Where Do You Usually Smoke?
Outdoors. Wife gets migraines and I don't want to expose her or the cat to 2nd hand smoke. Below is a view from my typical spot in a gazebo. There are a few parks that haven't banned smoking yet as well.- Optimistic Pessimist

Light Latakia Blends?
All the above are good suggestions. But, ignore them and get some good ole Haunted Bookshop. You'll be saying,"I can't believe its not latakia" or my name isn't Joe Isuzu.- Optimistic Pessimist

Zippo Butane Pipe Inserts
I also got the Thunderbird pipe insert and it has worked well. Refilling it can sometimes result in cold fingers if I don't properly align the nozzel. Live and learn. Only other thing I'd change is that there is only the one opening on the Thunderbird vs the Zippo original. Here's a review...- Optimistic Pessimist

Show Us your Zippo Lighter
I got this for Christmas with the pipe insert. But, since I'm currently not an allday, everyday smoker I bought a Thunderbird butane insert. It works well. I just wish it had the cutout on both sides like the original zippo insert does.- Optimistic Pessimist

Picked up a Canadian/Lumberjack(?)
LOL, dating is a lot more complicated nowadays. Are they really Canadian if they were born in London, England? Does England even have lumberjack/jills?- Optimistic Pessimist

Return of the Esoterica?
*Heavy sigh* What a let down after viewing online images of the place. They only had 4 pipe tobaccos for sale. Not bad ones mind you, Lane and Stokkebye, but no tins whatsoever. They did say when Esoterica ships that they always get some and that they only sell inhouse when they have it...- Optimistic Pessimist

Decaying Leaves Makes Autumn Best
Seems like this has been a great year for fall colors. Couldn't get this big guy completely in frame. There a lot of old trees in Oakwood Cemetery here in Raleigh. I would love to see upstate NY in the Fall some day.- Optimistic Pessimist

Decaying Leaves Makes Autumn Best
Ha! I hated having to pick up the pine cones in the yard before mowing as a kid. I love walking through Umstead State Park where there is a plethora of trees, we have over 600 species in NC, and that wonderful musky-sweet smell of "fermenting" vegetation. Autumn is by far the best season of...- Optimistic Pessimist
