At an old Presbyterian Church ... with Presbyterian Reformation

- ...just a quick review of Presbyterian Reformation tobacco from Sutliff, and a small talk on the Protestant Reformation on the 505th Anniversary (October 31, 1517) of Martin Luther's publishing of his 95 Theses.
Good chat. I like old churches. Thanks for sharing. I never heard of this version of the blend.
Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoy...thanks for taking the time!
Take care,
Corey
Well done, Corey! I had only half-guessed the tobacco figuring that Presbyterian was going to be in the tobacco's name. The church and Presbyterian Reformation are an excellent 'pairing'. Your descriptions - accessibly descriptive as always - have put this tobacco on my list. Your quick tour of the Reformation and the Protestant Reformation was informative and enjoyable. 'Resolving' doctrinal and theological differences and even worship customs by splitting rather than discussing has, sadly, been going on in the Christian tradition for centuries. The First Presbyterian Church building is impressive as are its grounds. What really captured my interest though was the organ. That's the sixth organ that's been installed in the church sanctuary. The first organ, a one manual instrument of only 6 ranks, was restored in 1995 and relocated. The current sanctuary organ sounds and the choir sings from on high, literally. Curious as to how that works out during a service, I looked up the organ specs. There are 6 flat screen monitors that give the organist a view of what's going on 'down there'. Thanks for another great visit and review, my friend. Be well and stay awesome - peace
Hello my good friend!

Beautiful architecture and an interesting take on the Reformation of the church. I appreciate the wonderful tour and a great tobacco review. I'll certainly give this one a try. Good day to you sir👍
Thank you so much for taking the time!
The Reformation was a very interesting time in western Europe, lots of violence and severing!
Glad you enjoyed...hope you're well!
...and hope you can get some of this baccy to try!
Take care,
Corey

So sorry it took me this long to watch this video, but good ol'e YT un-subbed me to your channel. This is not the first time this has happened. That church looks to be well preserved and maintained. Ya the good old days when a ship needing to go from East to West had to go via rounding the horn. What a long trip.
Hello Brian, good to hear from you!
No worries....nothing required...just for interest!
Glad you stopped by though...and let me know...always good to know!
Yeah...I've heard others complain about YT doing the same thing to them.
Take care!

Here in Slovenia the 31th of October is the Reformatin Day and a national holiday, work free day. Stay well Corey, Janez
Hello Janez, good to hear from you!
Yes...I have heard of Reformation Day...we don't have that here.
Thanks for the good comment.
Take care,
Corey
Hola Corey, my dear friend,
a very important date for the whole religious world. I have been to Wittenberg a few times to see the church and its famous portal. It is still impressive.
I know the Presbyterian Mixture as a good tobacco, which I have smoked a few times.
The new Mixture is obviously quite different, but I think another good job by Mac Baren. I like the nice tin art.
Thanks for the reminder of this important time in the religious revolution in Europe.
Take care, amigo.
Best wisches from the 🌞🏝.
Michael
Hola Michael, so good to hear from you!
Yes...it is a pivotal date in European and Western history.
The US would be quite a different place without this shattering of the Western Church.
Yeah...another great flake put out by Mac Baren-Sutliff.
Quite interesting!
Take care and be well my friend!
Corey

Hey Peter my friend!
Hope you're well...glad you stopped by!

Hopefully you can get a hold of some Pres Danish Flake and give it a shot!
Take care,
Corey

Hello Corey, always a pleasure. The architecture of some churches is always interesting, particularly old ones with catacombs. I chuckled when I saw the arrival of Presbyterian Reformation. I got a tin and have had several bowls, it's a pleasant aromatic with toned down topping. What's interesting to me is Sutliff makes a rarely talked about bulk called Mocha Slices, it's a beautiful long Flake that looks similar to the Presbyterian except for length, possibly an amped up amount of toppings, I need to do a side by side comparison. There is another new Presbyterian coming out in an orange tin that is a crumble cake but I can't remember it's components. Perhaps I should launch Vatican and Vatican II (😁). That meerschaum is darkening at quick rate, beautiful!
Warmest Regards,
William
Hello William, good to hear from you!
Agreed...much church architecture is beautiful, especially with catacombs!
I think that's a great description, "aromatic with toned down topping."
Thanks for the interesting comments and for taking the time!
Take care,
Corey
Thank You! Very informative too. I'll get this bland to try it.
Glad you found it interesting!
Hope you can try this one...and enjoy it!
Take care,
Corey
Hi, Corey, my friend! Thanks for the nice review. I am also not a particularly religious person, but in such places you feel calm and peaceful. Enjoy Your day and good tobacco. Hope You joined it. Kirill
Hello Kirill my friend!
Hope you're well...thanks for stopping by.
I certainly agree with your sentiments.
Take care,
Corey
I didn’t pay much attention to Reformation when it came out but now I’m intrigued. I love anything with cocoa flavor in flake form. Seeing a new video from you certainly made a good day better…Happy Halloween my friend! 🎃
Hello Eric, good to hear from you!
Yeah...and I didn't expect too much myself...but was pleasantly surprised.
Hope you can give it a shot and see what you think!
Take care,
Corey
On second thought, you are about the 3d or 4th presenter who has recommended this as not over the top aro.I will fire a bowl up tonight. Again thanks for the tour of one of my favorite Portland buildings.
Haha....yeah...you should give it a shot then let me know what you think!
Take care,
Corey
Both “only scripture” and “only faith” have Biblical support. The latter is most clearly stated in Ephesians 2:8. The former is less direct, but can be inferred from a number of different passages, e.g., in Acts 17 when the Berean Jews examined Paul’s teaching against their accepted scripture. The more contentious issue has been to “agree” on what is considered canonical. These are but two examples of support for those positions. Are those positions correct or complete? That’s a whole ‘nuther can o’ worms😂
Loved the history and review-of yet another blend I haven’t tried yet-as always. Thanks for continuing to bring great content.
Hello Ethan, hope you're well!
Thanks for taking the time!
And thank you for your good comments!
Yeah...well...my point was only that Luther brought new ideas into the church, I'm sure many perspectives can be argued from the texts.
But Luther himself struggled to make his arguments viable...even attempting to create his own canon of scripture that align with his thinking.
He wanted to throw out a few books of the Bible, including the Epistle of James, because it directly contradicted his thinking....
The Protestants ended up with a different Canon in the end anyways.
Remember at this point, most Christians, east or west, had never even read the scriptures, nor could they, most were illiterate and it was written in Latin in the Western Church.
And my point was also that his actions unlike many of the heretics from before, ended up fracturing the Western Church in a major way.
Anyway....interesting history to look at!
Take care and be well!

Hi Corey: My goodness, I had forgotten how impressive that church was, when we lived in Portland we often walked through the park blocks to get from Portland State University area to the north end usually on our way to either Powell's Books or Multnomah County Library. Back in the day that library's card catalogs were in wooden drawers. Can't say I am happy with the Presbyterian Reformation, it is not a reformation, it is absolutely over the top aromatic. I think a more honest tin art would have included and image of Luther nailing those famous theses to the door, a famous myth but may or may not be true. I think many customers are going to pick the Reformation up thinking it will be just a 'tweaking' of the legendary mixture, obviously not the case. Keep puffin.
Hello Doug, good to have you stop by!
Always enjoy reading your comments.
So interesting!
I don't think the the Reformation flake is that much of an aromatic, but everyone has different taste.
Thanks for the good comments,
Take care,
Corey
Hello Corey my friend! So good to see you. I did not know you studied ancient languages, is there anything you haven’t studied?!😃 The history of Christianity and church is very fascinating. As in all human matters, dominance and hunger for power finds its way everywhere. My father has studied Christianity a lot, I think you two would have a lot to talk about.
The tobacco sounds great, just like something I would like! I had no idea Presbyterian has had a sibling blend released.
I hope you are well, take care and we’ll talk soon.
Emil
Hello Emil my good friend!
Hope you're well!
Yeah... I had two years of Hebrew and two years of Greek...and read the ancient texts in the original languages.
Very interesting!
The history of Christianity is fascinating...and violent!
All religion has something to do with power and control.
The Presbyterian Reformation is a great flake tobacco and it's new since late summer.
We'll talk soon my friend!
Take care,
Corey
Dear Corey,
thank you for reviewing this flake, sounds intriguing, however, I don't think we can get it over here.
The history of the Reformation was taught quite extensively at school when I was a kid, I am not sure if this is still the case.
Just one question: You refer to the Catholic Church as "the Western Church". I haven't heard this use of this expression for the period of the Reformation, only for the era when the West and East Roman Empires did exist (and probably for a certain time after the fall of the West Roman Empire). Is this expression used in the US for the Catholic Church in a wider manner?
Best greetings from Munich, Peter
Hello Peter, so good to hear from you!
Hope you're well...thanks for stopping by!
It could be that this flake will not be available in the EU...not sure why they do that.
Ingredients?
I use the term "Western Church" simply to offset it from the other half of the church, the Eastern or Byzantine Church. The word Catholic means "universal" and that is a propaganda term used against the Eastern Church, as the Eastern uses the word Orthodox, which means "straight" or "true"....even though it was the Western Church that separated from the other four churches. There were traditionally 5 Sees: Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople, and Rome....and Rome left the other four, so technically using the term Western is being generous.
Anyways...great question.
Thank you my friend!
Corey
Great video, Corey.
Up to recently, religion has been the virginia of history, in the base of everything. Nowadays, with the uprise of media, I guess religion is becoming irrelevant as a mass control medium... at least in most of the world.
Cheers
G.
Hello Gustavo my good friend!
Glad it's not irregular of you to stop by!
Well, I certainly agree with you regarding religion....but haven't heard it described in such a manner!
Although, I will say, religion is still a crucial device for control here in the US...but its because we are behind Europe in many ways...this is just one way.
Otherwise I'm in full agreement with you!
Take care and be well my friend!
Corey
Kenye West live matter.
Haha... I'm not quite sure he matters much!
He will soon disappear like any puff of foul air!
Thanks for taking the time!

Ah ah qui va le faire disparaitre ? Pourquoi ? Car il donne des faits?
Cet homme est courageux et perdra beaucoup d'argent pourtant il savait ce qu'il risquait...Louis Ferdinand Céline a eu les mêmes problèmes.
Les afro américains doivent se libérer des vraies chaînes qui les empêchent de s'émanciper.
A bientôt !
Thanks you for your thoughts, Corey. I ordered a tin, and will give it a go. Have a great day 💨💨💨
You're quite welcome, glad you enjoyed!
Hope the baccy is the same!
Take care,
Corey
