    The cob looks unsmoked; maybe she wants you to break it in for her?

    On the Economical Operation of Light Bulbs

    Another advantage of LEDs over CFL is disposal, due to the mercury in CFLs. This thread reminded me of a recent article over at the Beeb - it's most illuminating.

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

    Having some MM Country Gentleman in an MM... Diplomat. Should follow it up with some WCC Simply Orange (to go with the stem, of course).

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    I've been using one of the Zippo inserts for a bit now, and yeah the flint ignition is way better than any of the piezo lighters I have. Have to be mindful of where the flame comes out, when I'm used to my regular pipe Zippo. Only burnt my thumb once so far 😌

    Midsommer in a fancied-up cob.

    Show Us your Zippo Lighter

    Some Zippos... the pipe lighter and the plain one (which has a Zippo butane pipe insert) are used regularly. The Steelers lighter was my (maternal) grandfather's, and if I recall the date code correctly, it's 1974 - first Steelers super bowl. The Elks lighter belonged to my paternal grandfather...

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

    Finally got around to trying Folklore (in a Stanwell BTW), and man that's good. Glad I like it considering that big slab will last me good long time!

    Enjoyed a bowl of Match Victorian in cob; now for some breakfast.

    PS LNF followed up with a mix of GH DBE & KG, Xaymaca on the side. Time for bed...

    Question about mixing tobaccos.

    Equal parts SWR and Sutliff 507-S stoved virginia is pretty decent smoke. One of those "I wonder how they'd work together" experiments.

    Oriental Blend Recommendation

    Not that it's anything special, but I got some Newminster "Oriental Pipe Cut" when I wanted something to show me what orientals were all about. Not bad, and it led me to try WCC Glass Slipper and Simply Voriental.

    What Is a Dried Out Classic Tobacco Worth To You?

    Puts me in mind of an old C. M. Kornbluth story... "Would you buy it for a quarter?" Maybe, if I liked the tin.

    In St Pete, Any Decent Pipe Shops Within 1-hr Drive?

    There's Edward's in Tampa, and Bennington's in Sarasota. I've never been to Bennington's but Edward's is pretty decent. Pipe shops are scarce in Florida, unfortunately.

    It's a Watch City day: Glass Slipper in an MM Diplomat for lunch, and Rouxgaroux in an MM Shire Cobbit for happy hour.

    BDE in a (redecorated) cob. Strong stuff...

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

    Earlier had some 2023 WCC Simply Red in the Yello-Bowl prince, now working on some Brown Sugar Flake in a Stanwell. With some Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA on the side because it's Friday (like I need a reason).

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

    2023 Rhythm & Blues in a Stanwell... quite a different smoke from the BSF earlier (and more user-friendly!). Ernie does good work!

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

    BSF in the Pipe Lon freehand again. Rubbed out more fully, dried about an hour, and a pretty good smoke. Not especially sweet but there's an intriguing earthiness that's going to keep me coming back for more, and the orientals stand out now and again. Too bad all the (non-latakia) Gawith blends...

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

    BSF in an old freehand. Promising; next time I've got to prep it more (more rubbing out and drying, I think). Gusty winds out on the patio didn't help... so the only thing to do is smoke more of it!
