    Manual Transmissions

    Hahaha..... corroborators My last "antique" Corvette was a 1972 with a 406 small block and Crane solid lifter cam. It had a tricked out quadra-jet, loved the secondary kick in the ass. Photos, or it never happened (in a former life)

    What Are You Listening to (March 2020)

    Do you REALLY want to know???? Helena by The Misfits.... and so are all my neighbors! Gotta love a song about quadruple amputee BDSM.

    How Do You Guys Feel Today About This Virus?

    I generally stock up on basic consumables every few months, and coincidentally this month was the time to stock the deep freeze with seafood, get more toiletries (TP, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) and need to get more dog food this weekend. Don't eat much meat anymore other than seafood. I did get...

    Pipe/Tobacco Smell in Room

    Move them out of the bedroom. Beyond that, who pays the mortgage?

    Prepper Order

    Not a good idea, I strongly advise against it. I'd just buy as you need. Translated to German = DontyougofukingupmypendingorderbeforeIcanclickcheckout

    Gawith & Hoggarth Consistency (or Not): Fluke or Typical?

    Yes, it's still a flake per say. Just the trimmings. Now you know, and knowing's half the battle - GI Joe

    Gawith & Hoggarth Consistency (or Not): Fluke or Typical?

    Thanks all! Yes, I figured the second tin was just scrap edges mashed in to make 50g; "flake shake" if you will. Guess I'll get a box and see how 500g looks.

    Gawith & Hoggarth Consistency (or Not): Fluke or Typical?

    Bought two tins of GH Best Brown No. 2 Flake recently, never had it before and was curious. The first tin was simply awesome, echoes of SG Best Brown and FVF but easier to dry and light. Nicely stacked flakes. Opened the second tin last night. Bunch of broken flakes jammed into the tin, and...

    Where to Get Esoterica Stonehaven?

    As noted above, Stonehaven is great when the stars align, but due its fickleness I smoke it maybe once a month. I'm still working my way through a bag I opened two years ago, and that's giving a few ounces away over the last year. When the stars align, the flavor and aroma reminds me of an...

    Whats Your Favorite Plug Tobacco?

    Peterson's 3P had something in it that made me sick. My favorite plug that has not been mentioned thus far is Wessex Gold Brick. It's good, simple, medium body and lightly sweet.

    Any Love For Wessex Blends?

    I finished an open tin of Brown VA Flake last night, and have Gold Slice and Gold Brick both open. I'm almost convinced the Gold Slice is Brick but sliced. Guess that kinda makes sense, given the names ? That said, like subsalac says above, the basic backbone of these Wessex flakes are very...

    Manual Transmissions

    I needed to purchase a new commuter last year, and if I was going to shell out cash for another car I wanted a late model sedan with all-wheel drive and manual transmission. Those were the two options that were a must. The only company I found in the US that had those in a late model car was...

    Everything Tastes Flat

    It took me almost 4 weeks following a bout with the flu earlier this year. It affected all taste: coffee, food, beer, pipes, everything. Taste come back slowly in 4th week, and by week 5 it was glorious.

    H.R. 2339

    We have elections coming up. Would somebody care to post those representatives per state who voted "yes" on this bill?

    Do Brick And Mortar Pipe Tobacco Shops Put Stock Aside

    Yes. BUT, I have been buying 90% of my pipe tobacco and cigars at the same two local B&Ms since I began my tobacco journey in 1996.

    Thinking About Switching to a Safety Razor -Any Advice?

    I've had the same Merkur 34C for over 10 years, and it works great for me. Feather blades, so sharp you can't feel any drag. I also have a fancy badger brush, bowls, etc... but to be brutally honest just wetting the soap puck and then applying directly to the wet face in circular motions...

    How To Fight H.R. 2339 Legislation

    Steve, Thanks for the link. Maybe I'm just becoming a curmudgeon, but I am disappointed over the lack of proofreading in our society; it is truly becoming an epidemic. The standard letter that the article links to includes the incomplete sentence "This is one of the most steps in preventing...

    Bulk Tobacco Mold?

    I lost the bottom half of an 8oz bag of Esoterica Dunbar to mold a few months ago. I had jarred it in a freshly washed and dried jar, but I hypothesize that there was a speck of water remaining in the bottom of the jar. The mold looked like a hazy white flower starting to form on the inside...
