    Terabytes of free music!

    The lady who owned a record shop in Anchorage told me, "You have the most eclectic tastes in mic of any of my customers." My tastes run from classical, opera, big band and country. Not a fan of "noise" though.

    What's For Dinner?

    I'm at the extreme I guess, cold in the center (raw) is my preference for a good steak. And, it has to be flavorful so, on the bone is also a requirement. It's all a matter of personal taste, just like blends for the pipe.

    Terabytes of free music!

    Doesn't change my opinion with regard to royalties for producers, writers and so forth. Nor, does it dissuade me from purchasing only well produced recordings. Nothing beats vinyl. Digital is closing the gap with every new iteration though. So, I won't scrimp on my music purchases. Music is...

    Honest Answers Only: How Long Do You Leave a Tin Open?

    Ten days plus or minus. I open a tin intending to smoke it within a week.

    Terabytes of free music!

    Don't have time to mess with "iffy" downloads with regards to quality and the fact that artists, writers and performers, aren't being reimbursed.

    Having trouble deciphering flavors

    Probably the best response to the OP! I smoke for the overall taste and pay little attention to the components.

    Having trouble deciphering flavors

    You do realize some smokers spend months, even years developing their palate. It's a process, takes time. And, here's a thought, your palate my not be as innately sensitive as others. So, take the time, make the effort and hopefully, after a period of time you'll meet with some success. Then...

    Bulldog vs Rhodesian

    Either is fine... if the proportion is correct to my eye and there is a bend to one degree or another. Tiny bits, nose warmers, and such are not right to my eye or fist.

    Old Pipes vs. New Pipes

    There were good pipes and bad made decades ago. Same with the pipes made today. Good artisans and not so good. It's up to you to determine your biases and choose your purchase with care. So, educate yourself.

    Reamed By UPS…

    Yet another important reason to shun collectivism/socialism. Europeans chose big government and high taxes decades ago. . The US is trying desperately to stave off such a move to the left and leave citizens with a bit of their earnings to spend as they see fit.

    Wall of Shame - Seller's Remorse

    For many of us here, the pipe is simply a tool. Maintain it it as you would your other tools. Get rid of them, into the bin, if they won't perform in a satisfactory manner. I smoke 'em, not revere them. I have zero interest in cleaning, refurbishing pipes. And, even less interest in...

    Why are estate pipes ok?

    And there, most likely is the answer. Worked it out all on your own. Opinions.

    When is the tobacco bowl done?

    When you, the smoker, determines it's done. It's really that simple, no other opinions are required.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Have you done a pork shoulder yet? Hand pulled, vinegar based sauce sandwiches ala North Carolina, It was a family favorite. Vinegar and pork are a marriage made in culinary heaven.

    The Pipe Tobacco Market in Australia

    Collectivism/Socialism is favored by probably a huge number of Americans these days. They see exactly where it is going and encourage such. Thankfully, the majority of them never cast a ballot. Ceding Constitutional Rights to our central government in favor of cradle to grave care, no...

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Yup, a full brisket means a 3 or 4 am starting time. Worth it? Sometimes yes but, the Tri-tip is in its own class in my opinion.

    The Pipe Tobacco Market in Australia

    Keep in mind, no one is forcing us to smoke and burn our moneys up as it were. It's a choice we made. I made it a life-time ago. Some of our younger members chose their wee vice knowing prices were going to soar as society exerted it's "anti-tobacco" position. So, we all have but two...

    The Pipe Tobacco Market in Australia

    Don't forget all the folks who willingly cede their rights to those folks. Much easier to rely on others to tell them what's proper behavior than to keep the right of self-determination. Much, much easier.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Tri-tips! My favorite cut of beef for smoking. I always do one more roast than necessary. Greatest roast beef sandwiches ever! Paired with smoked, baking potatoes it's a royal feast. My potato recipe is floating around in the archives here.
