Ketchup - Storage and Uses
It has lived rent-free in my head for years. The entire show's brand of dark humor is hard to top.- K.E. Powell

The Robotic Future
There will always be a contingent of people who are indolent, even in a nation such as America where what Weber called the "Protestant work ethic" still remains a very powerful current in our culture. That being said, I agree with you entirely. This whole notion that people don't want to...- K.E. Powell

Ketchup - Storage and Uses
I like to keep packets of it in my car, just in case I have to hide out in the woods because I pissed off an interior decorator.- K.E. Powell

The Robotic Future
As you correctly state, it is hard to imagine this thread not getting locked as it is explicitly political. My own answer to your question, for instance, would require me to state that the very phenomenon you point out--that an increasingly aging population and advances in technology renders...- K.E.

Help a Fella Out with Burley
I love most families of tobacco blends. But burley is always #1 in my heart. It's just my cheeky way of expressing that. puffy- K.E. Powell

Tobac-cologne
By all means, take mine. If having a man card means my sense of masculinity is tied to smelling like a muskrat's cunt all day, then count me out. :LOL: To the OP: Ladies, like most human beings, prefer if the people they spend time with smell pleasant. If you want someone to sleep with you...- K.E. Powell

Pipe Suddenly Getting Hot
For the purposes of this thread, I am going to assume that you, as you say, smoking slowly, drying your tobacco, etc. I believe you when you say it, and more importantly, it allows me to dispense with the obvious. Let me ask a few questions, and let's see if we can pin this down. 1. What...- K.E. Powell

Best Pipe for Your Buck
If it helps you, I largely agree that Peterson is one of the best values among the factory-made pipes manufacturers. They've stunning variety in terms of finishes, shapes, etc. They have several pipes available in an army mounts, which offers the advantages of durability, ease of cleaning and...- K.E. Powell

Local B&Ms
Apologies for necroing the thread, but I actually found a proper B&M near my neighborhood! It is called "Chesterton Cigar Co." and they are based out of Steubenville, roughly a 30-40 minute drive from my home. They just opened up around 2021 I believe. Their selection of pipes and pipe...- K.E. Powell

Anyone Spot a Pattern Here?
I always found it odd that women who marry rich men get most of the opprobrium from the peanut gallery. Elderly, wealthy men know the risks, say, a sudden bout of buyer's remorse from their spouse can have on their bottom-line. These aren't ignorant marks. They've the wealth and power to have...- K.E.

Pipe Smoking Pearls Of Wisdom
I must say, this novel sounds very interesting and fun, so I may have to add it to my queue. And yes, I find myself agreeing with Horacio. But his reasons for not smoking a pipe are the ones that endear me to it.- K.E. Powell

When Forced to Choose Only 4...
These kinds of questions are always tough, but I try to approach them like this: instead of choosing blends that cover a variety of genres, I choose blends that cover a variety of moods. In that vein: For all day, no-thinking, no fuss, consumption: C&D's Haunted Bookshop For something savory...- K.E. Powell

What do you do with your empty tins?
Most go in the recycling bin, but a few others get reused or repurposed. I got a 8oz tin of Haunted Bookshop that I use to hold my pipe cleaners, and I got some Boswell tins I use to hold some basic office supplies (e.g. tacks, paperclips, etc.). I was humoring the idea of making some sort...- K.E. Powell

Favorite “Plain” Tobacco
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by plain, but Haunted Bookshop would probably be the blend I'd say fits this bill. It has no noticeable toppings or casings, and beyond a healthy portion of perique, is a pretty straight-forward burley bomb. It's probably my favorite "all-day" smoke next to...- K.E. Powell

Help a Fella Out with Burley
Welcome to the winning team, fishmansf. You already got some great recommendations here, but I'll add a few of my own. Boswell's "Old School" - a wonderful take on a classic style. It's essentially like a gourmet spin on Prince Albert. If you like the naturally nutty and cocoa flavors of...- K.E. Powell
