    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    Reading through this thread, it's pretty obvious that it's been a while since the majority of you have signed a lease for an apartment. Banning tobacco smoking, or smoking of any kind in apartments makes no difference at all, for the simple reason that there are no landlords left who allow...

    Cigar Beetles?

    I managed a cigar shop in Tempe, AZ for a few years, and our AC wasn't the best. We dealt with that problem pretty frequently. Higher temps bring them out of dormancy, and it can take a few months for the egg to fully develop into the beetle and make the hole in the cigar. So if the AC would go...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Just mentioned it in my comment above, but if you're looking for a fun way to stay in shape and stick to an exercise routine, Ring Fit Adventure is actually a LOT of fun, and a great workout. This is coming from a 27-year-old guy in decent shape, and I'm frequently sore and sweating after a...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Ha! Thanks for reminding me of this comment. I did buy a switch several months ago, and I love it! The last Legend of Zelda game I played was Ocarina of Time on N64, and god DAMN is Breath of the Wild an incredible experience! That, and Super Mario Odyssey, Untitled Goose Game, Bioshock, Ring...

    @Bowie pointed this out in this thread. "personally I am fine, but I have had a lot of family issues that have taken up all my time, my sister got Covid, and my mom has been in and out of the hospital, my sister is recovering slowly. With work and taking care of my family I just can’t make...

    Samuel Gawith Black XX Rope Review

    To everyone pre-slicing and drying your Black XX, I HIGHLY recommend smoking it straight off the rope. It's difficult, you will need about a dozen warning lights, and you'll be relighting frequently until you get the proper packing technique and cadence down, but in my opinion this blend loses...

    Are You Addicted To Nicotine?

    I believe that I am, but not severely. I only smoke pipes and cigars, but I enjoy the 'throat hit' feeling of cigarettes. This combined with my affinity for nicotine is why I keep an NJoy vape pod on-hand for convenient vitamin N administration

    Samuel Gawith Black XX Rope Review

    Just hopping back in here to say that Black XX is still my favorite tobacco. Also pretty sure it's exactly the same as G&H's Black Twist Sliced.

    Cigars With Cedar Notes.

    Honduran Corojo is your best bet, imo. A lot of the CLE, Edgar Hoill, Aladino, I get a lot of cedar notes from just about anything Eiroa had a hand in. The Hoyo de Monterrey Special Seleccion is a good one too, and I also get a good amount from the Tatuaje Black Label. If you can find them, the...

    Read This if You'd Like to Know More About Cigars (Specifically Nicaraguan)

    Oh boy did we drink Flor de Cana. Unlimited supply throughout, plus Tona beer which is also made down there. And I made sure to get a liter of Flor de Cana from the duty free on my way back. And I really appreciate the kind words. I hope I get to do the same in the DR

    The First Progressive Tobacco?

    Yeah I would've expected a tiny bit more maturity from this group? Guess that was just me being naive

    Anyone Use Steel Wool As A Filter?

    I've heard of this... but only for... less scrupulous smoking methods

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Just got a Nintendo Switch not too long ago, and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the most fun I've had playing video games in a LONG time. My mind was absolutely blown the whole time by the smoothness, the graphics, the gameplay mechanics, and the MASSIVE open-world format. I beat the...

    4oz at a Time - How Would You Cellar?

    I don't meet the criteria as I smoke pretty much only VAs, but to me cockstrong tasted like really good cigarette tobacco. The kind of cigarettes you can't buy at the gas station. I liked it but it didn't quite make it into my regular rotation. I will say that it was incredibly easy to smoke...

    Problems with USPS ?

    I'm glad I didn't come across this thread sooner. I just bought my fiance a Nintendo Switch and mailed it to her from Bethlehem PA to Phoenix AZ. Not sure why I didn't get it insured, as hard to find & expensive as these things are. Tracking info showed a delay, but much to my relief, they got...

    Inhaling

    I inhale my pipe smoke about every two or three puffs. I just like the throat hit, honestly. Plus i gravitate towards stronger tobacco that still tastes good inhaled. My favorite right now is sliced black twist, and i even chop it up and make it into cigarettes for when i don't have time for a...

    RIP Soul Singer Bill Withers.

    Oh man that's really sad... Ain't No Sunshine is an absolute masterpiece. He will be missed.
