    Who’s Fond of Opera?

    I've never had an opera pipe, but I'm a pretty big fan of the art form. I've been in 'em, played in the orchestra for 'em, and sung and played a number of arias and excerpts in my career. My favorite opera composers are Monteverdi, Mozart, Verdi, Wagner, Alban Berg, and Phillip Glass. Wagner's...

    Hello

    Welcome from sunny Tucson, AZ! Don't worry. If you hang around here, before long you'll have 20 pipes and a wide variety of tobaccos to choose from. You might not have any more cash, but you'll be tobacco-happy!

    Yikes! Now This Is A Burnout

    And they also contribute more in federal taxes than than any other state, by a huge amount (200 billion more than Texas, which is #2).

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    Are you kidding me? You think that California doesn't have infrastructure problems that need federal funds to address? California has, by many measures, some of the strongest anti-corruption laws in the United States. Alabama? Some of the weakest. I don't wish to make this a Cali vs...

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    Great. So you've shown that California currently receives exactly what they give in federal tax dollars, and the SAME ARTICLE also shows that Alabama receives double of what they give in federal tax dollars. Thank you for proving my point.

    Buying Tobacco Online

    I think a lot of it has to do with margins. The prices we are paying online for tobacco are pretty close to wholesale, so a lot of online businesses need you to buy a certain amount in order to break even with free shipping, which is why you see the free shipping minimums. I can't think of...

    Smoking in the Home

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    Back to the original topic at hand, I can see why a municipality might enact an indoor apartment smoking ban. With shared walls and other systems, smoke (particularly cigarette smoke) can easily make its way into other apartments and pollute the air in someone else's home. While I believe we...

    San Francisco Banned Smoking In Apartments

    Not a Cali boy here. Grew up in Oregon HATING Californians, but you're just plain wrong. California, and many other high-tax high service blue states, pays more to the federal coffers than they get in return. Meanwhile, states such as South Dakota, Alabama, and Mississippi receive far more in...

    Smoking in the Home

    I smoke on the patio, on a walk, or (occasionally) in the car. Never in the house, other than to walk in and grab something with a pipe in my mouth. Tobacco smoke can be insidious, especially cigarette smoke but pipe smoke as well, and given that we are not planning on living in this house the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

    Enjoying a bowl of KBV's The Dread Planet (2020) in a Road Town bent pot. This is my favorite of Ken's Halloween blends this year. A great VaPerOr with Basma, Yenidje, and Katerini leaf.

    As Promised...

    I just tried this for the first time a couple of months ago, also from 2012. Great stuff! Smooth, light latakia, sweet Virginia goodness!

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

    Just enjoyed some Esoterica Dunbar in an OMS cherrywood poker while going on a long walk with the wife and dogs.

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    Hey, they wrapped your tins! VIP treatment! :ROFLMAO: Mine were all thrown in a much too big box with one set of packaging pillows that had popped.

    Hug Your Little Ones

    Jesus. That is heavy heavy stuff. I do not envy you right now, to have to try to explain things that can never be adequately explained to the most special 9-yr old in your life. Thinking of you, your family, and especially your little girl tonight. Hang in there.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    This morning, with my coffee, I enjoyed a bowl of Watch City Deluxe Crumb cut with a little Dark Bird's Eye thrown in for some extra kick. Smoked it in a MM General. Delicious! After a great lunch, I just smoked a bowl of Cult BRM in a Bones bent brandy. It was good, but I think I'll stick...

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    Well, I rubbed out about a bowl's worth, then left the Cringle flake out to dry for two hours or so, after which I though it could be a tad bit drier, so I nuked it for 8 seconds. I gravity packed it into one of my favorite Virginia pipes, a Sasieni two dot Bristol. I set up my smoking nest on...
