    lol It's great to be gone for years and come back to find the Box Pass is still going strong.

    What Are Your Favorite Nicotine Bombs?

    Captain Earle's Ten Russians has given me the spins on more than one occasion. But for whatever reason, the stand-out Nic-hit I ever took was S&G 1792. That was the closest to booting I have ever come and enjoyed the blend enough to keep coming back. -Jason

    Ok, I'm Getting Worried

    Just throwing this out there... This thread will probably be closed by a mod fro breaking the "No politics" rule. God knows I'd have shut this thing down hours ago. Of course, then, some member would get pissed at me, take his ball and go home and we'd have our annual forum exodus. Sorry. I...

    My Smoking Days are Over

    Michael, I'm sorry to hear this. Personally, I am a bit bummed by this as (for me) you were one of the "old crowd" that used to frequent the forums when I first started with this hobby. While I haven't been on as often as I used to, I always had a little grin when I saw a post from you. Make...

    Unfortunately, this looks like a long haul. As it stands, the dark clouds aren't forecast to be dissipating any time soon. I'll move it along ASAP. -Jason

    2015 Box Pass Thread

    As I feared, the box has languished in my care, and for this, I apologize to the entire group. I packed it all up, only to realize I had forgotten to put in my additions. I will try to repack and get this thing out tomorrow, daimyo. Again, I sincerely apologize for the delay. Life it seems...

    2015 Box Pass Thread

    Due to a family issue, I have to get this thing moving before I've had a chance to plumb its depths. If I don't get it moving, I fear it'll get pushed by the wayside. Daimyo, if you're ready, let your voice be heard! -Jason

    2015 Box Pass Thread

    Heh. This Sunday I finally got to try something from the box. The Country Squire Baker Street is a good Latakia-forward blend. It's got more Latakia than I'm used to smoking lately so I'd classify this in the upper range of English blends and I think part of it is the Perique which is a...

    Wet Shave Club

    While I'm sure this works for some, my facial hair grows so fast, dense and coarse that most blades stop cutting and go to tearing/pulling after the 4th or 5th shave, which admittedly is usually about three-week worth of shaving. No amount of prep makes my facial forest soft enough to shave...
