    Neal Stephenson.

    C Cryptonomicon has to be my favorite. Closely followed by Reamde. Snow Crash was also splendid. Seveneves was nail biting.

    Neal Stephenson.

    Canticle for Leibowitz was a good read.

    Booze in the Bowl?

    No need to clean cobs. Dry out the cob after a smoke is about all you need. Make sure to take the stem out and dry the shank. You might also want to clean out the chamber with pipe cleaner of something gets caught in there souring the pipe. Never seen anyone seasoning the cob.

    Tobacco Dust - Uses

    If I have enough left over in a jar, I'll top off the bowl I'm about to smoke. But usually too little to make much of a difference. There gotta be some meat to it to catch ember. Most are too dusty and just fly off once lit.

    Got Back From ER.

    Yeah, those guillotine ones are hard to cut anyone with. Unless you say "I'll show you a trick" and somebody volunteer to stick their finger in it.

    Got Back From ER.

    I would go with bayonet charge first. That firearm hasn't been fired in some time. Just my thoughts. With my luck, it will blow up in my hands.

    When the PipeGods Give You Lemons... Make a Hamburger

    With skills like yours, that lemon can turn into wine.

    Got Back From ER.

    Never really thought about it, but smoking pipe, sipping port and shooting off some rounds at random sounds like a peaceful afternoon activity.

    If that's you house gun, you might consider an upgrade.

    A Tale of Two Pipes

    I know I would prefer a new pipe. So, all mine are new, other than one that was gifted to me by a very generous forum member. And I know I like Peterson, so all my pipes are Peterson. Every pipe smokers are different. Some prefer estate, some new, some mixed. As long as they bring you happiness...

    Got Back From ER.

    What kinda monsters take away cigar cutters? Was it self-sharpening or was it scissor like? If it was one of those scissor like cutters, the airport security might have thought you might circumcise everyone on the plane. Pretty weird for a terror attack, but who knows.

    The Sweetest Draw?

    Yupe. Totally agree. Last 1/4 is the best smoke. Has all the right notes.

    Got Back From ER.

    You know the old saying "a man without a knife is a man without a life." I know it's Faroese proverb, but more knives I have, more full of life I am. x)

    Losing My Taste For Tobacco

    Take couple of years off. Your system might be fatigued from smoking. Happens with Lat smoker. It happens with vape smokers. It happens with cig smokers. No need to sell you tobacco. After couple of years, they might taste great again after a readjustment period.

    Got Back From ER.

    Not me. My mother. She's fine. High blood pressure, and migraine. She had stroke previously, and thought it was best to check in. She was at her doctor's for routine check up and they called ambulance. Just checked her out and had dinner with her. But the story I'm about to tell is.. I only got...
