    Anyone Play Video Games?

    We got Starlink a few days ago, and I fired up Team Fortress 2, which I haven’t been able to play since 2019. I guess I’ve played a few hours of that.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Thid afternoon I’m sitting out on the deck, enjoying the sunny weather and a La Aroma de Cuba Connecticut churchill, from a fiver I ordered in July.

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

    What kind of HT? I bought an Alinco DJ-MD5TGP a few years ago to try digital, but ended up using it almost solely for 440. 73 de K8KT

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

    Holy cow, I go away for a few hours to pick up my truck and go the library book sale, and everything falls apart. Trying out this “relaxing” thing I’ve heard about, by sitting out on the deck and reading for a while, with some Capstan Blue in the Falcon. I bought the Capstan in March, tried...

    Leather Pipe Roll Experiences or Suggestions

    I bought the "RAW HYD" pipe roll on amazon (currently unavailable), and it's much larger than I expected. I'll probably never use it, but that's partly because I never go anywhere anyway ;)

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    After 4 hours helping the Starlink installer, I have 30 min until I have to go back to work. Just enough time for a Buffalo Trace cigarillo. Very nice flavor and aroma! And the photo uploaded much more quickly with Starlink, too.

    Wisconsin Sales Tax on Tobacco Starting Jan. 1, 2025

    That's certainly a positive way to see it! I think I'll stop at Boswell's and TobaccoPipes on my way there, too!

    Wisconsin Sales Tax on Tobacco Starting Jan. 1, 2025

    I really hope it doesn’t, both for you guys’ sakes, and because Wisconsin is my contingency plan in case Michigan manages to make tobacco unavailable someday/somehow. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

    Wisconsin Sales Tax on Tobacco Starting Jan. 1, 2025

    All weekend I was looking at that Pipes & Cigars 15% off sale, debating whether I really wanted to put in a relatively large order. Then I saw this message after lunch, added a few more items, and clicked the button. I don't even live in Wisconsin (anymore: I've lived there about 12 years at...

    Hello From California

    Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! I'm new to pipes too: started in March, after 6 months of cigars. The closest tobacco shop recommended "Smoker's Pride pipe tobacco", and the actual best it had was Cap'n Black. I'm thankful for mail order sites!

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    It was interesting to read the reviews on Blind Man's Puff, and see some of the similarities (tight draw, chocolatey and meaty notes) as well as the differences. At least one reviewer noted bitter black coffee, which I didn't get at all. I'd buy one more to try it again, but I don't think I'd...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I hope you're able to find something good which will make your vacation memorable! I really like the idea of hiking out to my neighbor's lake, and sitting on the shore with a nice cigar and/or pipe for a while. Then I remember that it's about 1.5 miles each way through wetland and forest, and...

    Cigar TAD 2024!

    The other day I opened up my cigarillodor and noticed that I only had 7 Undercrown Shade coronets. That was unacceptable, so I started preparing for winter by buying another tin today. And a Hemingway Best Seller, after watching Margeaux Hemingway in the classic “Killer Fish” yesterday.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Inspired by @BenMN on Friday, I’m having a Dapper Desvalido Disla Lonsdale I had never heard of this one before; I received it in a BL Luxuries blind buy, and honestly didn’t expect much. The draw is a little tight, but the aroma and flavor are very pleasant. I really like this one. Edit...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    Sounds like you want some Arturo Fuente goodness: they’re pretty easy to find. I can’t taste mild cigars, but have gotten cedar notes from Chateau Fuente, Hemingway…actually, Hemingway is a good way to go. Curly Head Natural (regular and deluxe) are both good, and cheap. I’ve never had a bad...

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

    Red Rapparee rapidly has become one of my top 3 favorite blends. So good!
