    Whats the Coolest Smoking Pipe?

    I don't think it's a question of the tobacco, but some pipes do get hotter easier than others, in my experience. I suspect a narrower airway is one of the main reasons. In addition to the thickness and quality of the briar or meerschaum. But as has already been said, the main variable by far...

    Your Experience with Bit Grips/Softy Bits?

    I can't tolerate the "softy bits" so I have to use tape...but you're right about the polyvinyl chloride, so what I've started doing is adding a layer of the below (allegedly) non-toxic adhesive tape over the top of the non-adhesive vinyl tape. It works well for me because it's even more...

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    OJK is a staple for me, so I typically get the 8 oz tins. I've never bought it in bulk because I've already got too much tobacco in jars, and I'm too lazy to deal with more and more jarring. I know there are those who say not to store long term in tins, but thus far I have never experienced a...

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    Speaking of the Ministry of Truth: New NPR CEO Katherine Maher gave a Ted Talk during which she asserted that “truth” is a “distraction” which is “getting in the way of getting things done.” https://modernity.news/2024/04/17/new-npr-ceo-gave-ted-talk-asserting-truth-is-a-distraction/

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    RIP Dickey Betts

    Very true. And no better example of real musicians playing real music than the Allman Brothers. And to quote Dickey Betts, "The biggest mistake I ever made was agreeing to name this band the Allman Brothers". LOL

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    Years ago I would have agreed with you...but in the reality-optional clown world we're in now, people eating raw oysters seems completely normal and sane.
