What's Your Opinion of MM Country Gentleman Tobacco by Russ?
I enjoy "American Patriot". A solid blend, fills in all the necessary corners, and smokes well. The price is right, and I plan on purchasing more. I can only assume that if your tastes run to what the other blends promise, you wouldn't be too disappointed.- portascat

Why Cellar and Age Tobacco?
I buy a lot of bulk and tins, mostly to get me through lean $$$ months. But I have way more than I could reasonably smoke in 4-5 months stored up now, so now I am "aging" by default. But only a few things am I truly aiming to age on purpose. A few Virginia blends, and about 5 tins of Balkan...- portascat

Escud-OH : Initial thoughts on the classic
Got a tin of that, from 2011, set back in the pipe cabinet. Holding on to it until my son leaves the Navy, or decides to make a career out of it, as a celebration. Not a huge Va/Per fan, but they do have an occasional place in my life. And since I don't crave them, or smoke them often, they are...- portascat

Shooting and prescription glasses - info and advice
Thanks for all the input so far. I have to qualify with the AR at 100 meters, so it is important for my job security, as much as any other consideration. With any sort of point or reflexive shooting, such as pistol and shotgun, I have no current issues. I can't recall the last time I ever...- portascat

Shooting and prescription glasses - info and advice
I guess my question is centered around something I heard, of which I cannot recall the details, based upon placement of the lenses on bifocals. I don't even know if I will need bifocals, but that is where I was going with it. In other words, will (as an example), a lens that allows for reading...- portascat

Shooting and prescription glasses - info and advice
Completely non pipe related, but with such a diverse group here, with many shooting sports folks, I thought it might be worth it. At 47 years old, I am finally going to have to get corrective lens glasses. Haven't had the examination yet, but I am undoubtedly losing my short range vision...- portascat

What is your most expensive pipe ,why'd you buy it & do you regret it?
Most of my pipes are sub $100. My woman purchased me a nice Sav, at a B&M, for around the $120 mark here a week or so ago. Got a Pete, 3 GBD's, a Comoys, a Kaywoodie from 1936 (that cost me $15 on Ebay) and none of that bunch cost me much. I actually want to go into a pipe shop one day, and it... -
New Pipe Smokers: You Have My Respect
Some folks know so much about art that they fail to enjoy it. Find a few blends you enjoy. Whatever they might be, similar or dissimilar. The fact that you enjoy them is enough. Try to smoke a tin of one at a time. Or one blend for day, another for evening. But focus a week of smoking on one...- portascat

Kindle -vs- Nook
I work part time in a pawn shop. Have picked up a few of both for around the $10 mark. Root them, flash a cyanogen mod to them, and load the Google pack. They work far better and faster as a pure android platform, and the "catch all" readers you can download free are fully functional across...- portascat

Enjoyed the taste, don't recall analyzing that much on component tastes. But some do, I assume. I am cellaring blends I...- portascat

The new C&D cellar serious series
I bought a pipe, (or something else as I can't recall), and received a tin of Balkan Sobranie. I am not sure if I will ever smoke it. Why? I only have one tin of it, and it doesn't seem to be available anywhere else I look for it. It is supposed to age very well, so it has gone into the cellar...- portascat
