Hey guys, I remember seeing some announcement some time ago about tobacco trades on this board because of some auction site, but the details are blurry for me. Are we still allowed to hold tobacco trades or was this taken off?
Thanks
I love bacon and eggs! The breakfast for champions.
To make this board relevant, if you like bacon and eggs, I really recommend trying Vermont Meat Candy from Hearth and Home. It is delicious and tastes like maple covered bacon.
So jealous! That is the one I've been staring at myself. It is fitting because I'm a small, hobbit sized guy myself :lol: Please do tell how it smokes!
So I have two tins with me that are unopened: Dunhill's Nightcap and H&H Black House. My dilemma is that I only have one mason jar left to house one of these two in. Which should I open and smoke tonight?

Hans, then my question is, what is the point of shaking up the ashes if you're just going to wipe them out? I do clean out my stem frequently. I'm just wondering about this breaking in/cake building technique :)
Very well said. I didn't even know that this was a thing! I'm a new member myself and I just don't see how someone could feel comfortable enough to just outright ask like that. I mean, at least build up a relationship with this forum before making such requests, y'know? Sorry that you ended up...
Just a quick Q. To break in my Wellington, after each smoke to the bottom of the bowl I shake up the ashes inside and then dump the rest (as you can see in the 3rd pic), am I supposed to simply leave it as such along the walls to build the cake? Or am I supposed to be wiping out the ash after a...
