Pipes, cigarettes, and nicotine
Try some Five Brothers in a cob (it's a dry shag burley). You should be able to easily fit that into a 15 minute break (unless you have to walk too far to do it), and it carries a good nic punch. You should smoke it gently (can get harsh if puffed too hard), but it'll still burn down pretty...- --dante--

Watch City Slices Discontinued
This made me realize I never tried any of their blends. Ordered some Nor'Easter while I wait for their slices replacement.- --dante--

Your Cellar Size
I have a few blends that I cellared a pound or so, but mostly have just a bunch of tins, many of which I haven't even tried yet. All told, I probably have less than 10 lbs. I've found that many tobaccos I like, I don't necessarily like with more than a few years age on them, so I don't stock...- --dante--

Ah, okay. I'll check the lids on things around my house when my press comes in. Thanks!- --dante--

Making Your Own Blends from Your Cellar
Whoa, that sounds good. I just did a quick mix for a bowl with 5 Bros and Two Timer, and it was great (longer burning due to Two Timer, and a stronger nic due to the 5 Bros, and they were great together). I'm waiting on my press, I wonder if 5 Bros and Dark Birdseye pressed together would be...- --dante--

Best Perique for Blending Your own Pressed Cakes?
As the subject says. I've been following the thread on pressing your own cake, and have ordered a noodle press to have some fun with pressing my own blends. In the past, when just mixing some for a bowl, I've used C&D Granulated Perique. For purposes of pressing, I'm thinking I might want...- --dante--

How to Press your Own Cake?
I notice you just used the regular bottom piece to press the tobacco. I take it using the finer holes bottom piece presents no problem to pressing your own cake?- --dante--

A 50/50 mix of Five Brothers and Two Timer in a MM Freehand cob with a bit of Suntory on the side. Thanks @Paul lec ! I think I might even like this better than the individual tobaccos on their own.- --dante--

***What Are You Smoking, July 2022?***
Well now that sounds interesting. I have plenty of Five Brothers, and the other day I noticed I have a forgotten tin of Two Timer in my cellar. Any reason you mixed them? I suppose the Two Timer would make the bowl last longer, and the Five Brothers would give the Two Timer a set of brass...- --dante--

Flounder
You bring up a good point. I can't remember the last time I saw flounder as an option at a seafood restaurant, and I'm not so sure I can even get it at my local market. Maybe it got pushed aside by the farmed tilapia as others suggested. I've never cared for it (tilapia). My default go-to...- --dante--

F-1, Formula-1, Top Dedicated Racing
I feel sorry for Charles, it's like he's just snake-bit this year. Happy to see Carlos finally get that first win, though. I like how the constructor standings are looking now. A lot of good competition to come, both for the leaders and the mid-field.- --dante--

Silverstone is absolutely one of the all time great tracks, IMO. Looking forward to the race, and as a Tifosi, very happy for Carlos!- --dante--

Haunted Bookshop Cake
I got a couple tins in. I find that being in a cake form does what I expect -- melds the flavors somewhat, and smooths the edges. That said, I slightly prefer my ribbon version from my cellar (over 2 years old), but I think that's only because I never smoke it under 2 years old, and the cake...- --dante--

Burley Based Blends
I think you'll like it. It's a great stong burley with a tinge of aromatic to it. I haven't been able to get it for years, but kudos to you if you did.- --dante--
