    Ok, I Get It (Black Frigate

    I received my first tin of Black Frigate in the mail yesterday. This is the first tin that I have ever opened between the mailbox and the house out of many tins received in the mail. I am sitting on probably 75 different blends that I have not even tried yet. I smoked two bowls yesterday...

    How or Why Did You Start Smoking a Pipe?

    As a kid, my great uncle smoked a pipe and everyone liked the way it smelled. As a teenager, I started dipping Copenhagen. One day my freshman year of college, me and some friends all went down and bought Dr Grabows and a one pound bag of Middleton apple tobacco. I burned the ever loving shit...

    Ruger LCP vs. Smith Bodyguard

    Generally carry a Glock 22 but I do own a LCP that I carry a lot as well. It is lightweight and fits nicely in my front pocket. The LCP is not pretty, does not have a sweet trigger and does not hold a ton of ammo, but IT WILL GET SOMEONE OFF OF YOUR ASS! Which is the primary function of a...

    PAD Perique Aquisition Disorder

    I can speak from experience about the Fire Storm and it is good! Fire Storm has some balls to it, at least in my opinion and is quite tastey as well. I recently ordered the rest of the perique series and it has not arrived yet. Enjoy!

    Xikar Pipe Lighters?

    I purchased a Xikar Resource and regret it as it does not light consistently, it is heavy and bulky and the tamper is not that functional to me...

    What Are You Doing Tonight?

    Smoked a couple bowls of PS LNF, a turkey breast, a tri tip and a rack of St Louis cut ribs. Good stuff! Had to do something more "Texan" for jpmcwjr. Lol

    Visiting New Orleans this Weekend

    The prices at Don Leoncio are literally double any other b&m. I visited last March and was shocked at he prices. The Cigar Factory only has house made cigars and their prices are much better. I really like their Connecticut shade wrapped cigars. Have fun in NOLA!

    Briggs & Stratton Gas Can

    Gents, I deal with this on a daily basis as an engineering technician and it can be quite frustrating at times. Many of the new "fresh outs" think that they know everything and have no experience and are not willing to learn from a dumb ass technician. What they do not know is that I can make...
