Fred,
Have you seen this article?
“Senecas See Comeback Over Sale of Cigarettes”
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/06/us/06seneca.html
You can hear the girly-man crying come through loud and clear from Mr. Kirkpatrick as he writes his biased article. Not one mention that the PACT ACT would have affected other mail order tobacco businesses. He only mentions the old cliché of fat cat cigar smokers getting an exemption. Maybe he should take a look at our airman and soldiers who rely on mail order for cigars and other tobacco when deployed over seas. I say good for the Seneca Indians…keep on fighting.
Cheers,
George
Michael: You might look at some of the pipe sites. I like PipesMagazine.com You will find all sorts of information there. Also, Google pipe break-in. That will lead you to more. There are a good many pipe forums as well that do nothing but talk about pipes, tobacco and smoking.
But, to give you my theory, get some fresh honey. Put a small amount on your little finger and squib it around the inside of the pipe. Then load the pipe with some good Virginia all the way to the top. Smoke it all the way down until there is nothing but white ash. After that, just continue to smoke the pipe slowly from top to bottom.
Hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to get back to me at PSI if you have more questions. And thanks for checking us out!
