    Oxygen Adsorbers for Long-Term Storage. Yes or No?

    If you're putting tins that could potentially rust (oxidize) from the outside, inside mylar, then yes. At least, I have.

    Summer Intern

    Drinking. Drugs. Women. Even other career interests. But imagine explaining to your parents you had to pass up a veterinary internship because it "didn't align with your fashion sense."

    Habemus Papam

    Yes, but the fellow that replied to Telescopes wasn't (North) American, was he. See what I did there? So you can express surprise at someone from another country making a remark, but if you don't care what anyone in another country thinks it's a moot point, isn't it? Also? The half-page long...

    Habemus Papam

    I grew up in Georgia. I lived in Athens, and dated a girl whose family lived in Athens, Alabama! That was a long car ride.

    Habemus Papam

    I think everybody on this Earth knows what you think when you say America. I think you don't know what everyone on this Earth thinks when they say America. The Earth is big, and it doesn't revolve around one man, one state, or one country. But that only matters if you care about anything...

I think if an Argentine is telling you that they, and other South Americans call themselves "Americans" it is teaching you something about their perspective and history, which, I humbly submit is one of the benefits of traveling to begin with. But it's an easy...

    Moving to the EU

    I know Coimbra. It's quite a varied area--anything between a medieval student dormitory or a nearby vineyard ranch. But lovely, central, and full of expats.

    Moving to the EU

    I would check Portuguese law, but also firsthand accounts of other expatriates relocating to Portugal and possibly Spain. They're out there (and on pipe forums), you're not the first. My reason for stating this is that there is occasionally a difference between the law in print, and how it...

    2025 Chicago Pipe Show!

    It was great to see you too! It's hard when you're "working" the show, and even when you're not, as there's a constant ebb and flow of faces all day long. Having said that, nothing that can't be remedied! PM me your address!

    More about Latakia...

    My point wasn't that, rather the last two sentences.

    This wonderful blend still gets imported along with other Dan/DTM tobaccos. For starters... https://www.marscigars.com/cao-billbaileysbalkanblend.aspx
