Johnny Walker White Walker?
I had waaaay too much of the white walker this weekend. I had a buddy who had some blue label and this so I got to try it side by side. The white label is easy to drink, I tried it over ice and neat, preferred neat at room temp. Not a big fan of cold whiskey. I couldn't detect any peat or smokey...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?

As I'm getting older. about to hit the big 40 (I know, not that old to some) seems like we are just a couple old farts bitching about kids these days and married life haha. Good times! Crash - yeah thats what I need to do. Save...- jdhayes

Waxing (or maybe waning) philosophically: Hobby or habit?
I think a habit and an addiction are different things. For example, I may drink a couple beers in the evening time and smoke a pipe because I enjoy it, yes its a habit. Its something I do over and over everyday about the same time, but I'm not addicted. If for some reason I am not able to smoke...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
I am most certainly not an aficionado... of anything really :) Thanks for the lively discussion! I am learning a lot. I briefly read up on Connecticut shade tobacco, interesting. I also agree that some of the cigars flavor come from touching your lips. Which at first was off putting and why I...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
Oh yeah, its great quality time with my dad. He doesnt work anymore. A life of working at dynamite plants and pouring iron plus a motorcycle wreck has taken a toll on his knees. He picks my kids up from school and I hang with him, have a smoke, a beer and solve the worlds problems for about 2...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
I'm going to have to try some semois now too. Im not crazy about cigar flavor, I mean its ok. But I love the room note! I have noticed some pipe tobacco when smoked a little too hot or fast can take on a cigar like flavor to me. Royal Yacht comes to mind. Cosmic, I know the briary has a walk in...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
I think I'm starting to understand a little better. Thanks! My dad is trying to get off the cigarettes, he has tried a pipe but I dont think its going to be his thing. We have started to enjoy a cigar in the afternoon together and I'm trying to learn more about them. I dont think a $15 cigar...- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
So is cigar leaf something different than a virginia or burley? Or is it more of the curing process. Sorry if this is a dumb question, just trying to understand.- jdhayes

Why Do Cigars Smell Different?
Why? I have never smelt any pipe tobacco that smells like a cigar. I have cut up a cigar and smoked it in a pipe... still smells like a cigar :) I like the smell of pipes and I like cigars. Just curious why they smell so completely different.- jdhayes

New Kaywoodie Pipes
Very nice! I love my old estate kaywoodies, if the quality of the new ones are the same as the old ones then they should be a great pipe. I need to look into getting a new one to compare. I am seeing the estate kaywoodie's going for more and more money these days. Do the new ones have the option...- jdhayes

Flatworlders!?!?
The Earth is Flat!! Y'all are all wrong! I kid. I think most of the flatearthers dont even believe its flat. They do it just to argue something. I think they fall into the same group as the people who dont believe we landed on the moon and the mars rover is sitting in the Arizona desert. I weep...- jdhayes

I Hope I Don't Get Excommunicated For This
I think we can overthink simple things sometimes. I got lazy and found a pipe I like to smoke more than my others and started throwing whatever blend I wanted to smoke at the time into it. Sometimes I pick up on the taste of the previous blend, sometimes not. It has never been off putting though...- jdhayes

Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, TN—Pipe Shops?
I cant disagree with what Cosmic said. The Gatlinburlier is where I bought my first pipe 10 years ago. It was a full bent house brand and got a couple bags of house blended tobacco. Cant remember the flavors now, but I do remember one blend set my mouth on fire. Not a bad experience overall from...- jdhayes

Percolator Coffee
I remember my grandparents using a percolator when I was very young. I wish I had thought enough to save those old percolators years ago, but alas they are gone now, probably just thrown out. I am the only coffee drinker in my house, my wife even hates the smell of coffee. I have a french press...- jdhayes
