Nathan "CrashTheGrey" Davis on Radio Show of May 7, 2024
What a great interview, @crashthegrey ! I always love reading about the bond you and Bill have formed over Kaywoodie, and wish you the best of success in the future. It was amazing to learn that Kaywoodie had already been a one-man show for about 30 years, but then I did the math and realized...- ThermionicScott

Tea Making Method Requires a Pinch of Salt.
I first read about putting a pinch of salt in strong coffee from a Tom Clancy novel, and it works. But I won't be trying it in my tea.- ThermionicScott

2021 Union Square in the Medico pot. I smoked it a little too fast (about an hour) for best effect, but it was still pleasant!- ThermionicScott

Really Hot Smoke
I like to break in pipes with ribbon cuts (or fully rubbed-out flakes) in order to start building an even cake from the get-go. I also like to use matches, so I'm not torching the virgin chamber walls with such a hot heat source. I'm an exclusively outdoor smoker, so I try to only smoke a new...- ThermionicScott

Terracotta Fingers and Replacement Stems? (Peterson content)
I thought this thread was going to be about those orangeish-brown stains that have started appearing on the undersides of the fingers I drape over the bowl as I smoke. puffy- ThermionicScott

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Now for some Union Square in my #1 cob. I seem to have this habit that whenever I crack a tin of a new Virginia, I try it in nearly all of my pipes. There’s little risk of ghosting, so why not. There is definitely a ghost from the four or so bowls of KBV Meditations I’ve been smoking in this...- ThermionicScott

VaPer recommendation?
No "VaPer recommendations" thread is complete without St James Flake! 👍 8oz boxes are technically available, but it's a commitment in effort and $ to get one, kind of a gamble if he doesn't end up liking it. I'd suggest the OP snag a 50g tin first to get a taste. (Until/unless it becomes a...- ThermionicScott

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
FVF in my Savinelli 313 prince. Moreso than other blends, each bowl of this stuff is an opportunity to experiment. Usually I'm frustrated by wind, but I'm finding that allowing a slight breeze to fan the ember is a good thing in this case. I'm also pleased that even though I'm near to the...- ThermionicScott
