    Warning Points System

    I don't know what's wrong with me. The first time I read this post, I thought it said "taken to the point of veganism".

    Poutine

    Not to get political, but where is Prime Minister Jean Poutine when you need him? :LOL:

    Do You Have A Favourite Quick Meal?

    Favourite quick meal? Poutine. Sorry if this shuts down the thread.

    Canadian Plain Packaging

    Can you imagine if someone proposed plain packaging laws for booze? Or, no flavoured alcohols (because, after all, that only encourages children to drink).

    Canadian Plain Packaging

    No, there's still provincial and federal sales tax on that total.

    Canadian Plain Packaging

    For those who haven't seen Canada's plain packaging: I got this from my local b&m today. The price of tins is no longer shocking. Nice surprise that they have this revered blend in stock still. The green-brown labels are something else. I don't think I'll look at Lucida Sans Serif in the same...

    Luck With Petersons

    I have two - Christmas pipes from 2014 (B35 rusticated zulu) and 2015 (68 sandblasted brandy). They both took a long long time to break in. The 2014 zulu had excess stain in the mortise that took a while to clean out. Both have very tight acrylic stems. The 2015 doesn't pass a pipe cleaner...

    Still Smoking Too Hot. Need Help!

    What worked for me is longer, but much slower, draws (rather than quick, hard but less frequent draws). I think of it like fanning a fire in the fireplace: you don't give it a quick blast of compressed air for a second, then wait 20 seconds before doing it again. You give it a slow but steady...

    Anyone Speak This Language?

    edit: The graphic is from the following website: ダークラタキアブレンド群 についての取り敢えずのまとめ - 鳥とパイプと日本酒のおっさんメモ - https://blog.goo.ne.jp/matyagoo/e/1bd0b15ebdbd335c46e2c9d99063a8d4 I guess it is Japanese. Anyone familiar with these tobaccos, that can figure out how the blogger is comparing them? They all...

    Anyone Speak This Language?

    Hi. Saw this image while doing an image search for Lancer's Slices. Anyone speak this language, or could hazard a guess at what the axes are? I believe it might be Japanese?

    What Is Your Favorite "Complex" Blend?

    Uhle's Bishop's Move is a complex blend I enjoy.

    A Pipe With A Heat Sink

    Okay, we're obviously talking at cross-purposes and I don't know who pissed in your Corn Flakes, but "has anybody here actually touched a working heat sink" was a rhetorical question. I agree that a heat sink on a pipe is ridiculous.

    A Pipe With A Heat Sink

    My point, which you seem to have missed, is that heat sinks get hot. You want to be insulated from the burning ember, not absorbing all its heat into your hand.

    A Pipe With A Heat Sink

    Has anybody here actually touched a working heat sink? Briar is a great material for pipes NOT because it conducts heat, but because it is heat resistant and a very good insulator. If your pipe is getting hot, it's because too much heat is getting through to your hand. Adding a heat sink to...

    COVID 19 and Work...

    Police officer here. So, we have to deal with the regular murders, thefts, robberies, domestics and child abuse cases, PLUS I have to set up additional surveillance on Olkofri and Brian64's houses. AND I have to come up with a way to use Covid-19 to my advantage to seize their guns. Because I...
