    Damn straight! And don’t fuck with my rocking chair either. #40goingon70.

    Tobaccoreviews.com

    It’s all a conspiracy! Should we call it Qageezer or Geezeranon?

    Tobaccoreviews.com

    Yep. This right here. My most used browsing function on the old site was the alphabetical brand link. And it doesn’t even look THAT good. I mean, the old one looked like web design circa 2002, but the new one only advanced us as far as 2010 or so. I don’t like this change. Does that...

    Tobaccoreviews.com

    Yep. It was down last night while they were making the change and I had a “crap, they nuked it” moment. Not sure how I feel about the changes. It looked pretty crappy before, but it was functional and easy to use.

    Anyone Else Snag Some C&D Beast?

    I picked up a couple of tins. Glad I did it last night too! I was thinking of waiting til this morning. Also picked up some Windjammer, some Bijou, and some Sixpence.

    What Do (Did) You Do

    Thanks! It was a long haul, but it will (hopefully) pay off in the end. I'm in Tucson, and I play at Dove of Peace Lutheran Church. It's a rather modest church with a very supportive staff and congregation and the best music program in town. We're in the middle of building a new organ, so...

    Giving Away Cellar

    This is the correct answer right here. Good on you, @alaskanpiper!

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

    Enjoying a bowl of Stokkebye LNF in a Comoy's Regent Prince (Shape 337).

    P&C IPSD Cigar Pack In

    Likely leftover inventory of some sort. If this is the DE sampler then those are some pretty good smokes, especially the Undercrown and the Nica Rustica. They aren’t super premiums, but they certainly aren’t crap.

    P&C IPSD Cigar Pack In

    Those are some pretty good cigars, some of which use the same leaf as DE’s super premium cigars (such as liga no 9). Many of the cigar samplers out there are indeed full of dog rockets, but not this one. And if you really came to that conclusion without knowing anything at all about the...

    SmokingPipes vs PipesandCigars

    Oh boy. This one should be fun (these two retailers have been discussed here ad nauseum in the past, especially PaC). Pipesandcigars for the lower prices. SPC for everything else.

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

    Tucson. I wanted the largest scope I could reasonably fit in an SUV, and move by myself. Someday when I'm a bit older, I won't be able/willing to move such a large scope around, so I wanted to live in big dob land while I could. And it helps that we have dark skies and some of the best...

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

    Nice! My interest began with monthly trips with my dad to the Goldendale WA observatory when I was a young lad. My first “real” scope as an adult was a 10” Newt on a dobsonian mount (the Orion XT10). This past summer I bought a used 17.5” Dob with setting circles and go-to, and even though...

    Cleaning Routine

    This right here. Little known fact about pipe tobacco: Unlike a cigar, you can finish half a bowl, leave the pipe, come back hours later, and light up, and it'll taste just fine (sometimes even better than when you first lit it).

    Shocking Lack of Knowledge

    I've noticed this in all aspects of retail these days. Want piss-poor advice on how to remodel your house? Ask most of the people at home depot. Yes, there are a few "experts" there, but most of the employees are just rubes who need a paycheck. I don't begrudge them for this, but the fact of...

    Nice hood, professor! Also, I've been meaning to ask. Does your user name imply an interest (or expertise) in astronomy? Amateur astronomy has been a hobby and passion of mine since I was 10!

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

    Enjoying a bowl of MacB Burley Flake in a Geppetto bent dublin. This is the first time I've tried folding and stuffing a flake in a while (most flakes I smoke are either the broken flake C and D variety or the wet-as-hell Gawith variety), and it's burning great!

    Another One Bites the Dust

    Also, we should plan a Tucson pipe smoking gathering!

    Another One Bites the Dust

    The ACE (Anthony's Cigar Emporium)? It's pretty terrible for pipe tobacco. I've been in there once. They had 5-10 Stokkebye bulk blends and that was it. The ACE on Oracle near my place on the NW side is somewhat better, with a small selection of tins. I'll pick up something from them from...
