    Shane MacGowan Dies 🙁

    That's a really good song. I'd never heard it before. Thanks for sharing.

    School me on Cutty Shaped Pipes

    I have no information to provide either but that is a gorgeous looking pipe.

    Trying Out Gawith Blends and Sharing My Impressions

    I too have been enjoying your impressions of these various tobaccos. For years, I was scared away by the descriptions of the Lakeland essence but upon trying, have become a fan. I enjoy Ennerdale Flake and the other various offerings from G&H that I have tried. Probably my two favorites are...

    Vitamin N Uptake and Cold Weather

    I don't personally experience any perceived changes based on temperature. However, my brain requires frequent doses of nicotine throughout the day so nicotine uptake is a welcome thing.

    Good Eats: Thanksgiving 2023

    Very nice. What is your process for de-feathering?

    Krampusnacht!!!

    It sounds like a nice blend. Somehow I never heard about it till now and I guess I'm glad as my tobacco funds are about tapped out. Luckily, I still have a few tins of the 2019 Cringle Flake to get me through the holidays.

    Kajun Kake - C&D Classic

    I love Kajun Kake and it is a staple in my rotation. Like all tobaccos, opinions vary and it is not for everyone.

    How Do You Deal

    This^^^^ There are always going to be a** kissers. Always have been and always will be. There will always be drama and politics. As Sable mentioned, the folks running the business know who's capable and who are not. My advice would be to go to your job, work hard and provide the very best...

    Carolina Reaper Dethroned: Pepper X is the New King of Peppers.

    I used to really enjoy hot, spicy food and grew my own scotch bonnet variety of peppers. I used them often and in a variety of dishes. Unfortunately, my internal system has changed over the years and I now have very little to no tolerance for spice or heat. To all the thrill seekers that are...

    Your Favorite Exorcist Blends

    I've used Vincent Manil's La Volute with great success. It is a very hearty, unique Semois burley that is quite strong with deep earthy overtones. It is quite unlike anything I've ever smoked. It exorcises pipe ghosts for me in short order.

    A Brief Word on Fellowship and Cigar Shops

    Nice post. Back in the early to mid 2000's, we had a cigar shop here in Nashville called Uptown's Cigar shop. They had a very nice lounge area, great cigar and pipe/tobacco selection and a couple chairs with a table and chess board to sit and play a game if you were so inclined. I would often...

    Shooters and Hunters: What's Your Best Ever Distance / Accuracy Personal Record?

    I think we've all loaded a ball without powder once or twice. As you mention, it can be easy to do if you allow yourself to get distracted.

    Shooters and Hunters: What's Your Best Ever Distance / Accuracy Personal Record?

    I typically purchase the Tom Fuller black English flints from Track of the Wolf. Much depends on the lock geometry of your particular weapon and the temper of your frizzen. It's paramount that your lock/flint/frizzen combination throws good sparks. A good sparking lock can also be used with char...

    Shooters and Hunters: What's Your Best Ever Distance / Accuracy Personal Record?

    I do most of my hunting with a flintlock and yes, they can be finnicky. Attention to detail is required. A properly tempered frizzen, a good sharp flint, a well tuned lock, an open touch hole and dry prime are all important. Using actual black powder is a must as the ignition temperature is much...

    Love and Hate: The Tale of the Haunted Bookshop

    I'm a fan and purchase it by the pound. To quote Jiminks, "You'd better like nutty, earthy, dry, woody, unflavored bold burley with a few rough edges and hint of spice, or you won't like this even a little bit." I will admit that it does have a few rough edges and has a goodly amount of strength...

    Aye, it is much hated here as well I can tell thee! (Sorry, I'm watching Moby Dick, lol)

    Good luck with that, lol.

    Mindless Vandalism as Hadrian's Wall!

    If not punished for this, what's next for him? What purpose did he have for cutting the tree down? Is there no shame? A youth here locally was caught gut shooting a farmer's cattle, killing several. When caught, he was grinning like a Cheshire cat as if he had done something cool and...
