    Let It Snow Took On A New Meaning For This Transplanted Southerner

    Yeah, from St. Simons Island/Brunswick and before moving here, east Cobb. We moved here 2 years ago. This is our first significant snow. We had about 20 inches on the ground our first year but that was from cold temps and multiple snow events.

    Let It Snow Took On A New Meaning For This Transplanted Southerner

    We were absolutely slammed with snow last night until a few hours ago. Between 22-25 inches. I am about to go sit in the garage to watch the boys dig the cars out. HAHAHA....I knew they would be worth the trouble, eventually. This photo was taken early this morning before another 8-10 inches...

    Unburned Tobacco

    This is most likely wrong but halfway through each bowl, I scoop out the top ash until I get to charred tobacco. I then mix it together and retamp, relight...only one relight. At this stage, I do not relight again. When it goes out, I am done. Always a small amount of unburned tobacco at the...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Sometimes, you are taken by surprise and other times, not so much. Last week, I was floored by my SS. I will not mention his name for now (only because I did not ask for permission) but many will recognize one of his gifts to me. First, I had no intention of opening my SS gift until...

    Sasquatch...Do You Believe They Exist? Have You Encountered One?

    Laughing. I do believe I live with a Sasquatch...they are also known as Teen boys. Otherwise, no, not much of a chance one exists after hundreds of years looking by thousands and thousands of people. But the conspiracy folks love to keep Sasquatch, Nessie, Mermaids, secret alien moon camps...

    Recovering from Covid- Smoking?

    With all due respect, what bull!!! QAnon much? Of course, we know what virus it is. We have already mapped its DNA...without which we would have no vaccine or hope of creating one. Where do people come up with this cow pattie bull? Sure, some people are mildly impacted. Others are completely...

    Pocket Knives

    Another question: I have a large folding knife (Schrade, serial numbered) I used for hunting back in the late 70s/early 80s. The spring basically fell apart and now the knife is unusable. I would like to get the spring replaced. Any thoughts on how this might be done?

    Recovering from Covid- Smoking?

    My niece had it.,...well all of my neices have had it..and one, which caught in April still does not have her sense of smell or taste. Doctors said they just don't know if they will come back.

    Pipe Smoking in the Deer Stand...

    A landowner can pretty much do what they want on their own land. We have had deer tags year-round on our land when we farmed. There are a large number of reasons why you are not allowed to hunt from your car, using a spotlight, etc. But for the sake of not starting this debate, google is your...

    Straight Pipe Smokers

    Straight pipes == Sliced white bread. Good for what they are, utility, boring but get the job done. 1/8-1/4 bent sandblasts are the bomb, sexy, and are classic in their refinement. :)

    Pocket Knives

    That customized GEC is a looker. So is the MudBug. The MudBug is hard to find at the moment. Out of stock every where.

    How did you have a bowl if earlier, before this post, you said you passed on it?

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    I have only cracked one of my tins from last year and now one from this year. IT is a great smoke, IMHO. But there are so many here that have a more refined palate than I do regarding Virginia's. This year Cringle Flake is a winner if the tin note is any indication and I trust Jim's...

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    Interesting the color variation. Mine is definitely more wood mahogany than yours. And my flakes seem to be be cut a bit thicker.

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    WIll be firing some up this afternoon, once I sign out of work for the rest of the week. Smells like a combination of McClelland St. James Wood and Dark Star/Blackwoods. The tin note is a bit of the usual dark fruits, vinegar, brown sugar, molasses, . . .

    D&R Blends - Picayune and Rimboche AB

    I will be visiting 2 B&Ms in Boston on Tuesday. Will grab a few of each if they have them. I do not think it likely. If you have found another source by then, I will keep them in my cellar.
