@RockyMountainBriar, @motie2; I have always marveled at pipe smokers differing tastes in pipes and tobaccos. I didn't care for my Kirsten, but love my "The Pipe(s)". I have 7 of them and smoke them on a regular basis. I like them for 3 reasons; They are easier to clean than a Meerschaum, there is no ghosting, and it actually helps me smoke my briar pipes by making me focus on sipping the draw. Smoke one too fast and any tobacco will sting like a bee. We are all unique, I guess!
@RSPiper; Hank Snow, one of my favorite Country Singers. The gentleman in the Rouseco Ad reminds me of down home(SE Missouri). Amazing how a photo can take you back in time. Thanks for the memory.
@motie2 I love that first one😂😂😂😂, and the RC Boat & Sub😂😂😂. I need to build myself another RC boat, a sub would be even cooler. One problem I found with my RC boat… if it craps out in the middle of the pond/lake, how do you retrieve it. I guess nowadays, electric would be more reliable. The one I built was a gas powered airboat I built from scratch, really cool and fun. I would like an RC PT Boat, a big one that I could hang a fishing line off of. That would really be fun, the dang things are expensive though. I have an old Futaba FM RC radio, but apparently they are no longer legal?

Those commercials are great and bring back memories of Tobacs past. Thanks for posting.
