.  Good Stuff has good flavor by itself no matter which you buy.  I added the Cavebdish before for moisture, but all it needs is a bit of moisture and it is an excellent blend.  

I’d recommend for a new pipe smoker and is great for an experienced pipe smoker.  All it needs is some over night moisture and it is nothing but pure tobacco.  It doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not.  None of the blends have flavoring but the minty taste of the menthol.  The Gold is very similar to the Red, but in my book it is a well behaved tobacco without tongue bite and the nicotine is just right.  Nothing but pure tobacco.

I had to review it this morning because the Good Stuff blend is worth a review.  It is that good.  This morning is Saturday and I smoke my Boswell pipe on Saturday.  This morning it is with my Good Stuff Gold worthy of a mention.  My coffee this morning is Stumtown Founder’s blend.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

Strange

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
