New Artwork For Bar, Wife Does Not Approve
Whiskey will eat through the corks if you leave it tilted like that for long enough. Its higher alcohol content means you can't store it the same as a wine bottle.- skydog

Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020
Got mine in today and already smoked a few bowls. It's definitely good stuff, glad I stocked up. I really like the stoved virginia's. No bite at all in any of my bowls and smoked very dry for me.- skydog

Pocket Knives
I carry a small buck 501 or 503 and leave the big 110 at home to cut plugs. I never got into expensive knives because half the time a pocket knife doesn't need to hold a super sharp edge to be useful and I've never had a problem sharpening buck knives in my years of carrying them. You can't go...- skydog

Jim’s GLP Cumberland and Samarra 20th Anniversary Reviews.
Always appreciate your reviews, Jim. I'm not much for Dark Fired Kentucky or Latakia blends so I think I'll pass on these but it's nice to know from an objective source what I'm missing out on!- skydog

@jiminks you're in Greensboro, right? Aren't you in Greensboro? I applaud your night-owl skills. I thought I avoided sleep like the plague but you're obviously on equal footing.- skydog

Simply VOriental
I rarely get the Va/Oriental itch so I skipped out on this one. Trying to save up to pick up a few of the Cringle Flakes when the drop happens later this month. I usually prefer straight VA or VA/per blends. Been seriously cutting back on my tobacco buying but it's still a practice in...- skydog

Army Mount
I've got almost a dozen Peterson army mounts as well as a spigot and a few standard system pipes. Most of them have been estates that I got for pretty decent prices but a couple of the army mounts I bought new. Obviously I'm a big fan, they all get smoked often.- skydog

How Much Tobacco You Buy on Each Order
Usually just enough to get free shipping but there have been some larger orders. Usually only because of SG drops I wanted to stock up on or some other drop of tins I wanted to cellar. It is nice though being able to stock up on 5 pounds of the cheaper bulks I like all at once for relatively...- skydog

P&C Issue Question
Yeah I've had orders stuck in backorder at P&C that they were unable to find to cancel when I called. Took multiple calls to get it cancelled. Also tried to buy Bayou Morning Flake 8oz tins from them multiple time when it was in stock last year and kept getting emails that it was out of stock...- skydog

Comparing 40th Anniversary to Carolina Red Flake
Sadly in my mind the 515 RC-1 and the C&D CRF being touted as "McClelland replacements" just proves that there will never be a McClelland replacement. Neither are similar in my mind but neither is anything else on the market now. The 515 definitely has vinegar added in my opinion. I've...- skydog

C&D Carolina Red Flake Question
I think the most helpful information for me was really figuring out the blend types of what I was smoking. I'm no pro myself but knowing how much I've enjoyed Bright Virginia blends vs some of the darker/red Virginia blends helps me figure out if I would like a new blend based on that for...- skydog

Help Me Coin a Term
Well I've had aged tins take a week or two after cracking them to really open up so it may just take a bit of patience to start appreciating the aged tobacco. Then again sometimes you hype up a blend in your head, even more easily done if it's aged. No tobacco could meet expectations if you're...- skydog

C&D Carolina Red Flake Question
Well you mentioned a number of blends but it's not really a ton of information to go on. It's not anything like speakeasy in my opinion. If you like the McClelland 221 series Black Shag then obviously you can enjoy a straight Virginia so I say go for it. The Carolina Red Flake doesn't have any...- skydog
