    What are You Reading Now?

    I've been struck by an itch to reread the Umineko series. Just starting today with episode 1, "Legend of the Golden Witch". In brief- 1986, Japan. The private island of an extravagantly wealthy family. The patriarch confines himself to his study. Having been given six months to live, he...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I saw this thing at the tobacconist the other day, said "Jesus Christ what the hell", and promptly bought one for the sheer novelty factor. Asylum 13, 80 gauge.

    How Many Open Blends?

    Five open pouches, a big glass jar thing that probably holds 8 ounces and is full, one mason jar, and about ten open tins.

    Any Guesses as to What this Mystery Object Might Be?

    There were giants in those days, and their size was equalled only by their nerdiness. That's a d12, for greataxes and barbarian hit points.

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

    Bowl 41 in the figurehead, in the local lounge. 'tis Crooner. Congratulations also to this pipe for being the third I've named - "Jeannie C", after the Stan Rogers song.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    The Espresso variant is my favorite. Hmmm, coffee-cheese.

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

    Bowl 35 in the figurehead. It's War Horse, because I'm a man of habit and the Martial Equine has never wronged me.

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

    Bowl 30 in the figurehead meer- some Half and Half that I tried infusing with creme de violette because I didn't like Half and Half very much when I tried it as-is. I think it's picked up some flavor from the blend-scraps that I jarred it with, and I'm getting a little tiny note of the violet...

    Whats the Coolest Smoking Pipe?

    As others have already said, it mostly comes down to experience. However- I was consistently smoking hot when I started, so I got a meerschaum - I figured something that couldn't catch fire or get burnt through would be good training wheels.

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

    Last of my semois, bowl 25 in the figurehead. Got some help flavor coloring on her hair and the bowl's rim.

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2024

    Stan Rogers, "California". One of my favorites of his, but not one that I go back to very often.

    How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?

    Water. Coffee. Tea - used to be a big fan of Russian Caravan with my pipe, need to buy more of that. Most recently, I've taken to bringing my bottle of aquavit with me to the lounge, let the caraway cleanse my palate as necessary between puffs.

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    Eh, I can get behind fried gonads. Specifically fried! Then again, I'm allergic to shellfish (developed after I developed a taste for crab rangoon and fried clam, of course) and my bucket list includes "Eat horse".

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

    10th bowl in the figurehead - last year's homegrown, spiced up with a bit of DFK.

    Bonsai?

    Working at a tourist/field-trip destination farm last Fall, I picked up a couple acorns that fell me near me. Don't think my oak is quite developed enough to start bonsai-ing it, but that's the eventual plan. All of maybe five or six inches high so far, little nub on the side where I guess a...

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    It's my new favorite pineapple-coconut drink, having had probably four other ones over the years.

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

    Visions of Celephais, Bowl #6 in a figurehead meer I bought the other day at a local B&M. I've found the cleavage is a cozy niche to rest a finger in, and am very interested in seeing how those finger oils/grime affect coloration.

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    Last night after dinner, a round of Painkillers.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    While showing SPC to a novice the other day, I saw that the price of War Horse was higher than I remember. And of course, Maryland's tobacco tax is going up in a few months, so...
