Love it! I won a corn cob pipe at a carnival when I was 12. Still enjoy one good cigar a week. I love your demolition job on vile cigarettes. I’ve always hated everything about them. But you said far better than I ever had.
Lippers, hand rolled cigs, CT shade Caribbean fill cigars are pleasures to be had in moderation. Can there be pietists without liturgicals? Why must there always be a binary definition. Throw the ‘with us o against us’ tendency out. Maybe lean to unity, you can’t have one without the other. That is love after all.
I grew up on a ranch in Montana. A lot of the cowboys chewed Copenhagen. Of course in those days it was no fancy long cut. A few chewed Skoal which was flavored. My older brother started at 14. I never did. When he was running between 3 ranches in Texas, Montana and Oregon, and getting 3 hours of sleep a night, he survived on Iced tea and up to 5 cans a day. That takes a 3 finger dip and his lip was deformed, but it kept him awake and alive. He finally went down to 3 cans a day in his 50s and 60s. He never got mouth cancer, but he would cough until he puked sometimes. Apparently when you chew that much you breath in a LOT of the fumes. I never understood it myself, but Dan was always in a battle with life. I guess it helped him get through it though. Considering that one can has the nicotine of 3 packs of cigarettes, he could have just mainlined it, but that would not have been cowboy.
Great essay, from what I've seen most of the cancer is from Asian smokeless tobacco . Also smokeless tobacco is already banned in most all of the EU but cigarettes are legal!
There! That’s a good’un. Gave me a new perspective. Though, reducing the issue to two opposite energies seems to be exactly what numbers do - simplify. We can never be only Pietists
or Liturgicals. Seems like declaring that risks strengthening the divide.
As to the swamps - can you successfully hide in them nowadays?
