    Anyone Into Tabletop/Card RPGs or Board Games?

    I used to love to play the old board wargames, like from Avalon Hill. Nowadays, I don't have the table-space, and I have a couple furry roommates that would destroy the board (which can involve dozens of little cardboard chits).

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    Black Frigate again -- but I can quit smoking it whenever I want ;). Oh look, I have it preloaded in another pipe. I must have forgotten that. May as well smoke it too.

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    Well it's heavily pressed and has rum casing, so that changes it quite a bit I think. I recommend giving it a try, but it's a bit expensive.

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    Pipestud managed to get rid of my older ones, but I'm still stuck with several never-to-smoked tins of it. That said, is there currently any blend that's not a retread, that I, a disgruntled pipe smoker to be, might ridicule future generations for liking? I'm thinking not, but wanted to ask ;)

    Anyone Into Tabletop/Card RPGs or Board Games?

    It's a great gambling game what with the doubling cube. I remember reading a book back in the late 70's or so called "Backgammon for Blood". After that, it seemed impossible to lose, or at least know in advance you're going to lose over luck. My friends stopped playing for money against me...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    I like turn-based games (RPG, strategy usually). Currently playing a lot of Civilization VI on my macbook.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    I ended up marrying the New Age/Hippie girl in that game both times I played it lol

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    That brings back memories. Now you can buy the entire 2600 library completely contained in an old 2600 controller mockup. My first PC was a 286 as well. I remember having to edit autoexec.bat and config.sys for every game, lol

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    The Switch is the only gaming device I've owned since the old Atari days, lol. I like it because it has a lot of smaller indy developer games ported to it.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    Black Frigate in a Chacom Army. I don't know what it is with this stuff, but I've never had such a constant craving for a blend. I'm fairly new to it, thinking I wouldn't like it or it was a lat-bomb or something (it's not).

    Good Va-Per Tobacco

    I don't consider OJK a Va/Per, but only because it's heavier on the burley than the Virginia. I actually dislike Va/Pers in general, but I smoke a lot of OJK. It does meet the spicy criteria though. Edit: Okay I just remembered that there is one Va/Per I like very much: Dan Tobacco Salty...

    Effects and Properties of Pipe Bowl Shape

    My only criteria is the cut of the tobacco itself. Some that are a very long or rough cut I use a larger bowl just to keep from having to jam it in too much in a narrower bowl.

    Ever Take A 25 Tin Flyer On Something You Have Never Smoked?

    Indeed I do. I have an 8-ouncer of that I tap into occasionally.

    Top Five RYO Tobaccos

    That's right I remember now (smoked one tin a while back). I guess I always think shag when thinking of RYO.
