    Does Cellaring Make Sense if You are Still Finding your Palate?

    Tobacco will never be more available or as inexpensive than it is right now.

    More Bad News for Canadians

    I think we're all losing sight of what's really important. Keanu Reeves is Canadian. Not sure if that means I need to use google more... or less.

    That sucks but is also 100% accurate.

    Hunting scope for 30-06

    Leupold rifleman 3x9. No muss and no fuss. Great for punching paper or anything else you're shooting at. Been a staple on my hunting rifles for 30+ years. VX1 is fine too, just a bit newer and 1/4 moa adjustments rather than the rifleman's 1/2 moa. Just match the scope to the intended use.

    WW2 Blends

    In "The Guns of Navarone" the dude just tears open a cigarette and dumps it into his pipe. It's on TV (now) which as I understand it was the 50s/60s version of "you can't put it on the internet if it's not true" Also bear in mind the "codger blends" like prince albert, half and half, Walter...

    Estervals Recommendations

    You're not going to find capstan blue cheaper than Estervals. Ever. If it's something you really like then buy it cheap and stack it deep.

    Sam Gawith Burnt Ends

    Just picked up a Costco brisket this morning for new years, that's what I was thinking too. ODF is pretty close to what I'd call a burnt ends tobacco.

    So that's what differentiates a "light" from "regular" cigarette lol

    Any ideas what this is?

    I'm 90% certain that's what you get when you leave the chute too lose when dehorning.
