    Keeping a Lid On It - Any Office Pipers Here?

    I usually don't smoke much in the summer except in the evenings after work. But, I would still leave it in the car - I use sun shades in the summer to keep interior from cooking during the day anyway.

    Keeping a Lid On It - Any Office Pipers Here?

    I keep mine in the car. Smoke to and from work sometimes (40 minute commute) and if I run errands during the day I'll sometimes pick up a few tokes as well. I would not use tupperware, assume it would get rancid pretty fast.

    Neil Peart Has Died

    My first concert was Rush at Philly Spectrum, Roll The Bones tour. Saw them again for Counterparts at the spectrum, then twice again at Montage Mountain for Vapor Trails and that cover album they put out. They always put on a great show. There isn't an "easy" Rush song to cover. I played a...

    Interesting Article to Help You Plan Your Cellar

    I'm at 16 lbs since I started significantly cellaring in early 2018 (two years now). About 10 lbs of Esoterica bags (Brighton, Stonehaven, and other Virginia based blends mostly). This year I'm filling in more flakes (Comoy's, SG and G&H, etc.). Most of my favorite blends have been around for...

    What Did You Make for Dinner Tonight?

    Going to be stir fry in the wok. Chicken with shitake mushrooms, snow peas, and little chinese cabbage things I picked up for curiosity's sake yesterday. That is, if I lay off the Pilsner Urquell. If not, then there may be a few finger tips in dinner as well.

    Done with Latakia, For Now

    My long term favorite Latakia containing blends are Penzance and SG's Balkan Flake. MacBaren's HH Latakia Flake is another very good one. All of those to me are creamy, sweet, and exotic tasting. Very little campfire or "hillbillies cooking hot dogs over a trash fire at the boat ramp" taste...

    Pipers Who Play

    2-3-4 fingers, or alternatively if you're double jointed in the fingers, first finger barre across D, G, B strings, open E ringing. Or you could barre major chord shape on the 5th fret. So many options!!

    Best Light Aromatic English Tobacco?

    Esoterica's And So To Bed. I also really liked the taste of Lane's HGL, but it left my mouth feeling like I gargled with hot candle wax.

    Pipers Who Play

    Yes, @sandollars GAS can be crippling expensive!! Guitar for over 30-years, even played a bunch of cover bands on weekends when I was younger (too much fun and I had a hard time keeping up with that weekend lifestyle once I turned 40). I have a tender spot for classical and steel string...

    Samuel Gawith Black XX Rope Review

    Now you need to try the Brown Rope. I bought a tin once and the nicotine level knocked me flat shortly after the charring light.

    Enlarge Pipe's Airway?

    Do you have a bench vice? I've widened airway by using the bench vice to hold the drill bit and carefully twisted the offending piece onto the bit. Follow BROBs advice for sizing the bit first. I do not advocate using a hand drill in one hand with the working piece in another. It will also...

    To Cellar or Not to Cellar

    I did not cellar until 2018. I smoked cigarettes early in life, but switched to pipe and cigars in my mid 20s (about 20 years ago). I gravitated towards VA flake beginning with bulk MacBaren VA#1 and then moving to the many wonderful McClelland blends. My tobacco acquisition habits were...

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    I try to keep at least one 8oz bag of each I can get my hands on, I really think Germain does tobacco right (for my tastes at least). They come pretty wet, and I think it's mostly alcohol based flavor. All the "aromatics" I've tried lost 90% of topping flavor after the tobacco is dry enough...
