President's Message
Hello All,
With the 4 th of July Holiday coming up this weekend I would like to extend my best wishes for a happy and safe day. Drink less and smoke more. Maybe a cob or clay in honor of our forefathers contemplatingthe true meaning of the day and not the substitute or excuse for excess BBQ and Booze.
It is my sad duty to inform the club that we will be losing two well attended members. Al and Shawn. Al is leaving the hobby because of some health issues, and we all wish him well. Shawn who took to the
hobby like a moth to a flame will be moving to Savanah, Georgia. On the bright side Shawn is interested in starting a charter club down there once he is settled. Both great guys and both will be terribly missed.
At the last meeting Eric informed us we now have use of the fire pit, so this month bring your appetite. We plan to roast some hot dogs over the fire. Please bring anything you would like to grille if you hold
any particular dietary restraints. The club will provide the dogs, buns, and condiments. Please provide your own beverage. We will meet at 6:00 instead of 7:00.
This meeting I will bring the mystery tobacco and all member who wear either red, white or blue will receive an extra ticket for a change in the President’s raffle.
See you Tuesday,
Kevin

The Social History of Smoking: Audio Book
This work tells the history of smoking in England from the social point of view. Thus it does not deal with the history of tobacco growing or tobacco related manufacture, but is rather the story of how smoking has fitted in with the fashions and customs throughout the ages, and the changes in the attitude of society towards smoking. (Summary by Maikki). We will add a new chapter each month for your listening pleasure. Chapters are not all read by the same reader.
- The First Pipes of Tobacco Smoked in England
- Tobacco Triumphant: Smoking Fashionable and Universal
- Tobacco Triumphant (continued) Sellers of Tobacco and Professors of the Art of Smoking
- Cavalier and Roundhead Smokers
- Smoking in the Restoration Era
This Month's Tobacco Raffle
Club Blend Roll Cake is a unique tobacco with a recipe that dates back to 1955. A roll-cake tobacco, spun from rich, matured Virginia and choice cavendish tobaccos giving Club Blend its medium strength and delightful aroma. Based on my research on the codes used, this tin dates to 2008.
Mixture Mild is mild and lightly aromatic Scottish Blend, manufactured from ready rubbed, matured Virginia tobaccos and golden brown Burley grades, Cavendish and loose, ripe Virginia. Mixture is one of the most popular pipe tobaccos in the world. I believe that this tin was produced in the mid 1990s.
