    Learning the Ropes

    I tried chewing the Black Cherry Twist once and it didn't do it for me. This thread is encouraging me to give it another go, both chewing and smoking.

    Learning the Ropes

    I have smoked the Black Cherry Twist and the Sweet Whiskey ropes. I would be in the minority that did not find them very strong. That is not to say they are not or that I have a high nicotine tolerance. Even Black Frigate gives me more of a nicotine hit that the above ropes (Royal Yacht too)...

    Anyone Here Smoke?

    I have a propane smoker with both the wood and water trays. Did a full pork shoulder a couple weeks ago to make some home made pulled pork for my sons birthday party. 18 hours of hickory smoke and some damn tasty pulled pork if I do say so myself. Hard to beat good old smoked BBQ. shanez...

    Royal Yacht out of stock... again???

    mso489, sad but true. Those high priced tins will stay that way as long as people keep buying.

    Lightning Bugs

    I recently had a similar experience smoking some Black Frigate. I stopped out to my best friends camper which is on his farm. We were sitting by the fire when I noticed a distant hay field was shimmering. When I walked to the edge of the field there were thousands of lightning bugs flying...

    Oriental-Forward English/Balkan Recommendations

    To my knowledge the Iwan Ries Balkan Supreme is the PS/Arango stuff. A great recommendation also. A great blend for the price in my opinion.

    For the Love of Seconds

    Those are some beauties! I like the lines on the Comoy's. It's a stem marking not seen very often. Very cool.

    Finally Found my Castello

    A beautiful take on the Prince shape. I too find that I am liking shorter wide chambers for English blends. I am interested to know how it smokes for you. Looks like a great pipe!

    Royal Yacht out of stock... again???

    P&C had the Royal Yacht at their normal price of $12.50. Nice to see they weren't gouging anyone on it. They most certainly could have raised their price. Good on them I say.

    Royal Yacht out of stock... again???

    I was browsing pipes and cigars last week. As is normal on the right column of the screen it shows similar blends to the one you are looking at. For some reason, I don't know why, I clicked on the Royal Yacht. Knowing it to be long out of stock I was shocked to see it listed as in stock...

    Oriental-Forward English/Balkan Recommendations

    I find Sutliff English Oriental quite oriental forward in a good way. If you can find it, might be worth a try.

    A/V Component Advice

    Upon closer inspection of you pictures I see your volume control is a SDB-4 EZ, not the SDB4.1 that your link points to. I also see that you posted the correct model in you r initial post. I should have read more carefully. You can find the correct product manual at this link (scroll down to...

    A/V Component Advice

    I think that is probably the best thing to do. See what Russound says. It shouldn't be this complicated. If I was speculating it looks as though there should be a switch of some kind across those contact points. They look laid out for a surface mount switch. It is almost as if they forgot to...
