    Climate Change

    I won't deny that I prefer a change to light Va/Pers and Dutch Cavendish (Amphora/Troost) blends when my part of the globe warms. No hoax there. :puffy:

    Tinder Box Memories

    There was a store in my mall called Hiland's. Very similar to Tinderbox, which was at the "other" mall. I bought my first "good" pipe - a Nording 925 bent rustic from Hiland's. They had the kegs of bulk blends called such names as "Snow Flake" and "Black Gold". And I would always wander into...

    You'll Float Too...

    @ perdurabo: This will be split into two films. Tim Curry left some mighty big clown shoes to fill but it looks like the new guy is up for the challenge. I like the Victorian style Pennywise will be depicted in this new film. Makes him seem much "older" and "ancient". I think that is more...

    Best Lakeland to give a go?

    Grousemoor is nice in the Spring and Summer. Very bright, lemongrass scent. The strands are bright golden with a slight green tint. I tend to let it dry out quite a bit. A fresh tin is pretty intense. YMMV. Bob's Chocolate Flake is also pretty great if you like latakia. :puffy:

    Déjà Vu- Country Doctor

    That's strange. Country Doctor reminded me very much of Revelation. These were the House of Windsor versions from maybe 10 years ago. Nothing like Mixture 79. Are you sure that old tin wasn't stored in a hot tool shed for 50 plus years? :puffy:

    Balkan Sobranie in stock

    BS (Sasieni) is my favorite Balkan. And the price point is excellent. That's no BS. I got a chance to try the Original Sobranie 759 when I found a dry, old foil pouch of it in a glass showcase at a pipe shop that was closing down. This had to be about 20 years ago. It truly was all it was...

    Help...I'm Going To Vegas

    Tobacco Leaf. Two locations, neither one is close to the Strip but they are not bad little shops. More cigar forward but they carry some nice pipes, lighters and Dunhill, McClelland, MacBaren tins and I believe some Newminster bulks. 9400 S. Eastern Ave. and 7175 W. Lake Mead Blvd. Mr. Bill's...

    Lovecraft

    One more. The Rats in the Walls - The Black Mass Radio Program. Featuring the voice talents of Erik Bauersfeld - Admiral Akbar from Star Wars. This story may turn your stomach like a Royal Yacht OD - one of my favorites! http://www.kpfahistory.info/bm/bm_rats.mp3

    Hot Texas Summer

    109F on tap for later today here in Las Vegas, USA. We are on a cooling trend! I'm covered on the back porch. Got a swamp cooler on wheels I can point anywhere I need so smoking outside is pretty comfortable. Lot's of sun tea on ice - no sweetener. GLP Sixpence in the pipe and I'm all set...

    Stinkiest/pungent tobaccos

    1792 Flake. Curled my nose hairs. When I opened the tin I honestly thought the tobacco had gone rotten. It finally aired out enough to un-turd itself and I did finish the tin. Never returned to it afterwards... :puffy:

    Jean Paul Sartre

    Gamers - Smoking while Gaming

    I often smoke my pipe during chess or backgammon sessions. Also works during cards and board games. Does that still count as "gaming" these days? :P Honestly, I play "alot" of video games - mostly turn-based RPG's and dungeon crawls - but I don't smoke while I play. Too much stuff going on...
