    Who remembers the Bufflehead tobaccos?

    Yup, looking at my last can of Bufflehead Decoy from 2005 as we speak. Label lists Shawnee Mission, Kansas as the address. I've been putting off opening it for a couple years now.

    Sick, Tired, and Pissed

    Yup, did the mold thing last year in the basement after the ice on the roof took out a vent stack seal. I didn't think of it at the time and didn't wear any respirator, got a lung infection for being stupid. Classes, mold, carpeting, fever, essays,,,,my sympathies.

    How many...

    I count 15 briars in the rack, I smoke about 12 of them regularly. There's two churchwardens that see limited use, and a freehand that's in semi retirement. Some cobs for fishing duty. A couple gourd calabashs and a pair of meerschaum Lovats round out the group, but they're strictly easy chair...

    What The Hell Did They Do To My Beer?

    Are they looking to target a specific group I wonder?

    Snow Coming Here In NY? Will They Be Right?

    Three feet down and no end in sight. The county has closed.

    Snow Coming Here In NY? Will They Be Right?

    I'm kinda half way between Syracuse and Watertown on the lake. Lake temperature is higher than usual due to the hot summer and we're all going to get hammered with lake effect storms this winter because of it. Tune up the snowblowers and let her rip.

    How many tins of tobacco do you have

    About 15 tins open placed in jars, I never seem to smoke the same blend twice in a row. About 8 pounds bulk in jars, around 50 tins in the cellar getting mellow.

    Snow Coming Here In NY? Will They Be Right?

    The snow is coming down quite heavily now at 11:30 AM in northern N.Y. Little accumulation yet however as the ground hasn't frozen.

    What Is Your Personal Motto?

    Two that I live by, of course I seem to ignore them while drinking. If you have nothing good to say, say nothing. I'd rather remain silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.

    For You Old Timers, And Maybe The Youngsters To!

    Lots of my memories mentioned above. Grew up on a farm, party line phone, no TV , worked the nearby onion farm and apple orchard to buy my bike and .22 rifle at 9 yrs old, fishing the creek for bullhead at night, sneaking hard cider from the cellar, frog leg suppers, homemade icecream, boiling...

    McClelland's Boston 1776

    1776 has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. There's a lot of comparable blends that deliver similar flavor, but not quite as smooth as this one, but I keep looking.

    That $#!t's Stupid

    I guess I enjoy the simplicity of a pipe nail, form and function. Or maybe I'm a cheap old fart, anyway $20 will buy a couple tins.

    Where did the flavor go?

    For what it's worth, I was on blood pressure medicine for six months and couldn't taste a thing while smoking. After I stopped the meds my taste returned. Also (for me) sipping some soda while smoking eliminates tongue bite, have been told the acid in the soda counteracts the alkaline in the...

    Coffee Grinding Flakes

    I tried this several years ago and had some success, but my wife claimed it as her own for herbs and cinnamon. Back to rubbing out my flakes. :puffy:

    Blend(s) you will hate losing the most?

    Union Square has become one of my favorites, I'll miss it greatly.

    Big Ben pipes?

    Some years ago Big Ben offered a Mahogany calabash with a meerschaum bowl which I bought because of the price. They didn't offer them long I suppose because it must have been labor intensive hogging out all that wood from a solid block. It's not fancy but fairly well finished, I assume it's a...

    What Compares to Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake?

    I'll second,,,or third,,or whatever the suggestion of BBF. I found it when FVF became scarce.

    Tongue Bite Remedy (after the fact)

    I can honestly say I've never had tongue bite, but I drink some soda while smoking. I was told the acid in it counteracts the "base" nature of tobacco smoke and I have to agree

    What Did Your Fathers and Grandfathers Smoke?

    Dad smoked Prince Albert and Half & Half most of the time. I remember him hand rolling Top tobacco into cigarettes from the big yellow tub, and on occasion would smoke it in a pipe,,,,he only had three.
