    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    I love my job. Any fellow canucks here will attest to how predatory our telecom rates are - we price an essential service as a luxury good. However, my job is bringing mobility and home service discounts to employees of companies as a compliment to their employee benefits package. It’s a...

    What's For Dinner?

    Potluck dinner with the family, was a great and wildly eclectic hodgepodge of food! Started out with snacking on sushi, and pico de gallo, followed by a Greek salad and roasted veg with halloumi, then a mushroom risotto, then apple crumble for dessert. F for meal cohesion, A+ for taste. The...

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    A cheeky couple of vodka sodas to ring out the weekend! Still trying to nail a solid recipe for a simple and light citrus-y vodka soda. Guess I’ll have to experiment a little bit more 😉

    Birthday Presents to Yourself

    That makes three of us! Small world, I never get to meet fellow Christmas babies!

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    I've always heard that the true roots of the saying "the customer is always right" is "the customer is always right in matters of taste" - If some mouthblind guy wants his steak well done and smothered in ketchup, or to wrap his car in day-glo pink wrap, then their dollar spends just as well as...

    Some Ghosts are not so Friendly!

    C&D Autumn evening for me - made everything smell slightly of maple sugar for weeks afterward. Personally, I found it really clashed with almost anything I smoked. I still haven’t brought myself to open the jar again, but I’m loathe to throw tobacco out.

    What Are You Drinking? November 2023

    I’ve just tried (and subsequently fallen in love with) lapsang souchong, a black tea dried over a pinewood fire. I would imagine it to be a polarizing drink, tasking like a pine campfire smells, but I’m firmly in the love side of the spectrum. Finding something totally new and unexpected and...

    Great Photos Thread

    One of the more photogenic mushrooms found on our weekly hikes! I don’t have an eye for photography and mostly just take pictures of the plants and mushrooms we find for identification and cataloguing purposes, but I thought this one turned out rather nicely by accident. It roughly follows the...

    Why Do Aromatics Have a Bad Rap?

    I always like watching threads across any forum that fall into the timeless debate of whether language should be prescriptive or descriptive. I think it’s neat that the same debate that raged two thousand years ago still rages today in almost any context it can exist. Smarter men than I have...

    Trick or Treating: How Old Is Too Old?

    100% my stance - if you dress up, you get candy! I always make the mistake of buying too much anyway, so it saves me a couple pounds of fat to burn off by giving away as much of the excess as I can. I’m just happy to see people participating and celebrating with their friends and family...

    Manhunt in Maine

    Brutal, but sadly not surprising. Mental health care has gone down the drain. It’s a complex issue without any magic solution, but what little mental health access there is largely requires someone to actively seek it out, and have the means to act on it. Which more or less eliminates those who...

    Um, Interesting Pipe, #2

    It’s normal that they’re not both the same size, and I won’t hear any different!

    All Pipe Smokers are Weird...Except You and Me.

    I say this with nothing but love in my heart - the latter gentleman looks like he might take your firstborn if you couldn’t guess his name 🤔 I admire the impish energy he exudes, it’s aspirational for me

    What's For Dinner?

    Wish I had taken a picture, but I made rich man’s mushroom soup. Thought it would be clever to shake up the “poor man’s x” trope, where you made a fancy dish cheaply, and instead took a simple dish and made it a little more indulgent than normal. Browned a kilo of crimini mushrooms, tossed it...

    Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?

    A good 2,000 years ago, pants were considered by the more developed civilizations as something only barbarians would wear. Maybe they were onto something! Between toga parties in my 20s and my avid use of a housecoat at home, I think there’s something to be said about letting the boys air out...

    Beloved Tobacco Blender Greg Pease Diagnosed with Pipe Acquisition Disorder

    I swear I’ve been jump scared by this post a half dozen times this month 😂 They really are well done aren’t they? I’ve so far resisted PAD, opting to smoke with simple cobs and a cheapo capri I picked up nearing a decade ago, but photos like those put a real itch in me.

    That looks suspiciously like a member of this fine forum 🤔

    Great Tobaccos With a Taste to Match Their Room Aroma?

    In the early days of my pipe smoking, my girlfriend gushed about some Latakia blend I was smoking and begged me to smoke it inside now and then so she could enjoy the woodsy aroma, and I foolishly thought I could get away with any Lat blend indoors. I tried smoking a bowl of pirate kake later...

    New Photojournalism Technique?

    I just saw this (More than a little obnoxious. Much more.) advertisement for the new Google phone coming out, and it shocked me with how easy editing has become, with it being built into default camera apps nowadays. I also distinctly remember reading about phones sold in Asia having...
