    Please "School Me" on Perique.

    Simply I just stole the topic title since last time when I was trying to be too funny with topic name I got busted by the mod. Apparently I've just got busted again. I didn't choose the thug life... It's an interesting read. I like treating things in more broad setting like a part of culture...

    Irish Condor?

    Finally I dug up this thread. I didn't have chance to taste original one but I've got a pouch of Polish Ready Rubbed this summer and I liked it. I really enjoyed the rose, flowery sauce and didn't find it lackluster, will get some more in the future.

    Please "School Me" on Perique.

    I've just got a morning bowl of Mc Conell's Red Virginia (which is... red virgina with touch of perique) and here it comes. The black pepper taste is very prominent, fermented fruit tastes takes the back seat. So far what I know - perique it's some tobacco strain which sits fermented in it's own...

    Pipe Changing Colors?

    Well I hate to say that to you I am aware of that brand and they are not known for making very good pipes. I'm talking from opinions of more experienced and smarter than me. Also was told that pear is so so for aromatics not so much for something more. Again opinion of smokers more experienced...

    Need Help with Data Backup

    Something more from me. I'm not computer specialist, so from personal experience. I as far as I remember I never had a HDD failure, so maybe I'm lucky. I've got some pendrives where I have some files from like 2-3 years ago, they didn't dissapear, but I wouldn't relay on them. I've got 1TB...

    Well I never, a Cannibalistic Vegan!

    Well knowing how media works, blowing everything out of proportion to score a viral (like this one), even they wrote he is "accused" of doing something, not that he did it.

    Need Help with Data Backup

    Well, actually (ackchyually) solid state drives might be worse for backups than mechanical ones. They need the files to be accessed frequently or might loose them. So they are good as system disks ,not so good as external backup. "SSDs store data in electrical charges, which slowly leak over...

    Corncobs - maybe not always a good idea

    Just trying to get some answers and have some fun writing both at the same time, so some erotic fanfic vibes may indeed be here.

    Thoughts on Aging

    I think I have one funny story story regarding involuntarily "aging" tobacco and English blend. I've got a long time ago opened pouch of SG Perfection, I was smoking it from time to time but not to often, i don't remember this much, it was ok I suppose. So there was just some crumbles, like...

    Thoughts on Aging

    Talking about perique and Gawitth's Cabies, last time I got one I scored a vinegar bomb (and last time with this blend), so maybe some changes in recipes. Sorry, citing on this forum is acting weird for me, so maybe I'll do it like this: I’m just here waiting for “title edited for brevity”...

    Thoughts on Aging

    To be honest. I don't. I just bought it to try something different. Fresh from the tin it was unbareable (but "interesting" in way hot air tasting like fuit candy). Now, after short time in the jar it tastes like fruity tobacco, good for something different. So we are talking about keeping...

    Thoughts on Aging

    Title edited for brevity and hopefully clarity. Original- So apparently (contrary to popular beliefs), (just a little) cellaring might improve an aromatic blend (and "spoil" a non aromatic one) Ok, maybe a little misleading title. So I bought a tin of Devi's Holliday just for the kicks...

    Corncobs - maybe not always a good idea

    Probably you are right I still can't get my cadence right and pipe well lit at the same time, and when I get "that" taste I'm trying to chase it, but I didn't change that in this case, still flavor in briar was more robust, full. From harsh and empty to mellow and deep, from slightly sweet to...

    Corncobs - maybe not always a good idea

    Cob I was smoking was pretty well seasoned, briar I was talking about was pretty beaten up too, so we are talking about two pipes smoked many times before. Before that I wasn't even aware that they taste different (and I'm not talking about first couple of smokes tasting of corn). This time I...

    Corncobs - maybe not always a good idea

    Corncobs are always recomended to new smokers as a cheap alternative to "proper" pipes. They are convinient, cheap, good enough so why not. I must say I've got a "proper" briar but it's bulky, cheap pipe made by local pipemaker, maybe notch above basket pipes. It's not a good smoker (or maybe I...
