***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***
First smoke in nearly a week was Presbyterian in a MM Dagner Poker. A nice reward for a surprisingly minimal cleanup following this epic rainstorm that is still not done yet. Of course, watching silver flirt with $80/oz. at the weekly market closing was reward enough. 9/10 Bird report: Mountain...- Servant King

A Festivus For The Rest Of Us
You ain't kiddin'. Up better than 10% on the day...never could've guessed it'd flirt with 80 down the stretch. What a finish! And gold not too shabby either, holding nicely at 45. 4k is the new floor there. Only question is when it'll pass Bitcoin as they effectively trade places. Again, I'm...- Servant King

PS Bullseye Flake. What a Difference a Year Makes.
Fair enough. I'd probably give one of my Flake Medallion tins a try first anyway, but I'll see what happens to the Bullseye over time. Worst case scenario I've got some solid trade fodder.- Servant King

It'd have to get well into triple digits before I'd even entertain the idea, much less actually pull the trigger. What blows my mind is the 58.4 G/S ratio. I can't even remember the last time it was below 60. Got up to 112 or so during the Covid moment. Unreal!- Servant King

PS Bullseye Flake. What a Difference a Year Makes.
Reviving this thread, mainly because I've got a batch of LBF that I jarred right around this time, late '22. I'm here at the three year mark, and now I reallllllly want to try it. Knowing my penchant for indecision (not to mention my OCD), I'll be going back and forth about it until it's closer...- Servant King

Minimal Happiness Requirements?
Top ramen's a little bitey right out of the package. Cube cut it and that goes away. The chicken flavor tends to fade in the last 3rd of the bowl though... puffy- Servant King

A Festivus For The Rest Of Us
I know, right? I had to do a double-take when I saw it, since I remember it closing just shy of 72 before the holiday. $1+ in a matter of minutes is pretty noteworthy. Like Bitcoin in reverse! :ROFLMAO: I've noticed that a lot of the big price spikes come when the US markets are closed. The...- Servant King

Minimal Happiness Requirements?
I'd probably be just fine with a vanilla aromatic, a VaPer or straight VA flake, an English, and an aromatic English. First thing that comes to mind for each is Sutliff 1M, Stokkebye Navy Flake/MacB VA flake, Sutliff Sobranie Match (either one), and MacB Plumcake. Of course, this hypothetical...- Servant King

Recognized that intersection immediately! SE corner of Sunset and Highland, right smack dab in the middle of Hollywood. I also recognized the dance studio directly above the insane PETA drone's head, as I briefly made out with their African-American receptionist circa 2011. True story!- Servant King

Y’all Are A Bad Influence
You must not think that highly of us...like we're all stupid enough to fall for a line like that! Seriously though, what is it? 50 lbs.? 100 lbs.? Or is it hard to get a proper weight reading because your house is now on a tilt?- Servant King
