On the subject... Thousands of hours have been compiled for this test to get a baseline on where you are at. Best to take the test once a month.  That can't be right. I can see all of them but the one that says I need a new pipe! I just got my 220th! |

220 pipes Ron? Wow... now that’s a collection! Would love to see your collection some day. I’m sure there are others whose collection is equally as vast if not greater. I still have a long way to go Sensei. Your Padowan (sp)?

I still have a long way to go Sensei. Your Padowan (sp)? Jim has a ton. And a lot of guys on the forums have over 300. Only about half of mine are good to look at, but they are all great smokers. |

The key to this test is to defocus your eyes. Have to take a color blind test about every 3 years

Nicotine has some medical benefits but tobacco use kills. I can’t imagine any study could find benefits with tobacco use and Covid?  |

50+ years of demonizing tobacco I think puts us in a place where regardless of "where the science leads", too many have polluted brains in academia that say nothing good can come from tobacco. And there are too many mind numb robots that are unable to ever entertain the thought that tobacco might have some benefits that big phartma can never produce.
Big "Phartma" is a Freudian slip, but the shoe fits.

Charlie; I look at it this way: I enjoy my pipe. I don't care what the docs say, or the public says. I enjoy it.
Same as my booze. I enjoy a drink occasionally. Only with the booze I have to admit I drink more than I should...

I'm a lawyer, and I have argued with a rock...who was wearing a black silk robe. I wont hold it against you. As for the Rock, well I must admit I've known a few. (Sadly, I'm pretty sure I could have been accused of being one from time to time) BUT. Your post made me laugh so thank you! |
