    Looks Like the New Neighbors are....Trash

    My wife thinks I'm a horrible neighbor because I do not like talking to neighbors. Fortunately I live in a neighborhood that was built for privacy and most of my neighbors want nothing to do with anyone either. I will wave and do a, "Isn't this weather great?" once in a while but from...

    How Many Pipe Tobaccos Can You Tell When Blind Tasting

    I'm no Jimlnks. There's no way I could distinguish between tobaccos or what exactly is in the mixture. I could tell the difference between a Virginia or Latakia or a goopy aromatic and if I like it or not but that's about it. Burley by itself taste like nothing to me and Orientals........ I...

    Ignoring Content

    I think a large portion of the internet forum thing on any forum is exactly that. People think they are being incredibly original, creative, funny and special in their posts and not really staying on subject. I don't mind. It's what makes internet forums fun. You can't take this stuff too...

    Ignoring Content

    Maybe this is the codger in me talking but........ It is amazing how we want an easier and easier way of going through life on the internet when we can simply make a choice by clicking or not clicking on something, isn't it? I'm guilty of it and I'm sure everyone else is too. No wonder the...

    Cigars With a Cedar-Driven Experience

    For years my go to cigar has been the Fuentes Double Chateau precisely because of it's cedar flavor/scent/note/smell/feel or whatever it really is that brings out the cedar. I used to buy them 2 boxes at a time back when you didn't need to take out a loan in order to buy a box of cigars. I...

    Being a Codger is Hard

    On the bright side of codger........ I no longer have road-rage. I can drive and just shake my head hoping they don't kill anyone and feeling sorry for the passenger. Quite the change from pulling over and realizing "THAT GUY IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN ME :oops: .....!

    Being a Codger is Hard

    I have totally given up on some things....... At home I sit on the toilet to pee :confused:. Just standing there makes me tired and there's a mirror over the the master bathroom toilet and I'm sick of looking at myself when I pee......... Also, I can't seem to give up my collection of...

    Pipe and Tobacco Myths

    1. You won't get a good smoke until you "break in the pipe by building a cake in that bowl". I thought there was something wrong with me because I enjoyed the first bowl in a new pipe more than any following smokes. No cake necessary for me. I wipe with a paper towel after every smoke. Thin...

    I've Always Enjoyed Posts From (Member Appreciation Thread)

    I'm much better at pointing out how horrible people are than how wonderful people are . "Positivity" on internet forums is a negative for me. I don't like candy. I don't like aromatics. I don't like sugar coated anything..... The whole point of coming to a forum is to find the horrible...

    [Cigars] Open Glass of Water in the Humidor?

    If your cigars are still in their wrappers, they are not getting much benefit from any amount of humidity you put in there.

    Pipe Smokers Etiquette

    I'm just as anti-social when smoking a pipe as I am when not smoking a pipe. It takes a lot for me to even give anyone a chance to talk to me in public. And I try not to ever smoke in public. I can identify......... I have a couple of black German Shepherd Dogs that are trained as personal...

    Reviewing The Blood Moon

    I can't find any cherry in the flavor in Blood Moon at all. I know I'm pretty much alone in this but to me there is only a very slight chocolate flavor with a hint of vanilla but no cherry at all. A little too bland to smoke by itself. Using it to blend into other, stronger tobaccos mellows...

    Do You Ever Add a Pinch of Something to a Blend?

    If I don't like a certain tobacco or find that it lacks taste I'll mix it with something that is too aromatic or too weak on it's own. I recently found a small jar labeled, "This and that 5/2005" in the back of my tobacco closet. A bit dry but it has a kick of Latakia with something sweet. I...

    Briar Fox?

    I've been trying to fall in love with Briar Fox for the last 3-4 months since I bought quite a bit of it without having tasted it but it just isn't happening. I don't know about it tasting like cigarettes but it just does not taste like it's description. It does taste like....... :oops...

    Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

    These days one of the things I enjoy about smoking a pipe is the alone time. I used to smoke in my favorite bars and occasionally talk to people and that was a favorite way of enjoying a smoke but of course that train left the station a few years ago. Times have changed and smoking has become...
