    What Are You Drinking? October 2023

    Krupnik honey liqueur in a hot apple cider. I discovered krupnik this summer and eagerly awaited a cool evening to try it in a hot cider, and I’m happy to report my expectations were surpassed! I haven’t the faintest idea what else this sweet and heavily spiced booze might go with, but this is a...

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    Great call out on the buildup of gunk - early on I noticed my pipes that accommodated a filter stayed a bit nasty after running a pipe cleaner through it unlike my other pipes. Now I know better and just use a small cylindrical brush to clean out those larger bore sections meant to house the filter

    Movies that Make You Cry

    It had been a few years since a movie last moved me to tears (which is a shame, because I love how cathartic a good cry can feel) but my dry spell was recently broken by Everything Everywhere All At Once. If you’re not familiar, the movie is an absurd action-comedy about a Chinese laundromat...

    MM Quality Expectations

    If any of my MMs were off center, you’d need a micrometer to tell (or at least eyes better trained than mine!). I’ve never seen anything remotely close to this, and while I’m not buying them in bulk, I must have purchased a dozen or so over the last half-decade. I would definitely reach out...

    What are You Watching? [2023] Please Rate 1-5

    I just finished up How To With John Wilson, a very unique 3-season show that I would imagine gets a very polarizing response. I personally adored it, and find it very difficult to describe, so I’ll let the trailer do it for me: It’s extremely unique and very human, and captures the feeling of...

    4noggins order stuck for 12 days

    4 days for processing the order to ship doesn’t sound all that bad to me, honestly. Maybe I’m old school, but anything in the first week or so of placing the order is fine by me, it’s not Amazon after all! I think we’re a little too primed for instant gratification nowadays. It’s pipe tobacco...

    What Would You Like to Still Own from Your Younger Years?

    My sense of invincibility. Health anxiety is a real bitch. It’s exhausting thinking every skipped heartbeat is the end of me! I was prone to anxiety since birth, it runs in my family as far back as our history goes, but I’ll be damned if it wasn’t much milder in my teens and 20s. My youngest...

    Who Puts his Pipes Away for Winter?

    I smoke outdoor year round, but there’s usually a month or so in january or February where the harsh Canadian winter is too much for me. My girlfriend tries to get me to smoke inside during those months, but I just personally think it’s gross. When I was a student many many moons ago, I smoked...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    How do you like the ally? I have a steam deck and love it, always curious how the competition is doing. Such a great platform, so many games benefit from being so easy to pick up and play without having to play at the desk.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Avid gamer, have been since the start. Love any RTS game with a strong base building element, or tactical RTS games like Steel Division. Big on virtual reality for my flight sims - with a vr headset, a HOTAS, and rudder pedals, dogfighting is quite the blast. Expensive to get into but I love...

    Any chess players?

    Same here - it’s more or less the default thing my partner and I do if we’re bored. We probably play three or four times a week, and it’s a great time; she’s roughly as skilled as I am, so the games are always a tossup until the very end. I grew up playing chess with my mom almost every night...

    Cats & Pipes

    This is Piper, the best cat I’ve ever met. Loves tummy rubs, doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, and is as cute as they come. I found her behind a dumpster at a very difficult time in my life, and she brought me a lot of peace. Since then, one of my biggest priorities in life has been...

    Yup, It's Real (and legal) --- Women's Bare Knuckle Fighting

    It’s strange, I have no stomach to watch any bloodsport, yet I boxed in my youth and still spar today for exercise. Maybe it’s because we lacked the ability to leave people completely battered? At worst there was a broken nose or a bit of a black eye, in these pro fights people leave the ring...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Possibly the only aromatic I’ve found that I truly enjoy - C&D Black Frigate in my aromatic dedicated Washington cob, with a good book and a frosty beer. Enjoying one of the last hot evenings of the year in my neck of the woods, the weather is stellar. Warm air, mildly cool breeze, and not a...

    Yup, It's Real (and legal) --- Women's Bare Knuckle Fighting

    I’ve always held that there should be a compulsory year or two working retail or food service for people in their late teens, like mandatory military service some countries have. A lifetime of it is not something I would wish on my worst enemy, but I think a stint in those industries would help...

    This Ain't Tobacco. I'm Done.

    Ignore these guys - pipe tobacco sucks nowadays! The rest of us Canucks, in our inestimable charity, will take your cellar off your hands to ease your burden. Won’t even charge you a disposal fee 😉

    What are You Reading Now?

    Finally got around to picking up a copy of Blood Meridian - I’m about halfway through now and completely engrossed! Thanks for the recommendation! Dark and gritty and unapologetic in its refusal to conform to a conventional writing style.

    Experience with Consumer Cellular

    I miss my old phone. My job is in corporate telecoms, and so I have to be decked out with the latest iPhone and Apple Watch when I visit clients to align with our branding. Before this I had an old Samsung that was tough as nails and I loved it. It boggles the mind how many people line up to...

    Who Would Have Guessed a One Wheeled Skateboard Might be Dangerous.

    I went out for a hike last weekend and some guy was tearing up the mountain trail on one of these bad boys: Not really my style, but I thought it was neat that it was ostensibly stable enough to ride on a somewhat steep trail. I think they’re interesting, but the foot placement necessitates you...

    What Are You Drinking? September 2023

    On its own, it’s absolutely a little nasty. But it’s great in Caesars or for cooking - it’s salty, savoury, and has a uniquely shellfish-y taste that’s hard to describe. Not fishy, but tastes like the smell of a bowl of steamed mussels or clams! I tend to use it in recipes that already feature...
