    Half Joke Half Serious Thought On Warnings.

    You're bad lol. All jokes aside, when I was that age my mother smoked around me so much that I got severe ear aches and infections. I remember going to the doctor several times about it before smoking was pinpointed as the cause. She stopped doing it around me and it stopped bothering my...

    Half Joke Half Serious Thought On Warnings.

    "Filter enthalt kunstoff" in English: filters are not OK, and filters in water make turtles sad.

    Does the US Military Still Execute Spies Discovered Within its Ranks?

    I can see why you would think that. Your suspicions are not unfounded, but that effect is more influenced by other policies and instructions, not the UCMJ. Check out the first DOD policy on "extremism" that came out after Jan 6, there's some... off... stuff in there, seemingly intentionally...

    Peterson My Mixture 965

    I wouldn't say 965 is similar to emp, but presbyterian is in the same ballpark and pretty good. Also peter stokkebye proper English.

    Thoughts or Stories on Hazing?

    Can somebody get me an ID ten-T form?

    Does the US Military Still Execute Spies Discovered Within its Ranks?

    No I meant that as a response to "The US military can no longer deal with its own bad actors.". The transfer of power is from the military commanders to the military court martial judges, and only for those certain special crimes, not for the original topic of espionage. The military is still...

    Does the US Military Still Execute Spies Discovered Within its Ranks?

    Are you talking about executive order 14062? Thanks for giving me a reason to go over it and not just read the admin info release. It doesn't affect espionage at all so no application to the original question, and it changes "Non-judicial punishment" to "court martial". Court martial is still...

    Does the US Military Still Execute Spies Discovered Within its Ranks?

    The change is that unit commanders can no longer be the judge and jury, carrying out "Non-judicial punishment". My understanding is that those crimes will be judicially punished instead and this is mostly for sexual assault cases. The regulations within the UCMJ still stand, it appears they...

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    They probably did that intentionally, they don't seem to care much for the accuracy of their data fields. For instance if you search "erinmore" under brands, Erinmore shows up as a brand with zero reviewed blends. You may find it strange that such a popular brand, while listed isn't actually...

    Thoughts or Stories on Hazing?

    This is one of those "traditions" that, as telescopes and david said, started to go too far. "Tacking on" started as a good gesture by fellow shipmates each sewing a stitch on a newly promoted Sailor's rank insignia patch. This represented how every member of the crew relied on you in your new...

    VaPers

    Welcome. If you like red VA, I recommend Sutliff 1849 for a good vaper, it has a nice proportion of it IMO.

    The Vegetarian Brigade's Latest Secret Weapon? [Wink].

    I have no problem with people being vegetarian or vegan... It's fake meat substitutes that I despise. If you think it's wrong to eat animals, why try to duplicate the flavor and texture? I think cannibalism is wrong, and I don't go looking for imitation human meat! Make your choice and stick...

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

    Corn Cob Fox. It feels wrong but it tastes so right.

    Plum pudding

    I have only tried the special reserve. It was very good, but when it was gone I looked at it this way: I could buy 2 or 3 more tins of it, or for the same price I could buy 6-9 tins of something else. There are just too many other great blends out there that I'd rather purchase 3X of, so I did...

    Missouri Meershaum

    Missouri Pride. I'm on my third pouch of the stuff. Supposedly someone at a pipe show said this is what Prince Albert wants to be when he grows up, IDK I can kind of see that assessment, but mostly I just like it. Great Dane is OK, American Patriot is too mild IMO. Country Gentleman is good...

    Hawai’i Ban on Shipping

    Just a short trip for work, leaving tomorrow morning. I got my curry manapua and a plate lunch and its time to go already. Loco moco with gravy on the Mac salad... 😋

    Hawai’i Ban on Shipping

    I just visited tobaccos of Hawaii about twenty minutes ago... The gentleman at the counter was quite nice. I will say that their pictures and description on the site of may different types of tobacco and "hundreds of pipes to choose from" must be from a time long past. They had two MM Ozark...

    Pot Luck Lunch

    I wholeheartedly agree. I find most inexpensive aromatics tremendously improve with the addition of some burley. Also, I recently made my own version of Sutliff's Eastfarthing using some of that Smoker's Pride vanilla with some english, and I think it was better than the tinned stuff!

    Getting Back to Pipes after Cigars - Advice?

    To answer your question on how bowl shape/size affects a pack and a light: I find that wider bowls accept and sometimes "want" slightly tighter packs, probably because there is more cross-section for air to pass through. Of course there are exceptions, like when smoking an unfiltered corn...
