    Storm Time!!

    Stay safe, Cosmic. I’ve moved between tornado alley and the Rockies most of my life, and genuinely miss the news from this weekend of 36” of snow in spring. That being said, I certainly will take mornings shovel snow and cleaning vehicles over my experiences with tornados. Lots of fun to watch...

    A Fun Orlik Deluxe Restoration

    Beautiful job!! I’m hoping to get a similar contrast on my next pet project.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

    My 5th or 6th bowl of this black pepper in a no-name French that I’m using to experiment on with carburetors.

    Texas Bill to Prohibit Sale of Flavored Tobacco

    My thoughts as well: it’s the device and delivery that they take issue with, not so much the tobacco; the TX bill cites an article focusing on menthol cigarettes. This is all predicated on politicians putting together independent thoughts and reasoning, though, so I won’t hold my breath.

    Texas Bill to Prohibit Sale of Flavored Tobacco

    Probably suited for another thread, but I mostly agree. I’ve donated my body to science (pipe smoker lungs and all), but some cursory research on for-profit cadaver companies shows a huge number of issues. Or you can just Google ‘bucket full of penises’ and see an example of the issue. Trust...

    Texas Bill to Prohibit Sale of Flavored Tobacco

    This is the same state that wants to make buying and selling human remains legal and profitable, but hey... it’s Texas. I just live here.

    What Are You Listening To? - March 2021

    I’ve been on a Social Distortion binge lately, sprinkling in some other cow punk bands and Mike’s solo materials.

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    We just finished “Sound of Metal” on Amazon Prime. Absolutely phenomenal film, especially if you have family/friends in the deaf community. I usually don’t put too much weight into film awards or critics, but this film deserves all the praise it receives.

    Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?

    This is one of those rare times my insomnia gave me a leg up! I got some to try and some to cellar. Then I figured that, since I’m placing an order, I’ll grab some other tobaccos. This, of course, led me to another site where I bought still more tobaccos, culminating at the natural endpoint in...

    Shot City

    I got my shots back in January, second dose (Pfizer) gave me a pretty wicked hangover the next day (fever, aches, chills, fatigue). A number of states are rolling out standby lists, where you can sign up for any unused doses at a clinic with short notice. There’s a site called Dr. B that covers...

    Resting A Briar

    Amazing pipe! It should be fine for a handful of bowls a day. You may check to see that there isn’t moisture pooling in the bowl/stem, but even that would take a while to ruin a pipe. As mentioned earlier- a pipe cleaner through it and around the bowl should do the trick.

    Its All In The Stem...For Me

    This has be a very interesting read so far- I’m a clencher, and often smoke while driving and am unable to really dedicate a hand to a enjoyable pipe. I have a couple of MM cobs that I use for aromatics, and find their soft stems easily form impressions with my teeth, thus becoming better...

    What are You Reading Now?

    This was a suggestion of a friend of mine, accompanied by his brilliant quip, “you like depressing, dark pasts, cosmic horror, and fly fishing, so you’ll love it.”

    What! Are You Drinking? - March 2021

    Pipe somehow didn’t figure into a fine evening on the balcony: just me, a cold Guinness, and new book.

    Lane 1Q Perfection

    Gold tin with this label that I probably bought it back in 2014/15. I was getting most of my stuff through CoJ's at the time (and still do), and noticed that I've only seen it bulk lately.

    What Are You Listening To? - March 2021

    Longtime Entombed frontman, LG Petrov, succumbed to cancer today at the age of 49. While certainly not everyone's cup of tea, they were absolutely wild live.
