Inhaling?
I catch myself inhaling from time to time now. It happens more with smoother and nicotine light tobaccos. One of the reasons "Light" cigs don't work is the body will automatically adjust for a deeper draw and inhale to get the same amount of tobacco. I have to stay mindful when I smoke and use...- mayfair70

Mason Jar Bomb- A Warning
As Grouchydog recommends, a sturdy towel to open older jars is a good idea, and can protect you from potential glass fragments. You are very lucky it wasn't worse. I've been hearing my little jars popping softly the past few weeks. I keep them near a window, not in direct sunlight, and we've had...- mayfair70

New Chacom Bulldog - with a concern
Yikes. Yeah, a little concern is due here. On the one hand, briar is tough and a pit that shallow shouldn't be a problem. On the other, as Jvnshr pointed out, that darkened area could indicate more pitting beneath. It might be a thermal feature from drilling and be a weak spot. If it were... -

New Chacom Bulldog - with a concern
Nice pipe !! I always take apart my pipes to clean them. They are not failing in any way due to vigorous usage. Don't worry. Smoke it. :puffy: Or send it to me, I have no concerns. :D -
Can anyone identify this pipe?
Looks nice to me. No idea on value, but I would have bought it at that price.- mayfair70

Matches or Lighters?
In a perfect world where I smoked inside my own personal Diogenes club, it would be wooden matches. For practical reasons, I have always used a Bic lighter.- mayfair70

How to drink whiskey.
I wonder if there is a whiskey forum analogue to this site. I can see people like the guy in the video going on about how to drink and then opposing viewpoints like, "I don't throw it on the floor, that's what the drapes are for." I respect peaty single malts. I just can't drink them. Stirs up...- mayfair70

Fun Fact: When the ancient Mayans were too intoxicated to continue drinking, they kept going with an enema. One of several things that will never happen at my house.- mayfair70

How to drink whiskey.
I've seen this before and I don't take that guy seriously. That is alcohol abuse. I never put water or ice in my single malts. I have been known to chill a glass beforehand. I always have clean, refreshing ice water on the side. My woman sips her scotch, but I almost inhale mine. He's a...- mayfair70

Review- McClelland Syrian Super Balkan
You're welcome. I do my best. :-) Thanks Balkisobrains, I'll be sampling those soon I hope. I finally tasted the Virginia in this blend while I was driving my woman to work. I was about halfway through a bowl. What I taste seems really dependent on my cadence. I also noticed the chocolate...- mayfair70

Starting flakes
I cut a flake with scissors across the grain quickly and indiscriminately. Long and short pieces are then unceremoniously 'rubbed' until I like the texture. Sometimes it is very coarse, and sometimes finer, depending on mood, pipe, time and intended activities. I folded and stuffed once. Once. I...- mayfair70
