    Cat safe tobacco drying

    Yeah, my dogs will scrounge for pretty much anything dropped on the floor. I'm very careful with my tobacco, but I have no doubt that they have picked up a tiny piece here or there.

    Do I need more?

    Holy cow, that really is a little hammer! I was expecting a regular tamper.

    Nomura In Tokyo

    From the photos It looks awesome. Unfortunately my wife won't be spending any time in Tokyo. She's going to Okayama and probably won't be making any trips to larger cities. I'm not sure if there are any good options there, but she's going to give it a try.

    What Are You Drinking? January 2023

    Goslings is indeed the original rum for a Dark and Stormy. It's good stuff and it was my choice for years. I mostly drink the Whaler's Rare Reserve now though because here in Oregon, with our state controlled liquor prices, it's half the cost of Goslings, and it's excellent. I believe it is...

    Light scuffing on Ser Jacopo Vulcanite

    If it's barely noticeable I would just leave it be. If it really bothers you you can buff it out with a manicure block or micro mesh pads.

    What Are You Drinking? January 2023

    I've tried the Apple Crisp and Peach Tea flavors of Stillhouse and they are both good. The Peach Tea flavor is spot on. Dark and Stormy is one of my regular drinks. The key is a good quality ginger ale/beer. I actually like the Kroger brand ginger beer, which is cost effective and as spicy as...

    Hello - total noob here

    Yeah, it's normal. Do some reading here on how to pack and smoke a pipe and keep at it for a while before giving up. It gets better.

    Briar Question

    Buying estate lots has enabled me to amass a nice rotation, and there are some nice, expensive pipes that I got in the mix for dirt cheap. I like cobs too.

    Musk Buying Twitter Part II

    I used my LinkedIn account when I was working, and it was indeed very helpful and almost a necessity for anyone working in IT. Once I retired I dropped it like a bad habit.

    Brown sugar, bourbon, pecan glazed salmon

    We're spoiled here in the PNW with our abundance of salmon. I usually manage to catch at least a half dozen every season, which keeps us supplied for the year. I smoke quite a bit of it.
