    RadioShack Declares Chapter 11

    My first real job was at RadioShack, It's sad to see the brand disappear. The end of RadioShack it's the result of two factors: the decline on DIY electronics that happened on the 80's-90's, and the lack of action to redo the brand and concentrate on the new market of DIY digital electronics...

    Hermetic Jar storage - Glass Haze

    I use mason jars that I get at Walmart... small ones to carry around (Jelly Jars) and the wide mouth 16 oz size for storing on the closet (12 jars for +-$10). They seal good and look nice!, I can't really notice any loss of moisture on the tobacco and maybe I'm imagining but the smell is much...

    Smokong - all the way down?

    I have found that there is a change on the flavor of the smoke when I get close to the end and that is where I stop... I guess the difference on the flavor it's because of the change on moisture of the tobacco and the mix of some of the ashes from the top of the chamber going down with the...

    My days of lackadaisical outdoor pipe smoking are ending.

    I'm on the opposite side of the problem... Here you can't go out and smoke because of the extreme heat, we are dealing with 88 to 93 degrees and between 60 to 90% humidity! The only way that I feel comfortable smoking outdoors is wearing a Cooling Vest!

    Talk About Discouraging!

    I'm on the same boat right now. I leave my full time job because of the many violations to the original employment agreement that I sign and right now I have a part time job with 20 hours week and I just start working this week on a grocery store but they only offer as part time not more than 25...

    To jar or not to jar...

    I have a small amount of "paper cups", like 8 or 9 total... so It will not be a problem to move them to mason jars (I just have to run to the grocery store and print labels with the name and date) and from this point forward as soon as I get some will transfer to the jars. It's good to know that...

    To jar or not to jar...

    I was wondering the same about the paper containers and that is why I decide to ask here. I'm going to go for medium size mason jars for tobacco of the same kind that I order the most and small ones for the blends that I don't smoke often, and I will keep regular metallic tins closed until be...

    To jar or not to jar...

    I have being ordering some of the Sutliff Molto Dolce, Taste of Summer and I'm starting to order some Taste of Autumn, usually when one tin is open I just put as much as I can of the contents on a small mason jar and start using what is left on the tin. Will be ok if I just open all the tins of...

    What's a recommended pipe lighter?

    There a few "lighters" with ceramic heating elements that on contact will ignite the tobacco... as I have see most of this gadgets are cannabis consumer oriented but on theory still can be used on pipes, the downside it's the crazy price range of $150-$250! If I have $250 that can be use freely...

    What's a recommended pipe lighter?

    I use matches... it's more easy to control and faster to use than some lighters that use liquid fuel (I hate to find that my nimrod lighter is dry just on the last second) the downside it's that if wind blows a little hard you will have to try at least 3 or 4 times before being successful. Bic...

    How Many Bowls.....?

    I have notice the same. Some of the blends will affect how sensitive my taste goes for salty or sweet even to the point to make food or drinks plain disgusting! but usually after a couple of hours the sensation will diminish and finally fade away... I personally will not burn bowls back to back...

    Where do you smoke your pipe?

    Most of the time I do it on my Ham shack! It's away from the prevailing elements in season and technically out from the house, I sometimes too enjoy a bowl when I'm on my way back from work at night just to relax and clear my mind.

    Have You Ever Been Laughed At For Smoking A Pipe?

    I have get the occasional weird stare but I have never being on a situation where someone just be rude on their comments to me because I'm smoking a pipe... Most of the people comments are about where I get my pipe, what kind of tobacco and how long will take to finish a full bowl, and once on a...

    Oil paint for briar staining

    I quote from Wikipedia under the subject "Oil Paint": "Toxicity Many of the historical pigments were dangerous, and many pigments still in popular use today are highly toxic. Some of the most poisonous pigments, such as Paris green (copper(II) acetoarsenite) and orpiment (arsenic sulfide), have...

    What happens if I never smoke a whole bowl?

    I don't like how the tobacco tastes after partially smoking a bowl... if I'm for a quick smoke because of time or if I don't feel like going for the whole bowl I just pack half and go for it!
