    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2022?***

    Just popped open a tin of 2014 Skiff Mixture and enjoying it in a no-name nordic second.

    Beard Oil: What Is It?

    Since my last post in this thread 4 years ago, my mother has taken to creating oils and creams. She made me some marvelous beard oil.

    I finally bought an RV

    Thanks all. I am unsure what the original wall material is, but I think it's textured thin plywood. Same materials as the ceiling. The walls are filled with expanding foam. I figure that I will remove the walls and refill any loosened or missing foam. I might also remove and replace the...

    I finally bought an RV

    Here is an update on the RV. I was hoping to do weekly updates, but my speed of progress is hampered by the fact that I only have Saturdays in which to work on it, as well as it being 40 minutes away at my parents. So, with only 4-6 hours on weekends, this is where I am at. However, here are a...

    Watch City has Penzance and Stonehaven!

    During the past couple weeks, I spent over 350 bucks on tobacco, getting 2 lbs each of stonehaven and penzance, and a couple other brands. Here is my current Esoterica cellar </p> <p>Dorchester - Jun 2016 2 oz 2<br /> Dunbar ----- Jun 2016 8 oz 1<br /> Margate ---- May 2016 8 oz 1<br />...

    Tin stickers

    Do you know if tobacco manufacturers would be willing to send full-tin-art stickers to individuals? I ask, because here in the states, we can still get tins without gratuitous "SMOKE KILLS" or "SMOKERS THROAT HOLE" art work. When it comes to the US getting this type of crap, I plan on covering...

    Elegance and grace, a female pipe smoker.

    Well, I will chime in. This past week, I have been chatting with a lady who shares many of the same dreams as I do. Living green off the land, micro-life, sustainable living, etc. We have hit is off quite well, and seem to be on the same page in many areas. She smokes Native Spirit cigs, about...

    Modest Cellar

    I can attest. My cellar looked like the OPs a year ago. It's probably increased 10-fold or more by now. Best bet, find a tobacco you like, that you really really enjoy, and buy 10 tins. Look for deals on websites in order to try many different tobaccos. Hit the bulk tobaccos and see if you...

    Hearth & Home Black House

    I agree. Both are remarkable.

    I finally bought an RV

    Thanks gentlemen. And that camper above looks marvelous! I could SO call that home. My original goal was to take a camper trailer and convert it. But when this came across my way, and for only 700 bucks, I couldn't resist it. My ultimate goal is to get a tiny home, and this may very well be...

    I finally bought an RV

    As the title says, I finally found an RV that was worth gutting and refurbishing (to my own standards) and one that was worth the price. The seller told me that he was not selling me an RV; he was selling me an engine and trans and the coach comes with it. :) It's a 28ft 1988 LaSalle by...
