    DUNE is a Dud.

    I thought the movie was good, actually. They did a good job pay homage to the works of HR Giger and Alejandro Jodorowsky. Still woulda liked to have seen his nine hour, Pink Floyd soundtrack'd version, but he flew too close to the sun. At least we got Alien, Blade Runner, etc out of it.

    How Dry? A Good Place To Start

    Generally speaking, drying, unless the tobacco is ridiculously wet, is somewhat over-rated and I find something less experienced smokers tend to focus on due to its spread on forums as some kind of conventional wisdom. One must keep in mind that, along with the concept of cellaring, this is a...

    Are These Fissures Common and/or What Do They Signify?

    I bet this guy's tobacco was too dry so it burned too fast and got too hot ok ok ok, ribbing aside I do prefer moist tobacco and I've been doing it long enough to know what I like. Different strokes for different folks. anyways I'm off to go lick a wet dog and eat some damp cardboard for dinner.

    see, dry tastes like a rotten hay fire to me, so, there you go. Always more flavor in the moister flakes.

    eh. i don't dry my SG flakes and I'm good to go. If you jam it in there and rip on it like a freight train then yeah, definitely. as with every other variable in pipe smoking moisture level is a preference. i don't like crispy tobacco at all, some folks seem to think it's the best.

    Is There Any Blend That You Wish Were a Woman So That You Could Make Love to It?

    I put my dick in a tub of captain black instead of using KY

    Are These Fissures Common and/or What Do They Signify?

    Yeah, drying has nothing to do with burnout. I never dry my tobacco and don't get spiderwebbing or anything in my bowls. Heat matters, which can be influenced by cadence. Those are salvagable, but I'd reach out to the place you bought 'em from and see if they'll take them back. Since they're...

    Grechukin and Tupitsyn Pipe Availability?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Are there other sites outside of SP or Scandpipes that regularly stock Grechukhin or Tupitsyn pipes? It seems like they should have a larger distribution, but I typically only see one-offs outside of these sites. Just curious if anyone knows of...

    Any Morel Mushroom Hunters

    oh, and be sure to cook all wild mushrooms. There are exceptions (like porcini) that can be eaten raw, but eating raw morels for example will make you sick. Honey mushrooms are also known to cause, um, "intestinal distress" in some people, typically due to over-eating, which can be different...

    Any Morel Mushroom Hunters

    Verpa bohemica can be more easily mistaken Make sure the cap is attached at the stem, and that the stem is hollow. I hunt for several kinds of mushrooms. Flavor-wise, I think honey mushrooms may be among my favorites, but they can be a bit trickier to ID as a newbie. Hen of the Woods in...
