***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
Last smoke of the month is Mac Baren Navy Flake in a Savinelli Porto Cervo 122 rusticated pot, as I wrap up some chores and prepare for our traditional pot pie/Nightmare Before Christmas evening. First time trying fold and stuff with this blend--methinks I will go back to rubbing them out going...- Servant King

***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
Been a few days since my last pipe, and with an infrequent Mac Baren Plumcake exception, also been a few months since my last latakia blend. Loaded up a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated author with my 2nd to last bowl of ASTB (sample), and shared a glass of brandy with wifey in the workspace as we...- Servant King

PayPal Acceptable Use Update
Ah, so that's what that was! Okay I don't feel crazy anymore. Well, at least not about that, anyway. Looks like Paypal is now as useless as a 3rd tit. They've been getting more and more draconian over the years with no signs of reversing course. 'Twas only a matter of time, I guess...- Servant King

TAD Acquisitions 2024
Finally got my package, but methinks this may be the last time I use P&C. In case any of their PR reps are watching this thread: - There are no PO box restrictions in CA for tobacco mailing! You are misinterpreting a statute that does not apply here. Same goes for signature requirements--that...- Servant King

What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024
Don't mention it! Happy to give back to the community any way I can. BTW, Sutliff 507-C and Newminster #400 are two bulk VAs that are just as good IMHO, but a screamin' deal comparatively. All of us here are acutely aware of the ever-present twin issues of reduced availability and higher prices...- Servant King

Signs of the Tobacalypse
TP just began a SWR(A) sale, which I would think means that any abnormal supply issues are now in the past. At least until the next one! :eek:- Servant King

Long distant cellar transport
I'll second @didimauw myself...mylar is your friend. I have plenty of jars myself, but the prospect of a move causes me to shudder at the thought of broken glass intermingling with broken flake. So for that reason, bubble wrap is also your friend. Also, I'd opt for UPS or FedEx. I have limited...- Servant King

Hi from Seattle
Welcome to the forum, from Southern California. My condolences to your location--I would think stoking one's TAD in your area is exceedingly difficult. Such is life. Enjoy the journey! 👍- Servant King

***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
Going on a walk with wifey and mustang. Taking along Wednesday's unsmoked bowl of Mac Baren Navy Flake, this time in a MM Dagner Poker. Nice and crispy...just the way I like it! Bird report: So far, California towhee, California scrub-jay, White-crowned sparrow, Steller's jay, Band-tailed...- Servant King

***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***
Took advantage of a brief warm spell today with a half flake of OGS in a Foyard beechwood Rhodesian. If all buttons were this plump, I'd never need a softy bit again. 9/10 Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, House finch, Dark-eyed junco, California towhee, Band-tailed pigeon, American crow...- Servant King

Fernando Valenzuela Dies at 63
A bit before my time, but he certainly left his mark on the franchise. Suffice to say, the mood at Dodger Stadium on Friday will be far less jovial than expected as recently as yesterday. The traffic, however, will still be just as bad. Too young! RIP! @kcghost you're quite right about the...- Servant King

Found the Right Bulk Soft Bite Tubing
Got the tubing yesterday. Sadly, it is too small to fit even my most narrow bits. Too bad, because it looks like it would totally do the job otherwise. Oh well, seven bucks down the tube (no pun intended).- Servant King

Drew Estate Toasted Black Cavendish in a Savinelli Mattone 614 faux-Hungarian, as I prepare for the end of Sukkot. One might think this blend would be a Lane BCA clone, but it is not. More like Scotty's Trout Stream. 9/10 Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco, House finch...- Servant King
