When I can't drink it, I guess I'll smoke it! Most of the Whiskey blends I've come across are Scotch blends. The only bourbon I've seen is Borkum Riff's Bourbon Whiskey. I've tried a couple different bulk Whiskey blends, but have yet to find my grail. Any recommendations are...

If you have ever been looking for ballads, poems, or songs about pipe-smoking or simply tobacco--look no further. I stumbled across this website today and thought I would share. It's called "Pipe & Pouch: The Smoker's Own Book of Poetry" and it's about 150 pages of poetry about smoking a...
