    Smoking a Flake of Hh BF and a flake of Rattray’s Stirling flake in a cavicchi rusticated canadian … a generous chamber indeed… which I like for burleys and burley flakes in particular 👍

    Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza

    This is a good point... Another is the loss of manual driving skills. I prefer a manual transmission and ordered my Tacoma as such. When I took ownership, the dealer said to me, you have a truck that's millennial-theft proof. There are exceptions but it does seem that most of my children's...

    Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza

    Misplaced?! Haha, it is about all I can do… You must understand that I used to be a high school maths teacher when i worked — and the general decline in student numeracy and reading abilities was very evident to me. I recall a moment about 10 years ago when i wrote instructions for my class on...

    Has Your Palate for Tobacco Changed Over Time?

    Even after a three decades I do still dabble in various tobacco genres in small ways. That said, I do prefer burleys and VAburs for the most part. It is OK to know what you prefer and that to have developed your preferences is OK :) I used to wish I was like @JimInks and loved all tobacco...

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

    Still morning here in the Purcells. Five brothers in my 1956 250 billiard root briar … what a gorgeous morning! This old estate I just picked up has a mild ghost… one of my favorite ways to exorcise such hauntings is with a few bowls of good straight burley.
