    Mules for Coon Hunting

    Speak of the devil just got a youtube update and it looks like the western (basically west of Michigan) raccoon and beaver seem to have demand again. Furrier said that the Chinese market is buying all of his beaver right now. Muskrat and otter are good but coyote is basically worthless. He'll...

    Mules for Coon Hunting

    Ah the good old days when fur was worth something! Had a furrier who had a shop nearby that would give me $10 for fresh roadkill raccoon that weren't hit by your tires. Got pretty good of lining them up and killing them with the old Ford's oil pan. That truck was built like a tank. Hit a 6...

    Maximum cellaring time.

    In general the most change happens in the first year or two and becomes more gradual with additional time. Latakia can fade a lot in 10 years from my experience.

    Maximum cellaring time.

    Improvement isn't guaranteed with the passage of time. Virginias may sweeten and perique can get more of a dark fruit flavor and lose some peppery tones. Latakia tends to soften with age. Burleys tend to very slowly change. But these are just generalities, each blend will change differently...

    Does Pipe Smoking Reduce Stress and/or Blood Pressure?

    Pipe smoking is like bacon; neither is good for you but what is life without them.

    Is It Hotter Where You Live Now?

    My grandfather and father kept track of when we could start ice fishing at our local spot. Over 50 years of data and the average date has moved 3 weeks later in the year. As a kid there were times we could ice fish before Thanksgiving but that hasn't happened in over 15 years. We still get...

    Flake Tobacco (PS Navy Flake)

    PS LNF really benefits from aging, even 6 months makes a difference. I like to cube cut my flakes and just gravity fill my pipe with a little flake "dust" on top to aid lighting.
