    Why Do Virginias Taste Harsh to Me?

    Orlik-Golden Sliced GL Pease-Union Square Samuel Gawith-Best Brown Flake Those shouldn't be too much of a boot to the rear end for a new VA smoker, and they're tasty too. **as I was thinking of suggestions, I checked in on one of my favorite cellar blends and realized I can't find it online...

    Cold and Rainy...Nothing Some Coffee and Gaslight Won't Fix

    Wow, Bammy got some snow? We haven't had any real snow yet up here in Wyoming. It was 50 today and I even saw a guy mowing his yard. It feels a bit like the apocalypse.

    What Music Are You Listening To ~ November, 2018

    Great choices. I lean towards the heavy end of the musical spectrum, but currently I've been bouncing between "Rivers of Nihil-Where Owls Know My Name" and "Sturgill Simpson-A Sailor's Guide to Earth"

    Christmas All Year Long!

    I always wonder that too. I constantly hear about how saying "Merry Christmas" is outlawed right alongside saying the pledge of allegiance. I'm still trying to find one of these schools, but I am routinely assured that it is commonplace.

    A New Gripe With Peterson Christmas Pipe 03

    Those '18 Xmas pipes sure are handsome. I dropped a hint to the missus that there's a new Pete in town that would be a welcome addition to my rack come Christmas morning.

    How Do You Resist PAD?

    I don't. The better question is, "how does my wife resist my PAD?" I have to admit, she's doing a bang up job at it.

    Recommendations For A "Jaw Hanger"?

    GBD makes a solid pipe. I've restored a few I picked up as estates. Somewhere around 1980 they merged with Comoys, and their quality took quite a bit of a hit. If that estate you are looking at is pre-Comoys, snap it up. If it's post-Comoys, it will still be a good pipe, but the Sav is probably...
