    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    And this is my daily when I'm on the factory floor. I was curious how much distance I cover in a day. This g shock tracks steps and syncs with my phone. I don't really sync it but it is cool that it automatically updates the time. So far it has been bulletproof.

    Artisanal Pipes

    I would also add a shout out to Carmette pipes made by our very own Clickclick. My Carmette smokes great and Adam was great to deal with.

    That's It I Quit!

    If it gurgles, use a pipe cleaner (or careful flick of the wrist). Too much smoke/flames coming out of the bowl=need less fire. No smoke out the bitey end=need more fire. Don't overthink/force it. Enjoy. It will come together in time. Stick with it.

    Need English Recommendations

    Blends with a twist? Count Pulaski, Burma Road, Russ' Tastykake. HH Latakia Flake great on its own. Spritzed with spiced rum and left to age (including time on the dash of a hot car in the sun-recommended by the man himself) really sublime. Grab a blend you like, aromatic even, and throw in...

    Solano Red Label - Scotch, Or Tropical Flavor??

    What kind of scotch flavor are you looking for? An Islay would be substantially different than say a Speyside (non peated). Perhaps there are blends that would scratch your itch even if they don't list scotch as an ingredient.

    Neat Little Mystery Pipe with a Strange Button

    I would extent another guess, Briarcraft, who I believe made the BBB line in the states. Any stinger, or bone tenon? They were fond of these.

    Solano Red Label - Scotch, Or Tropical Flavor??

    It's been awhile since I smoked through my last tin of Solani Red Label. I too was intrigued by the mention of scotch. I think maybe the person blending it could have been drinking scotch, but it did not come through at all for me. I don't recall it being overly tropical either. I know, not...

    Favorite American pipe in my collection, Carmette #125.

    What's Your Preferred EDC Knife?

    Totally agree. This is one of the USA made models.

    What's Your Preferred EDC Knife?

    Mostly it's the S30V blade causing the difficulty. But there is a strong argument for an easy to sharpen blade.

    What's Your Preferred EDC Knife?

    Not much love for Buck. This is the one I carry most. A bear to sharpen but holds an edge longer than anything else I've owned.
