10+ Years in the Jar?
I don't plan on opening the escudo any time soon. It isn't my go-to blend, and there is an open tin around in case I get the urge for it. It may sit for quite some time. I need to do the same with a tin of Balkan Saseini, which is a go-to blend for me. I had the opportunity to smoke about 3...- portascat

10+ Years in the Jar?
I have a tin of Escudo going on 2 years already, never opened. Not sure what I am going to do with it. It is like some BFG weapon in a video game I don't want to use. I will probably die with it unopened, seeing as how I have a tin of it open, anyhow.- portascat

Why is it so Hard to Find a Sub $100 Pipe That is Drilled Correctly?
And they get their share of returns, too. I know, as I sell them. Seen IWI "Desert Eagles" that stovepipe every other round, Gen 4 Glocks that refuse to slide into full battery without a little assistance, Kahr CW's that nobody wants once they actually get to hold them and feel them....- portascat

Why is it so Hard to Find a Sub $100 Pipe That is Drilled Correctly?
As are mine. I have a couple pipes that cost me more, but only a few. In fact, if my memory serves me well, the most expensive pipe in the house is a church warden my wife smokes that I bought new for her for ~$120. I smoke a lot of estate, I smoke a lot of mid range (Bjarne, Aldo, etc.). I have...- portascat

Show Us Your Cats!
Joe Hearn, the reality is that cats, and dogs, are going to mess up and break things in your house.Cats always, and the larger the dog, the bigger the potential messes. Proper training (which is far beyond the scope of this posting) of dogs, and patience and catproofing houses, will minimize...- portascat

Show Us Your Dogs!
Showing dog (or cat) pictures can be quite a challenge for space. Here is one of my dogs. American Pit Bull Terrier bitch named Kat. Rescue dog, about 6 months old and 50 lb. in this picture (from this Christmas) She loves me, cats, and kids. She is mischievous as hell, as well. Here she is at...- portascat

Keep banging away at it. It will all come together one day and it will be wonderful. Then you will have to wait another week for it to happen again....- portascat

Need a New Stem - Who's good?
Walker did a full stem replacement on a GBD Congress for me, including floating the logo onto the new stem. I was completely satisfied. You can probably find the before and afters if you look through my old posts.- portascat

Houston sports bar for watching NFL?
Welcome to Houston, when you come. I am no where close to your location, but we will be breathing the same air. You should make an early Saturday run to the Briar Shoppe, if you can. In central Houston, and relatively easy to find.- portascat

Middle Earth Pipeweed by Just for Him
I have just about stopped smoking all aromatics. To me, Ruins and Shortcut (the only two I have tried and enjoyed) are English/Aro hybrids (like many have already noted). I really enjoy the English and Balkans, now. So, ROI and STM are like "desert tobaccos" anymore.- portascat
