Well I don't "love" Mr Don but I thank him for having this forum available for the world to share and having tobacco for us all to utilize and have the extreme oppurtunity to cut our expences along the way.
Myself , I now can put back 80% of the money I used buying ready mades from the big companys and have a lot of control over what i choose to add to my own body and system.
While I am not an eco-crazy or off grid-crazy, I do like being self sufficient and this is helping me towards that goal.
It is cool mixing the tobaccos he sent also.
The forum is loaded with information that will enhance my smoking time as well as my leisure/social time/ [it does that now
]
So all in all I would like to take my hat off to Mr Don and all the founding members of this forum and send a heartfelt thanks.
On more personal note, my buying experience with Mr Don was great. I had never seen whole leaf tobacco and what he sent is for sure top quality. Not at all like what I have salvaged from my own grow. It all was indeed whole leaf and without blemish as well. ANd for those skeptics......... the weight was there as well. The pound packages were all 1.09 pounds at least or 9% over what is advertised. I also learned another thing. Turkish has small leaves
At least grown in regular spacing tho I have seen large leaves grown with american spacings but some said that the larger leaves lose their traditional flavor??? I won't be hand stringing mine if they grow....
I guess to re-cap , I could admit to a "Bro-love" thing with Mr Don
Mike
