    First Cob, First Filter

    My normal filter pipe, the one I use most is a Dr. Grabow Duke. I find the Grabow filter pipe to be pretty cleanly flush with the filter inserted. Perhaps this is the major reason that I tend to have success in my use of filters. Definitely something to think about.

    First Cob, First Filter

    I use filters occasionally. Some blends I enjoy so much I tend to smoke too fast and hot. When I get to the point of being bit by this bad habit, I find the extra restriction of air helps me to get back to proper 'sipping' rhythm.

    Great Documentary on American Tobacco Farming

    So this documentary is a bit dated, but I love the interviews with American tobacco farmers. I've been to Shelton farms (it's where I snuck my first cigarette). A member of the family is a good family friend, and she would always talk about their prominence in tobacco farming, but I didn't...

    Dinner Tonight

    Had some ' good looking' salmon patties from the local food city deli. Dry AF. I think I'll just make my own from here on out. It's a shame when you see something that visually makes you drool, but turns out to be mediocre. ???
