    RIP Shannen Doherty

    Jesus, 53 is practically a baby. Apparently she was first diagnosed with cancer at 45, what atrocious luck.

    Happy Birthday!

    Enjoy it gentlemen! I’ve always wanted to participate in a 4th of July celebration, there’s something so inspiring about the fight for independence and how deeply engrained it is in the collective culture of many Americans. Have a beer for me!

    🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

    What a Canada Day! The RCAF was celebrating their Centennial anniversary this year, and had a fantastic low altitude parade of some WWI, WWII, and modern planes, including two F-35s that visited us from the 158th based out of Vermont, as well as the Italian Frecce Tricolori. I’m a massive fan of...

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    Plenty of aromatics that I don’t particularly enjoy, but there’s only one I’ve ever thrown out - Autumn Evening. So sweet it gave me a toothache, and ghosted a cob so badly I pitched it after. I imagine it would be a big hit with the average six year old with a sweet tooth though 😂

    D-Day and Modern Folks.

    The Apollo 11 crew had to go through customs after returning from the moon :) The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    What Are You Drinking? May 2024

    Just tried some homemade ginger beer I’d been fermenting - ginger, lime, yuzu, plenty of sugar. The verdict? Terrible. Going to have to try again, play with time and ratios. Oh well, half the fun is in the experimenting. Shamelessly reappropriating that idiom. I’ve a friend who, when we visit...

    What is Your Favorite International Dish?

    Hard to pin down a favorite, but it’s a rare day that I’m not craving gamja-tang, a Korean pork backbone stew. Fatty, spicy, tangy, and immensely restorative. I could also dig through a bucket of spicy Korean fried chicken with a gochujang glaze until I hurt any day of the week. I didn’t...

    Coffee or Tea?

    Both! I drink a single shot espresso in the morning, then it’s tea for the rest of the day. Big fan of loose leaf gongfu style brewing, where I can enjoy steeping the same leaves all day and enjoy the way the flavor develops. Big fan of Yunnan Sourcing, it’s amazing quality at an even more...

    Studies on Pipe and Cigar smokers - Inconsistent!?

    As with all things related to health and nutrition, exact science is not an exact science. Too many confounds to control for completely; all you can do is try to quiet the noise as much as possible. I doubt we’ll ever know just how dangerous pipe smoking is, just that it is in fact dangerous...

    First Outdoor Smoke of the Year

    I always like to say that whatever the weather offers us, it pays back with interest!

    Returning to Canada with Tobacco: Receipts Required?

    Generally speaking (ymmv) is that if properly declared, customs calculate duties based on the posted weights. If not properly declared, most agents will calculate duties off the weight of the tins (or if they’re feeling particularly rude, the weight of the entire box). Which sort of makes...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Been on a real deckbuilder kick recently - this and Inscryption on the steam deck have killed my productivity at work the last week or two 😂

    How Many Open Blends?

    I’m sitting on about 175 open jars currently, but trying to reduce that over the next few years to no more than 20. I’m just a sucker for trying new blends, and I lack the patience to wait until all my opened jars are done before I try whatever the new blend is. It’s an illness. I’ve been...
