    Jim's Watch City Simply VOriental Review.

    As a big Va/Or fan and no stranger to Ernie's (WCC) blends, you are absolutely correct. I was going to do a long review but it basically boils down to - "It's good, but it will be amazing with some desperately needed time in a jar."

    Your Favorite Savinelli Pipe Shape

    I have a 601, which is like a magic pipe. It smokes everything perfectly. I have a new 673 that's needs to be broken in, a Roma Lucite. Definitely looks good, I have high hopes. As I'm a Dublin fan, I'd like to catch a 904 finished to my liking. I've heard great things and they certainly look...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Right now - Pretty much all Gawith Hoggarth, all plug Sam Gawith, All Condor, All Germains, Dunhill/Peterson Dark Flake, Don't know if HU is available in the UK (unavailable in the US)... There's a bunch. Good call though. If I get someone international I'd like to also include stuff that isn't...

    Any Grow Your Own Folks Here?

    I'll be growing air cured varietals in the future. Too much on my plate right now. The link provided above has kept my mind occupied for months - it's a great resource.

    Called D&R Today...

    Same. I'm trying to live a "There's too many good blends to be gouged" lifestyle. Haven't given in yet.

    Butter Thread

    I wish I was a fuck boy but my lady and receding hairline probably wouldn't let that happen lol.

    Butter Thread

    Challenge was the butter I ate growing up. It is unique from what I remember in that it had more fat. On the west coast (as I'm sure anyone around a dairy or cheese making area) we have alot of options of good butter, but I usually just get the Kirkland brand stuff at Costco.

    Called D&R Today...

    Bummer. Rimboche AB being canceled does not surprise me due to it containing, "Dark fired tobacco processed with a method like that of Perique". But Picayune? I think that is the most notorious D&R pipe blend. I probably only have about a pound and a half left too...

    Haddo's Delight

    I'm drawn back into haddos after it's improved so much with some air time. This tin is 10 years old. I just love perique so much! Damn you all! I don't need another blend to cellar! :ROFLMAO:

    Bot For Our Blends!

    I'd like to put in my two cents, I hope @Mr. Pink that it is not received as disrespectful, as that is not my intention. I admire your ability to create such a program and the skill needed to do it. I think that things now are at a fair playing field in the world of purchasing tobacco as is...

    Orange is the New Blue?

    California has been on fire for a while now, so orange has been the new norm when either the sun or moon is near the horizon.

    Knife Material Guide

    Completely non-scientific, but I like to look up the percentages of the different elements in a particular steel and compare them to something I'm intimately familiar with. Same for scale and liner material, etc.
