    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Red Rapparee in an Irwins 676, with some Wild Turkey 101 Rye Part 1 of my big work project is done; 2 more to go. First was worst: now I know all the pitfalls before I start the other 2 parts. I hope.

    Pipes and Ham radio

    i think I read that in "The Victorian Internet" (pretty good book, if I remember correctly). I guess if you spent that much time sending and receiving, you'd learn to identify that. Similarly, at the place where I worked a dozen years ago, I learned to identify who had written program code by...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Is that a Cuban? I've tried the non-Cuban Cohiba Red Dot mini, and it didn't appeal to me at all: too bland for my taste, and poor construction.

    Green Bay, Wisconsin, Meetup?

    I've done some checking, and that weekend wouldn't work for me either. I'm filling in for our pastor on Sunday, and will need my beauty sleep Saturday night: a trek to Green Bay wouldn't work out. I'll try for next time, whenever that may be.

    Hello from Cornwall UK

    Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where lots of Cornish miners came in the 1800s to work the copper and iron mines. Pasties are very popular up here: you can get them everywhere.

    New from Perth, Western Australia

    Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! I haven't seen Father the Flame but I hear that it mentions Negaunee, Michigan, which is about 15 miles away from me. I'll have to watch that one of these days.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    After a long day and evening at work, I’m enjoying a nice bowl of Pegasus in the Falcon, out under the fall stars.

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    I’ve changed opinions on Pegasus a few times. When I first tried it, in a cob, I really loved it: it was nutty, toasty, and sweet. I had numerous other tobaccos to try, though, so I jarred the Pegasus and left it alone for a while. A few months later I tried it again, this time in a briar, and...

    A Third Falcon Drops From Above

    I bought my third stem a few weeks ago, an international bent stem, to go with the chrome bent stem and the blue and chrome Shillelagh. I expected that the Shillelagh would be the favorite, but I almost always use the chrome bent stem: it's very comfortable for clenching, which I never expected...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    Earlier today I opened my first brick of Tabac Manil: Le Petit Robin. I only had a few minutes, so I had a quick taste in the MM mini, and immediately wished that I had time for more. Very good stuff.

    Cigar TAD 2024!

    I've heard good things about El Rey del Mundo, but haven't tried any yet. They're high on my list. My favorite budget cigar is the Curly Head Deluxe: they're on my short list of cigars to keep on hand at all times. Other cigars may have better flavor, construction, etc., but the Curly Heads...
