    L.J. Peretti 150th Flake

    Esoterica Kingsbridge Fans: Is This Normal?

    I’ve only ever seen that “kind” of stuff in a tin of some aged 1792 Flake, and it definitely was bad. If yours smells alright, I’d think it was probably okay though.

    My New MarTelo Classic Brindle Billiard

    The photo I took somehow made it appear paneled, but it’s a classic round billiard. There is something to be said about the look of a well-used pipe!

    My New MarTelo Classic Brindle Billiard

    Twice it got all the way from Brazil to my post office in Ohio, and on the day it was to be delivered, it got sent out to Chicago and was returned to Brazil. Very frustrating! Both times, I called USPS and asked them to please stop the Return To Sender order, but they said that was not...

    Tonsil Stones??

    They are an inevitable part of having tonsils. People who don’t think they get them just don’t notice them haha. It’s just food and bacteria buildup in the cavities of your tonsils, I believe. I’ve had them occasionally since childhood and I haven’t noticed any increase in frequency since...
