    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Once you hit page 50, you’ll have realized that it doesn’t matter ;)

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    The other evening I tried Father Dempsey in a Falcon, and found it to be less flavorful than in the Irwins 676. I speculated that the filter ring might be the difference, so this evening I tried Dempsey in a Falcon with no filter. It was good, but still not as good as my memory of the briar...

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    In order to find the origin of "Som Besths", I read through the entire PMSS 2023 thread today. Now I wish I could find the answer to the question, "What am I doing with my life??" That answer may never be found.

    Neal Stephenson.

    I read Cryptonomicon, partly because of great reviews at the time, partly because it has a Perl program in it (and I was doing a lot of Perl at the time). It took me a few tries to get started. I really enjoyed the counterintelligence side of the story, and have been thinking about reading it...

    What are You Reading Now?

    After I finished Millennium last week, I ordered the DVD because I could not remember the movie at all, and watched it a few days ago. That's 90 minutes I'm not getting back. I've read John Varley's account of how the movie turned to crap, and have seen it before, but I watched it again...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    This evening’s first bowl is Oriental House Blend from user @MCJ , which he sent me with some other samples back in August. It’s very pleasant with a nice aroma. Smoky, a little tingle on the tongue, and then I'm getting cocoa too. After it goes out, I get some creosote; relighting gives me...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    The Padron was part of a very generous trade--especially generous on the part of Mr. pantsBoots! I'm thankful that I could at least somewhat keep up! But even though maduros aren't my preference (over naturals), I'll never turn down a Padron of either sort: they're both very tasty.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I'm glad that you enjoyed it (and nice scenery)! I'm afraid that I'm not refined enough (yet) to get the flavor from the maduros: the naturals have a little more flavor kick to me. I will say, though, that these are my favorite of all the maduros I've had.

    My match won’t be displeased, I promise, and I’ll even send more than 2 tins to make sure:

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    We have 2 deer stands that came with the property, which is a shame because I don’t hunt! But we’ve seen a lot more bear than deer this year, anyway. My neighbor has seen several, though, so I hope his luck holds in a few weeks! I love my Falcons. Maybe a bit too much: those are all I used from...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    I was planning a nice, leisurely afternoon with a cigar, but the snow, 40-50 mph winds, and household chores laid waste to those plans. My consolation prize is a nice Falcon of Father Dempsey (overlooking the driveway my neighbor and I resurfaced on Saturday). Unfortunately, the breeze is...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Father Dempsey in the Irwins 676 I’ve had the tobacco for a few months but didn’t get around to trying it. That’s unfortunate, because it’s quite good. I’ll be buying more of this in the future.

    Nice area! I haven’t been up there since the mid-80s, but it’s always nice to see shots of the north woods.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    It’s been a busy, eventful week, and I wanted to try something new (to me). I’ve never had a My Father before, partly because I heard the “pepper bomb” description after buying this one. Even though too peppery for me, it was a nice cigar: easy draw, good chocolate notes, and it didn’t wind up...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    I missed last month’s C&D sale, and was glad to see it come back this week. I’ve started running low on Pegasus, so I decided to remedy that situation: now I have to learn a bit about cellaring larger amounts than I have done in the past. Thanks to the $10 sale on C&D tins, I picked out a...
