    Climate Change and Its Impact on Tobacco Quality

    He said "caused", as if it were the only factor. But that's not true. 1. There would have been no dust bowl without a drought, which come and go and was not man-made. 2. There was a significant impact on the health of the soil on the plains by decimating the bison. That was man-made. But I...

    Friday Discussion: Tamper or Finger?

    That's what the little groove on the inseam of your pants are for - running the nail along it to clean out pipe tobacco ash from under your nail... certainly your pants have those? Are you wearing deficient pants? :)

    Jim's Sutliff Cringle Flake (Holiday Edition 2024) Review.

    Watch City Cigar seems to have it still listed online; but I don't know how quick they are to update...

    What Sutliff Products to Purchase?

    I would NOT do any bulk buying right now with your inexperienced palate. Give it a few months. Try things that are readily available and have historically proven to be "crowd pleasers". Let your palate develop. There will still be loads of blends available in 6-12-18 months down the road. You'll...

    Climate Change and Its Impact on Tobacco Quality

    Few people know that only about 10,000 years ago, the largest freshwater lake on the planet was in the middle of the now Sahara Desert. That's a lot of NATURAL change in a short period of time that man had nothing to do with.

    I only buy pipes there so I'd expect a larger package if I were getting my SS present! :)

    Why Buy Tins?

    I actually liked this one enough I grabbed a couple extra tins. Of course palates do change and that was maybe 4 years ago? But I'm optimistic I'll enjoy it again in the future. I do lots of variety and I think that helps keep my palate from totally fatiguing...

    Picking on Brits a Bit

    We used to have a nice distinction between brake lights and turn indicators. I must agree that I've noticed a bit of "blurring" between these lately, and it can be aggravating. As well as making some of the brake lights "blink" in association with an actual different light as a signal - VERY...

    How Much of Your Favorite Blend is Cellared?

    I don't have a favorite, I have some "preferred" blends. Looking through some of my bins, it would seem that I've a couple pounds of a few favorites that accumulated after grabbing multiple tins and putting them away. Only one preferred I've a couple pounds in bulk. Although I do also have...

    Picking on Brits a Bit

    An unwashed egg has a layer of protection that protects the egg and it is not needed to be refrigerated for an extended period of time. It was normal here in the past.

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Been under the weather a bit, and at one point I was out for 35 of 40 consecutive hours. I'm pretty sure that I had Krampus on one shoulder and Nick on the other, each giving me slightly different encouragement about what kind of items to include for my overly picky recipient palate discerning...

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    Continue to be grateful to have found some that bring you pleasure. If the aberration is due to the past covid infection, it seems peoples altered perceptions last for days to years, no "normal" expectation on time to recover old sensory perceptions. Go with the flow.
