    If You Had to Choose Only One Tobacco

    We already assigned you Edward G Robinson's Blend so you don't have to torture yourself with the decision. :p

    Question About Flake Storage

    I agree that for flake, five months in a ziplock is fine. OP says that he's only smoking a few bowls per week, and has a pound. That means he's going to be storing in ziplocks for a lot longer than five months I would think. I would jar at least half of it, but maybe ziplocks are okay for...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Ennerdale Flake in of my larger Old German clays. It's been a long time since I've had some -- just got in a half pound.

    Question About Flake Storage

    A pound? I would jar it (at least most of it) regardless. If you really only smoke it a few times per week, a pound is going to last you far longer than 4-5 months.

    Greetings from Romania

    Yes, being latin based, the language isn't slavic. That was poorly worded, meant to mean that Romanian is the only Latin based language in the slavic/eastern european region.

    Just the Right Place

    Your "right place" is essentially the same as mine: Sitting on the back porch with my dog smoking a cob and watching the rain. Once a year my dog goes on his beach vacation (off-season, so dogs are allowed on the beach), so I would add "sitting on the beach with my dog smoking a pipe and...

    Self Haircut

    I've been shaving my head every other day in the shower with regular face razors for so many years now I can't remember :p Of course that's much easier than giving oneself a proper haircut, but shaving my head _is_ my haircut, lol.

    Greetings from Romania

    This comment reminds me that Romanian is the only Latin-based Slavic language in the world (I believe). Also, it's a bit mutually intelligible with Italian. Sorry, language geek here.

    FDA Denies 55,000 "Vape" Products by Denying Marketing Applications

    Personally, I found vapes to be very helpful in quitting the cigs. I only vaped the plain "tobacco" flavored ones. Cigarettes have a lot more engineered into them than just nicotine to addict you (including chemicals to allow nicotine to break the 'blood-brain' barrier). Once I was off the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    I love those Old Germans with the larger bowl and arcrylic bit. I have a couple of that model with the shorter bit.

    Any Advice? Killer Tongue Bite

    I haven't read through this entire thread (which has good advice), but in my experience, in the end, tongue bite simply went away with time. Just like shin splints to a new runner. Don't push it, but don't worry about it either. You're adapting to something your body (in this case, your...

    Haunted Bookshop???

    Very true -- Semois, Five Brothers (to use 'straight' burleys as an example)...night and day difference if not sipped. Also both are drier than HB, which can make the difference even more pronounced if not smoked very patiently.

    Haunted Bookshop???

    It comes fairly dry -- I wouldn't say 'dust dry' though.
