How Slow is Slow?
Well, I've never actually had the urge to time how long it takes to smoke a bowl. Slow is whatever it takes to comfortably enjoy a good smoke and be able to eek all the subtle nuances out of the smoldering tobacco. Personally, much faster than that and I miss the subtleties and usually...- badbriar

I Finally Get Burleys!
Title edited for caps and brevity. Please read rule 9! While I've tried a few various Burley blends and find most to be nice, they haven't really wowed me enough to replace a nice Lat blend for the most part. Until now. I'm thoroughly enjoying a bowl of Pegasus and trying different paces...- badbriar

Fishing
I fish often at the North Venice Jetties, usually for snook, but every once in a while, a surprise turns up. Back when she was 8 or 9, my daughter hooked a nice one - turned out to be a small shark. Next cast was the same. For the next 20 years, she's still a true fishing enthusiast...- badbriar

If tobacco is stored in a glass container - take foil and make a shallow bowl - about 2-2.5" diameter. Take a quarter of a paper towel and fold until it is about 3/4 - 1" square and soak with water. squeeze most of the water out until it does not drip. Put damp paper into the foil bowl and...- badbriar

Any Thoughts on Getting Pipe Back From Lewis Pipe in MN?
Avoid having to go through probate (depending upon the state) by adding your preferred devisee's name on all accounts and real property. This way, assets pass by simple operation of law - no probate required. Or, in a few states, you can add a Ladybird Trust to your will to pass real property...- badbriar

Memorial Day Remembrance
“…this is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veteran’s Day, it’s not a celebration, it’s a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom.” (a quote from the 449th Bomb Group, 71 6, 717, 718, 719 Squadrons, 15th Air Force. WWII B-24 Heavy...- badbriar

Burley Tasting Notes
I'm moving into Burley territory as of late and am finding some really good blends with amazing flavors. To my palate, Burleys seem to be somewhat nutty, like walnuts and occasionally have a very slight hint of something sweet like molasses - ? I also detect something akin to breadiness or...- badbriar

What "The Wife" Thinks
Much easier to ask / expect forgiveness than request permission! This saves unwanted animated discussions! I thought about doing what Hoosier did for his honey-pie, but I'm afraid she might get a holster for it and name the damn thing!! :oops:- badbriar

Zippo Fuel Lighter - Taste?
I am one of those that simply does not have the acute sense of taste that some others do. I have a friend that also enjoys cigars & pipes and has an amazingly keen sense of taste & smell. He is able to detect even the slightest nuance. I myself need to have something that darn near slaps me...- badbriar

I was not sure which category this should be under, so I took a shot since in includes smoking a good English blend. I am one who enjoys spicy foods, including southwest and well smoked offerings.

Rehydrating OLD Cigars
What @johnnyflake said. The oils have long since been depleted if the cigars were not kept properly hydrated. They can be re-humidified, but will not taste very good.- badbriar

Boswell Premium & Old School
Upon opening a sample package kindly sent to me by jb, I jumped at the chance to try a new to me Burley. Started with Boswell's Premium Burley. The tobacco looks to be a shag cut and packs & takes a light quite easily. With a quick false light, soft tamp and light, the tobacco gave off volumes...- badbriar

OOOH-NOOO! Another Mail Call!
I received this most kind sample box from a most outstanding BOTL, jbrewer2002. It started when I inquired about thoughts on Redburn. I am on the hunt to explore Burleys after purchasing an American blend with a generous portion of burley that I found to be very good. Jb blew up my mailbox...- badbriar
