    Anybody Tried Circus Yet?

    It sure sounds strange/interesting, "Hardly has the flame kissed the tobacco than a salty caramel popcorn aroma takes over the ring. A broken Virginia provides a cool burn. Aromas of lemons wafting through the ring. The caramel sweetness gradually wears off and a creamy taste of honey spreads...

    Ventilation Systems

    If you're building, you have lots of options. By locating an exhaust fan remotely you can remove smoke from a room without having the fan located in the room. You just need to calculate the velocity of the airflow to see if it will be quiet enough for your needs. Incorporated into a new home...

    Motorcycle Riders’ Thread - Continued

    I had a Buell 1125r. Great, no, an awesome bike. It was the predecessor to the EBR 1190rs pictured. When Harley terminated Buell motorcycle company Eric Buell had a non compete. After it expired he started EBR, which is sadly now closed. World class bikes, made in the US.

    Vulcanite Drilling Speeds and Physics

    There is no rpm/centering relationship that I know of. Slower rpm is more forgiving. Spinning faster won't help centering. Centering is achieved with proper cutting geometry (even grind) and good drilling alignment. Set your speed based on the material. You will probably have to just get a...

    Thoughts On MB HH Latakia Flake And HH Balkan?

    One of my best recent smokes was HH Latakia Flake. I would certainly reccomend it. I have some HH Balkan but have not tried it yet.

    ATTENTION ALL MALES.....I am in Need of Advice

    I guarantee it will go better than the following, which is a review of Veet hair remover...(sorry long post, but worth it lol) After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been...

    Sutliff Old Professor: First Impressions

    :ROFLMAO: I've grown up and spent most of my life in MN and ketchup is too spicy for some here. A shame really. But I was born in Louisiana so my tastes tend towards foods with some real flavor. I too prefer my tobacco that way and find myself buying full flavored blends.

    Favorite BBQ Sauce?

    Lots of great BBQ ideas in here. Keep it coming. I've already got some ideas to try the methods mentioned here. Im on furlough next week. I think it may be time to fire up the smoker.

    The CRAZIest thing...

    The CRAZIest thing...

    I look forward to the pictures. Why the ozone treatment? Ozone is O3 and a powerful oxidizer. The ozone treatment probably caused very rapid oxidation. Perhaps the rate of oxidation creates different optical properties.

    Favorite BBQ Sauce?

    Just finished up on the grill with some bbq chicken. Tonight I used a marinate based around one of my favorite bbq sauces, Famous Dave's Rich and Sassy, with some extra sauce on the side. For me, this one hits all the right notes on the grill. I used to be a Sweet Baby Day's devotee but found...

    Sutliff Bulk

    Sutliff English Oriental 400341 is great but a bit harder to find. Not on SP or P&C. I also like Count Pulaski but not on SP either.

    Favorite Tobacco?

    One of my favorite parts of pipe smoking is the variety, so I don't really have a favorite. Same goes for drink, music, and food. My favorite is whatever strikes me at the time. Sorry if that isn't helpful. I would suggest getting some samples and trying to find what you want to stock up on...

    When Nothing Tastes Good - Open a McClelland Tin

    I just missed the boat on McClelland. Starting getting back into pipes right before they closed. So sadly other than a tin of Labrador and a 10 year old jar of Frogmorton, I have no McClelland tins to open. Seems like they did it right though!
