What Cigar are You Smoking? - 2022
I've smoked through a box of 2020 #5's recently, and they definitely vary. When they're great, they're GREAT.- spicy_boiii

Richmond Show for 2022 is Cancelled
I cancelled my plans to go when I saw it wasn't at Sutliff. Wonder how many others did as well...- spicy_boiii

Where Is Our Ettrick puffer?
I also enjoy his posting. Hopefully he digs his way out of the bog of eternal stench and comes back home.- spicy_boiii

Top the Tobacco…
Very interested in what you think of the final product. Sometimes I'll pour the end (mere drops) of a drink on the top of the inner paper inside a tub of Carter Hall. I think it's worked great actually.- spicy_boiii

Wellbutrin
Good post telescopes Caveat: I haven't used Wellbutrin save for a week-ish 14 years ago. It didn't agree with me. What I will say, as someone who has an intimate relationship with the effects of, and how to deal with, my own anxiety and depression, is that many drugs or drastic changes in...- spicy_boiii

Merchant Service Table Pipe
I try to make good on my word, which was made harder this instance from having a bad case of the 'Vid. The Merchant Service Table Pipe is a quality piece of kit. No issues to speak of. Chamber is definitely bigger than advertised, 1.5"+, which is a pleasant surprise as the advertised size...- spicy_boiii

Worth Growing 20-30 Yenidje Plants Next Year?
I starved the stuff for water and grew it in very dry, hot conditions. Being that the esters or wax compounds that give Oriental tobacco it's signature flavor are produced in response to harsher environmental stimuli, I think my environment helped the final product. Terroir is a whole nother...- spicy_boiii

Worth Growing 20-30 Yenidje Plants Next Year?
I grew it, it grew very easily, sun cured easily, tasted great with that "unflavored soda" flavor. I say go for it. I thought Canik was very worthwhile as well.- spicy_boiii

Dunbar Takes A Dump
Very disheartening. I have alot that I've looked forward to opening. If the bags I have are not to my expectations I'll have no hesitation offloading all of it. In my eyes there's only one blend left that I have blind faith in (please don't fail me Sutliff!)- spicy_boiii

Nasal Snuff in USA?
I've had a Mr snuff shipment not arrive, but who knows that happened there I never made a stink of it. Toque ships very fast and I've had no issues with them. Cheap too.- spicy_boiii

Anyone Smoke RYO Pipe Tobacco?
During a late-night camping party, the revelers wanted cigarettes but there were none available. I had just cracked an old tin of Rattray's Bagpipers Dream. I rolled up some extra large cigs (with the help of an herb grinder), and what do you know, the cigs were amazing. I get bugged to bring...- spicy_boiii

Newminster Navy 400 Topped?
That's what I got when fresh. After sitting/airing out for a while I get more of a honey/citrus. What, in my perception was the topping, and what came from the varietals, I do not know. I would agree that it is topped, but not heavily, in fact it's one of the blends I first think of when...- spicy_boiii

Best Perique for Blending Your own Pressed Cakes?
I used to buy mine directly from D&R. I found that to be the best. No longer available. I'll recommend C&D.- spicy_boiii

Gallagher’s Rich Dark Honeydew Best Clone
+1, the only one I think of that could do something similar would be Gawith Hogarth, but I don't know if there's been any progress with getting Laudisi to order some of the less-than-common connoisseur blends.- spicy_boiii

Pipe Size Preferences?
.75 x 1.5 with a 3.5ish airway is my favorite all-around. I'll like Carter Hall and Heavy Oriental Englishes (very rarely) in a slightly wider bowl (.8-.82). Some VA's, as long as they burn well, are good in the low .7s. If I'm having a short smoke, or something I don't care if I finish, I...- spicy_boiii
