    Greetings From Downriver, Detroit

    What Is a Pipe You Regret Not Purchasing?

    Never regretted not buying a pipe. There have been a couple Rad's that I wished that I had won, but quickly got over it. In the last days of EBAY tin sales there was a lot on sale for WEEKS of probably 50 cans of aged Christmas Cheer + 50 other McClelland Va's for $1200. Still kick myself in...

    Kayak Fishing?

    Always wondered if Orcas thought Kayaks were like tootsie rolls. Hard on the outside and soft in the middle.

    Pillows

    Another vote for Buckwheat -or- an extra-verte firm foam.

    Opera...

    It's interesting, I enjoy the Symphony very much. Can sit thorough the whole thing and come away enjoying the experience. Country, Rock, Jazz, Blues I like em all. I do love a great Tenor. I like Broadway and Showtunes. I've seen a bunch. La Boheme, Mefistophele, Carmen etc, and just couldn't...

    Tobacco Deliveries My Significant Other Does Not Know About

    I have 35% of my stash at home. She knows all about that stuff. It's mostly the older cans I got off fleabay and a bunch of jars. At the office is the "real" cellar. As Pres. Bill Clinton wisely said..."Don't ask...don't tell".

    Like Cubans- What To Try

    Tatuaje Noella (Nicaraguan) is the closest thing I have ever found to a Cuban. IMHO The sticks coming from Nicaragua rival the Dominican these days.

    Opera...

    Fan or not? It's the singular genre of music that I cannot stand, and I've tried. Seen some major productions....just shoot me in the second act.

    Indian Food

    Real Thai I have not had the opportunity, and have also never nibbled on a ghost pepper. May have done that when I was 20, now not so much. (burp) The Indian I have had over the years is legit authentic and I like it better that Americanized Indian (butter/cream based). There always that...

    What are Your Hobbies and Pastimes?

    Work is my life + Hobby. It's 7 days a week (and I love it) so it's not really work. I retired from ultra endurance sports a few years back. Got tired of all the training. Started playing a Guitar@ 50. Just started playing Ultimate Frisbee this year @ 61 years old. It's a Freeken ball

    Indian Food

    I'm a big fan of spicy foods. Korean, Chineese, Thai, whatever. Nothing has the heat of Indian food. Deliciously painful stuff that will clean your pipes quicker than Liquid Plummer.

    PS Bullseye Flake.

    Nice review and spot on (Sabes is right, it's a different blend with 5 years on it). I like BEF fresh, but the flavors get sweeter and deeper with age.

    Bulk Tobacco Similar to OGS?

    Nothing I found is all that similar to OGS. It has citrus and currents that Newmaster and Stokkerbye doesn't have. The closest I found is Davidoff Flake Medallions (imho the most underrated va out there).

    Offical 2021 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

    LMAO at everyone getting their panties in a bunch over somebody taking another players head off in front of the net. Hockey has gotten SOFTER than Charmin. I still love watching it, but it's a very different game than 20 years ago.

    1839 Book Claims Urine was Used in Tobacco

    I must call BS on this post. There is no such thing as a great Irish Steak. ;)

    1839 Book Claims Urine was Used in Tobacco

    Urine was used in many processes back in the day... Skins typically arrived at the tannery dried stiff and dirty with soil and gore. First, the ancient tanners would soak the skins in water to clean and soften them. Then they would pound and scour the skin to remove any remaining flesh and fat...
