Pipe Tobaccos for RYO

S-CHIP got you down, forced into smoking the cheapest RYO/tobacco-paper sheet, recon? There's literally dozens, if not more, of high quality 100% tobacco dual use pipe blends suitable for RYO and MYO. Updated 4-26-10 with RYORevolution's comprehensive list from dozens of contributors.

• From some of what I've read, "Real" pipe smokers appreciate SCHIP.  It was about time.  Real pipe smokers despise the cigarette smoker.  They're appalled in disbelief that anyone would consider taxing pipe tobacco.  Proves cigarette smokers are worthless, not paying their 2,200% happily.   "Now those damn cigarette  smokers are putting us in jeopardy" they'll say.  SCHIP would be  unfair and prejudicial to pipe smokers.  Don't you see?  They're connoisseurs.  A great tax for cigarette smokers,  excellent tax.  The Neanderthal cigarette smokers had to be taught a lesson.  They abuse "The Blessed Leaf" and should be levied upon with scorn and vengeance.  Real pipe smokers don't like nicotine.  They'd be happier without it.  "If not for that damned nicotine" you'll occasionally hear a "Real" pipesmoker say.  Like a "wine connoisseur" on their 3rd bottle.  Still savoring the effects of that late frost in 89,  huh. #
• Update 4-26-10: From the nicotine fiends and friends at RYORevolution.com, the Net's most authoratative users of what some "Real"  pipe smokers  refer to as their "Blessed Leaf" (bless their little souls) comes the list to blow away all lists that refer to which of the "Blessed Leaves" smoke best in our Single-Use-Paper-Pipe.  ;) #
• Future taxation; cow farts? Presenting for your illogical taxation amusement: Loose tobacco taxation: Based on the "future-cigarette" theory. A Future Cigarette is a cigarette that's not-yet-made but it's tax is already paid. If the Future Cigarette is ever made, it will be made by a manufacturer who worked for nothing and received no benefit. Future Cigarettes necessarily weigh an exact and predetermined amount or the tax (which is already paid) will be incorrect and illegal. Future Cigarettes are 50% tax but aren't half as dangerous. #
• Finally, a little sanity in the Global Warming lunacy sweeping our country.  Arizona state Senate voted 19-10 to outlaw Global Warming legislation.  A recent report signed by 31,478 U.S. researchers and scientists, challenges the AGW theories and refuted man's contribution to Global Warming (a natural global occurence).  If passed, this could help protect Arizona citizens from the projected $2,000 per annum tax hike on their energy costs.  AZ might gain a means of disputing Federal govt in court over the Waxman-Markey BS in the democratic controlled Senate right now.  Many people around the world are waking up to see this is a fairy tale to create frivolous taxation schemes. #
• A bill that might decrease the Earth's average temperature by 2/10's of 1 percent by 2099 is being voted on in the House today. This bill, described as a "tragic error" and a "suicide for the American economy" will cost the average American anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 per annum, according to experts, and might achieve the laughable achievement of a reduction in the Earth's temperature by two tenths of one percent in a Century, so what. The largest single energy tax increase in US history..... am I the only one getting tired of hearing those words but this is yet another superfluous bill. This 32 Billion dollar one being pushed through by an overpowering Democratic House for the sake of their "Global Warming" programming. It's almost unbelievable but it looks like we'll be assaulted by these treacherous bills continuously over the next 4 years. Who are they kidding, 2/10's of one percent, millions of lost jobs, 77 and 88 cent gas and diesel increases and an average cost per capita of $2,000? Didn't they say no new taxes on the middle class? The smirking democratic Reps are just icing on this cake, not to mention the 8 republicans that voted for this BS!  The American people are the punchline. Republicans who supported this bill: Bono Mack, Castle, Kirk, Lance, LoBiando, McHugh, Reichert and Smith (NJ). #
