    Do You Think there is Any Difference?

    The Sillems Black is unique with the Latakia. Not something usually in aromatics. I would say Lane HGL would be in the same vein but not necessarily in the same league. The price is right on the HGL so it may be worth a try (I recall it is RLP6 with some Latakia). Sutliff Count Pulaski would...

    Do You Think there is Any Difference?

    I don't think Frog Morton was quite as aromatic. This has more "flavoring" added I think.

    Do You Think there is Any Difference?

    I've got both. They're the same. And both great.

    Gaming the System

    I'm lucky to live in a city without an open bottle ordinance. It is perfectly acceptable to drink a beer on the sidewalk, and I do. Get out of hand and certainly there will be consequences, but I have never seen it become a problem.

    Finance a Volvo or Buy a Mustang?

    There's more neck snapping available for 12 g's. Way more. But a trunk full of rustica would make anything feel neck snapping puffy Go with whatever moves you :col:

    Can't Remove the Stem of an Unsmoked Kiko Meerschum

    Those Kiko's have a unique stem/tenon arrangement. I broke mine. There may have been a drill involved. I can only add a drill won't help lol. Unsmoked?

    Cigarillos Recommendations?

    Once in a while I roll my own using flavored papers. Especially good with aromatic pipe tobacco. Looks like you're smoking a joint but tastes like a jolly rancher.

    Finally Bought A Pete

    I think my pipe has the old coating or the stummel is stained inside and out. The bowl was jet black when I got it. In either case, I have not noticed any ill effects from the coating.

    Finally Bought A Pete

    It's been 3 bowls and there is substantial cake building. I have pipes I've smoked 20 or many more times without this result. I am a bit surprised, but not disappointed.

    Finally Bought A Pete

    Well I finally broke down and bought a Peterson. I've eyeballed numerous ones over time, even bid on some on the bay. But last week on a whim I stopped in to the local B&M and what do I find? A couple dozen tins, restocked bulk offerings, and a greatly increased number of pipes. Really a...

    I've Heard of a Stripper at a Construction Site Before, But Not Like This

    Lol I got invited to a contractor Christmas party once. Made that video look like church. A father son duo worked with me at the time and it wasn't 3 tenths of a second after going thru the door that I heard "don't tell your mother". I think the title of the main entertainment was "Christmas...

    Favorite Book Excerpt

    Women are often meticulous and safe drivers, but they are very seldom first-class. In general, Bond regarded them as a mild hazard and he always gave them plenty of road and was ready for the unpredictable. Four women in a car he regarded as the highest potential danger, and two women nearly as...
