States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)
What a slippery slope. People gripe about the government until they need something from it... police to protect you, the courts to settle disputes, etc. People gripe about taxes, until they want to benefit from it... money to pay for roads, medicare, etc. Unfortunately, unless you are living...- skraps

Best "Royal Yacht" Experience
Yep, I have always said it's a VA that smokes like a Burley. Love the stuff.- skraps

States Attempting To Tax Internet Sales (Including Tobacco)
It never goes where they say it will. Just look at the Lottery. It's one of the biggest swindles out there, and people drop their money like it's nothing and use the justification that "It's going to Education". That's funny.- skraps

Sad that you think that. "Gentleman" expectations should never be forfeited. At least, that's what I was taught.- skraps

LMAO, you might not be far from the truth there... but as the old cliche goes... "Don't judge a book by it's cover"- skraps

That's some scary shite for sure. Explains the "Feel the Bern" movement. Terrifying.- skraps

On Hipsters
And there in lies the problem. To comment on someones "foibles" (great word by the way) requires us to make a judgement of an individual, and not always an accurate one. My observation after reading this thread... I have seen a more clear definition of the word stereotype than I have of the...- skraps

It was not a blanket statement at all, it was a direct statement on how "HE" feels about the impact that another individual will or will not have on his life. (Sorry for seeming to speak for you, Mike, just interpreting here. Correct me if I'm wrong) The fact is, the "garbeldy goop" that Mike...- skraps

Do You Throw Away Old Socks?
I have the upper half of the sock sown directly onto my shoes... you know, kinda like a mock turtleneck. Cuts down on the required amount of socks, and one less thing to put on in the morning.- skraps

How To Tell If You Own Enough "Royal Yacht"
It is nice to see an overabundance of Royal Yacht threads, instead of Penzance. The Yacht is by far the superior tobacco between the two, IMO. Yacht gets the same treatment as Wessex Burley Slices when I order. There is always a tin or two in every order to add to the stock.- skraps

Which Dark Strong?
For me it was about the topping. Heinricks leans more toward the Anise flavor where Orlik was more Molasses brown sugar. YMMV.- skraps

Baking tins:
A buddy of mine from my pipe club baked OGS. 6 hrs, 200° wrapped in tinfoil just in case the lid blew. Noticeably darker in color and he said that it really took the bright edges off the flavor.- skraps

What Pipes To Take To A Pipe Show
The deals can be great. You are in most cases interacting face to face with the actual pipe maker or owner of the particular store or shop. You can haggle, you can trade, you can work the deal. The "pre-show" that happens in the smoking tent is often a great place to find a deal, but you have to... -
I Am a YouTube Pipe Presenter
For the same reason we read most of what is written on the forums... it can be amusing and life isn't just about being uptight and serious all the time.- skraps
