    I should point out most smoking was in the truck when Slope temps reached -20 or so on the Slope.

    Freezing Temperatures And Robust Briar

    Pipe comes out of a nice warm pocket, stuffed and lit, nice warm cherry exuding heat, held in a warm hand, I've had no problems over many years smoking, some of it in waaay below zero temps (North Slope oil fields). Anecdotal info is all I can offer. Of course, if the pipe already has some...

    Cairn Terrier vs. Black Bear

    Friends living a bit higher on the mountain than I had a Cairn who drove bears and moose to distraction nipping at heels of bears and moose. A real terror, drove 'em to distraction.

    I suppose not.

    Have you ever thrown out a pipe?

    Many times. If a pipe fails to deliver, after a reasonable time, it goes into the bin. Simple as that. No stories or, tales to tell of interest to other parties.

    Too Cold to Smoke Outside (Messing Around with Tobacco)

    Currently 5F degrees at my place. Just out exercising the dawg, Chuckit. I sit and smoke while tossing the ball. Just dress for the coldness and keep it down to five or ten minutes. And, yes it is too cold for a walk and smoke.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Witness by Whittaker Chambers. Most of it is a hard slog. A rewarding slog though , if you are interested in how the Communist Party infiltrated most of the US Government and controlled Foreign and Domestic policy in various levels. An autobiography of a fascinating and important American...

    Stem taste like smoke/ash

    Easy fix! If you don't like the taste, don't do that. Which leads to, "why would you do such and not expect the stale taste? Just curious.

    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    Three or four Dunhill blends from the 60s and 70s. Early Morning Pipe the most I suppose. But, there were/are plenty of other blends to fill the void.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    How many times have we been over this same topic before? Many. many times, I believe. And, I don't believe I ever suggested we cease discussing such subjects. But, it is observations over and over. It does appear to be what a few here love to discuss ad infinitum. So be it but, I also...

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    Come on! We are writing about a nasty habit we've chosen. nothing political about it. There is no defending smoking, it's a vice and a very anti-social one at this time. It's not a right, we smokers have simply decided to continue. Self-flagellation? I believe so.

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    Why would we want to spend precious time doing so? Oh, I bet they are hiding something? bdw And what do they gain?

    Perhaps we are blaming the wrong people

    It's all rather simple. Putting flame to various items, tobacco be but one, produces the carcinogens. And, society in general doesn't want their space impacted by smokers and stale smoke smell. Nicotine simply makes the brain a wee bit euphoric and is addictive. There is a percentage of the...
