    Introducing: Trustworthy Tobacco Review Co.

    Brilliant! Just brilliant! :LOL:

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    A mysterious package arrived today! Well, not too mysterious, because it did have a name on it, but it's not someone I know. Now to wait until Christmas to open it. I'm TERRIBLE at waiting! I'm probably going to shake the box at least 5 times daily between now and the 25th!

    Smoking a Pipe at 36

    1980 was a very good year.

    Anyone Else Still Feel Like It's Still September?

    Hey, look at that! I also lived in Minnesota for about 15 years (10 yrs in Northfield, 5 in St. Paul) before moving to Tucson. I traded 7 months of winter for 7 months of hot summer. I joke that I'll need to be here another decade at least for my body to achieve climatic equilibrium. You've...

    Some Of The Worlds Hottest Spices

    I love hot foods, but only to a point, and these days I have to make sure there's a gap between the heat and a pipe, or I can't taste the pipe at all. Hot sauces can be fantastic if they take advantage of the myriad flavors that chilis produce. The ones that are just hot for the sake of...

    Royal Yacht

    I mean, occasionally. He's got a couple dozen reviews up there, at least. :LOL:

    Royal Yacht

    I do. Both the robustness of the VAs and whatever that topping is. Looks like some RY is gonna be thrown in a future TAD order!

    The Joy of Sitters

    I also love sitters, and most of my collection will sit in some way or another, some a little more cock-eyed than others, but good enough to not spill the tobacco all over the table. My favorites are bent sitters, for the exact reason that you describe, @mso489. I also appreciate the older...

    Royal Yacht

    This is also on my list, if for no other reason than how polarizing it seems to be. Anything that polarizing has to at least be pretty interesting, right?

    Amen, brother!

    Smoking a Pipe at 36

    I suppose I am no longer technically a part of this group, as I turned 40 this past summer, but I still probably look young enough for some to think I'm in my 30s. I don't really get a lot of weird looks, but I'm not really paying too much attention either. Generally, I get compliments more...

    My New Castello Old Antiquari "GG"

    Nice pipe! Congrats! I do not yet have a Castello, but I have my eye on a sea rock when the right one and my budget intersect.

    My Apologies

    I thought it was hilarious, and I didn't see any ill will or malice, although I suppose it might be possible to have interpreted it that way if one looked at it at a certain angle. I think you should re-post your review, maybe with a new name/no reference to a forum member? Or, you know, try...

    First Impressions: Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired & Escudo Navy Flake (and a Quick Question)

    Nice write-ups! I have to say that I did not enjoy ODF when I first tried it a few months ago. It's still sitting in a jar on a shelf, so maybe it's time to give it a second shot. Escudo is one of the gold standard VaPers, and it was one of the smokes that introduced me to the genre, and...

    Do You Finish The Bowl

    Most of the time, I do, and when I have the time, as well as a perfect bowl (pack+tobacco moisture), I'll smoke the dottle too, all the way to ash, unless it begins tasting ashy first. Occasionally I'll smoke a portion of a bowl and come back to it, but I prefer to make sure I have the time...

    Nose "Grease" To Clean Pipe Rim?

    I don't know how I missed this thread. Freakin' hilarious! I use spit on a paper towel or I will just stick a new pipe cleaner in my mouth (no bristles, thank you very much). I may be on my way to being a shiny-nosed tipsy old Irishman, but I'm not there yet!

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    I ordered a bit more ammo for this today. It'll be here in AZ soon, and then immediately after it will be on its way to its intended victim! Bwahahaha!

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    You are correct that it is quite nice in Arizona, although anywhere in the Sonoran Desert is going to have very hot summers, sometimes brutally hot. In Yuma there are weeks in the summer during which the temp does not drop below 90 F, and it'll be 110-115 F during the days often in the middle of...

    What Are You Listening To? (Dec. 2020)

    Really been digging Joey D lately. Amazing stuff!

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    I have to say I admire your passion for your area of the world. I just checked the climate averages for Regina, and anyone who can, with a straight face, say that the climate there is better than coastal southern California probably ought to work for the Saskatchewan Tourism Board. :LOL:
