    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Had Elizabethan in a Pete 338, followed by Grainger in a Pete 6 earlier. Miller Lites to wash it down. Hope to have one more before bed time (in 2024 yet). Decisions…

    What Does BBQ Mean To You?

    So ive wanted a .357 mag revolver for probably 15 years now. Decided, dang it Im going to buy one this year…started doing my research and everywhere “BBQ gun” kept coming up. That was the first time I’d ever heard that term. Learning experience there.

    Any Homebrewers Around?

    I do 5gal brew in a bag, all grain and keg. Used to do 6-10 batches a year, but the kids are both young and I only did two in 2024…likely none in 2025. I really enjoy it and am fairly set up, but have taken a break. Ive been kinda off craft beer as a whole lately. And unfortunately a really...

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    Came here to say the same. I do enjoy englishes, but despise this one…it just doesnt work for me. Sadly I also stocked up on a bunch of Sir Walter 7oz tubs, have 6 in total. They all have similiar (new) production dates. The first one i opened was horrid. There is a thread on this...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently audiobooking The Path Between the Seas by David McCullough. It’s regarding the building of the Panama Canal. Im about halfway through. I find it interesting, but has been fairly dry so far with documentation on the French engagement and the politics / finances that got the USA...

    Thriving in the Upcoming Tobacco Apocalypse

    Im 37 and feel the same way. I have around 10#s put away, but its mostly Haunted Bookshop and Pegasus…which I think should have a good shelf life. I worry about stocking up too deeply in the Englishes I like, they aren't going to keep for 10 / 20 years-i think. Ive been AWOL from here for...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Thank you! Of my modest collection HBS in this pipe is probably enjoyed 85% if the time. Highly recommend the natural Savs…

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Been a while. Many reasons, been busy here in Middle Tn. Howdy again…Glad the rain is mostly over. Haunted Bookshop in a Sav 141 Granola.

    Tornado Close-up Footage

    While I hope to never experience this first hand, as someone who grew up in Ohio and lives in middle TN (both very active tornado locations) you just got to accept it can happen. And has been very close a few times in my life. There was some crazy tornado outbreak in 1974? across the entire...

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    Same here. Think I send one in on the report an issue via contact us a day after you…nothing yet. I typically leave my open tubs with the foil cover (removed) but laying on top of the tobacco with the clear plastic cap on. Will see what ends us happening in a few weeks. But man, fresh…it’s...

    Favorite Morning Blend

    Always a light english. Many options, but some favorites: Squadron Leader, Westminster, English Oriental Supreme, Proper English, Standard Mixture…etc…they just taste great with a cup of black coffee.

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    Agreed, please pass along the response. Did a little research here: the last two pouches i had were april of 2022…no off flavors. Now, unfortunately, ive got 6 tubs stashed away all made in march of 2023. The first one has this vinegar flavor. What’s the chances the other will NOT have it...

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    Im nearing the end of a Granger tub, cracked open my first new production SWR last night. Confirming vinegar bomb. I keep my otc’s out in the barn so ambient temps in Tennessee. Will see how it ages after a few months. Granger always improves when some of the “stuff” flashes off, hopefully...

    Why do B&Ms Rebrand Bulk Tobacco?

    In my world, it’s called capturing your aftermarket…they are attempting, at least in part, from keeping you off SP.com. It’s likely a good bit cheaper online.

    Jacknife Plug in a Rossi 8122. Great night to be outside.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Haunted Bookshop. Sav 141ks. Ive pretty much only smoked this pipe for the last week and a half, maybe I got lucky…but it’s a winner.
