    Any Archaeology Fans?

    Points were also made for different reasons. Small slicey points for small game like rabbits and birds. Larger, fatter points for penetration on bigger game like deer.....or people. :( Some tribes even made blunt points to kill without damaging the skins. They just knocked the animal silly....or...

    Any Archaeology Fans?

    From what I read, the natives just made a LOT of them. Many were one time use, and many were not up to snuff, so they were discarded after knapping. As far as the Iroquois, there were a LOT of mouths to feed and they hunted a lot. Many points were damaged upon hitting a deer bone and were...

    Contemplative Silliness?

    I started my premium tobacco lifestyle with cigars. I was already smoking pipes occasionally sinse 1987, but really liked the THOUGHT of pipe smoking more than the "art" of pipe smoking. Then I got REALLY into cigars. Almost embarrassingly so. Once I found pipes, the cigars were put on the back...

    How Do You Pick Your Next Smoke?

    No rhyme or reason here. I have about 15 blends open right now. I just pick the one I have a hankering for. (First time ive ever used the word hankering). Then pick appropriate pipe. I have no "time of day", or seasonal favorites. Light Virginia in a snowstorm, a Latakia blend in 95 degree...

    New vs Cellared Tobacco

    About 90% of my cellar is bulk blends put into Ball brand jars with the 2 piece lids.....thats very important in my opinion. The one piece lids and bail top jars are not good for long term storage. Ive got 24 year old jars of tobacco which are still in perfect shape.

    Why Are There (Almost) No Pre WW2 Vauen Estate Briar Pipes And German Estates Pipes in General Available?

    I have no idea, but now you gave me another rabbit hole to go down. I know Germans did smoke, and Vauen was created in the 1880s. I know they were famous for their porcelain pipes. And I know the Nazis were very anti tobacco. Perhaps people destroyed their pipes during this time due to strict...

    Rim Adornment On Ser Jacopo Leonardo

    Plateau rims are a big issue with me. These just make we cringe for the same reason. Although the SJ are beautiful pipes, and I love the idea, keeping the holes clean and free of debris would bug my OCD. :)

    Any Archaeology Fans?

    Ive always been interested in history. But about 24 years ago while checking our soil right after turning it, I found an arrow head. Then I found another one, then another.... That day I found 11 arrow heads in about 20 minutes. I immediately called an old professor of mine. He laughed and told...

    Any Archaeology Fans?

    Humans have always desired power. When the first humans evolved, Neanderthals were there to kill them. Luckily "modern" humans were smarter. There have been many civilizations that didn't CAUSE war. But inevitably another group comes along who want what they have. When there are two cultures...

    C & D Engine #382: The Deertongue Rides Again

    Over the years ive smoked several blends with Deer Tongue. Often the flavor of the DT was slight, or non existent. This Spring I added a tin of C&D Gentleman Caller to an order. Holy mackerel!! The DT is very prominent and smacks you in the face.....and I hated it. :) Its been jarred sinse mid...

    Available one more time, Oct 3 2025

    I missed out again. :( Oh well. I spend very little time near my phone. However long im on this site is 99% of my phone use. The other 1% is email looking at tracking numbers for packages. If I dont see an ad for the drop, I miss it. :)

    How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?

    Im not even completely sure where it all is. I remember bringing a couple totes to my dads house while we did some remodeling a few years ago. Jars are in one corner, tins in another....more tins somewhere else. Ive bought quite a few tins in the last 6 months. They are all in a big tote that I...

    Women Enjoy Pipes, Too

    I also like chewing tobacco, but its too expensive....even on the reservation. I do occasionally get a bag of Stokers chew, but its a huge bag that's tough to get through. :) I really got into dip while in the Army. Much easier to use on patrols and such.

    Women Enjoy Pipes, Too

    My wife encourages my pipe smoking just as enthusiastically as she discourages my use of dip. My options were clear. Either quit dipping, or figure something else out. I chose to very enthusiastically take care of my mouth. It turns out that the dipping has been a good thing. Im 54 years old...

    Women Enjoy Pipes, Too

    Ive known many pipe smoking ladies. Most just dont want to hang out online with us idiots. My great aunt Floy smoked a pipe, and cigars. She almost never cleaned her pipe. When it got to nasty, she bought another cheapo drug store briar. And she always smoked drug store blends...CH, H&H, PA...

    Does latakia need age to be usefull

    I dont know the answer, but..... Im currently smoking a bowl of MacBaren H&H Balkan from 2018. It has that harsh throat feel...in a good way. Its hasn't seemed to have lost much of its punch. But, I've been smoking through a jar of C&D SOTE(the best Latakia blend ever), from 2024. Its smooth as...

    Well Im Fat Pt 3 - The New Diet

    Fruit has the same types of sugar...fructose, sucrose, and glucose, but processed sugar is removed from its natural cane or beets, stripped of all its fiber and nutrients, then concentrated. This makes refined(processed) sugar higher in the damaging effects of sugar, and much lower in the...
