    Smoking Entire Bowl

    I had a friend years ago who smoked Marlboros. He took his snubbed cigarette butts from the ashtray, emptied the disgusting tobacco from them, and rolled it in a Zig Zag. Im not that guy. If it stops lighting or tasting good, its dumped.

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    This is why the founders of the USA were really on to something. If im not hurting you, or violating your rights....LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!! :) Unfortunately, many Americans dont like that. They prefer having power, and making money fighting against what made America different.

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    Agreed. The founding fathers used "god given rights", but its the same as natural rights, or unalienable...or inalienable rights.....which all mean the same thing. These are things that ALL people are born with. Not just Americans, but all people. Civil rights were given to us by other humans in...

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    Human rights need to be separated from natural rights, or "god given" rights. In the founding documents of the US, we were not GIVEN rights, our rights, that we ALREADY had, were guaranteed. The founding fathers put many of those in the constitution, but some were left out because they believed...

    "GET YOUR HAND OFF MY PENIS!!" Such is Democracy Manifest.

    Proposed UK tobacco ban

    Anything that doesn't hurt another is a human right. Not just in the US, but everywhere. Until the many show the few that they have no power, we will all be serfs. The thousands in power only have that power until the millions take that power away. If law enforcement stops enforcing, those in...

    Tobacco Recommendations?

    Thats why I said, "in my opinion". ;) This is the only place I ever hear about it. It has been catching on the last couple years, but stayed on the fringe for years before. On a video somewhere Jeremy Reeves says he has no idea why Pegasus finally hit its stride the last year or two. He said its...

    Tobacco Recommendations?

    I'll second the C&D Pegasus. Maybe the most underrated blend in history.....in my opinion. :)

    Squirrel Season

    That depends on if you like the taste or not. Its pretty easy to get half a dozen squirrels in a few hours. That's a hearty meal for 2-3 people. They taste fine. Im not a huge fan, but they are a good source of nutrition. This is where the "entertainment" comes in. Hunting is fun...period. Its...

    Squirrel Season

    The wildlife on our property and our dogs have an odd relationship. I didn't consciously teach them this, but everything is allowed in the yard except bears and raccoons....and yotes, more on that later. At night the raccoons better run or they're gonna have a rough time. The bears know the dogs...

    Squirrel Season

    Two things can be true at the same time. I am a veterinarian as a profession, but also a hunter. But, we also have "yard deer", and "yard squirrels" who are not hunted. Its an odd thing to walk out on opening morning of big game season and try not to spook the 8 point buck and his gals from the...

    Squirrel Season

    I have never personally been a trophy hunter, but have friends who are. They are good enough people who do what they do for their own reasons. Ive been on many elk hunts, moose hunts, goat hunts, Mule deer hunts, antelope hunts......but all for meat, and ENTERTAINMENT!! Ive never kept a head...

    Squirrel Season

    Each to their own. But humans were designed to eat meat, as well as other things. Compared to the way the meat in your local grocery store is procured, hunting is very humane, and far less barbaric. This is why my family decided years ago to grow 100% of our own meat and vegetables. But I dont...

    Squirrel Season

    Back in the early 1900s when white tail deer were nearly extinct, squirrel hunting became extremely popular. In many areas it remains the #1 small game hunted. They are plentiful, they are relatively easy to get, and they are loaded with nutrients that store bought meat hasn't contained in many...

    Squirrel Season

    Depends on where you live. Around here all the middle and high schools have opening day of regular season off as a "holiday". Before the day off thing, the halls of schools were empty. :) Hunter saftey courses are always full, and more courses need to be added every year.

    New vs Cellared Tobacco

    I could just copy and paste what @sablebrush52 said, but I'll add a bit. Most of my cellar is from 2001-2017, with a bit of 2019 spattered in there. This Spring I added about 100 tins and maybe 5 pounds of bulk after coming back to piping after a 7 year hiatus. MOST of what im smoking is well...

    My Birthday Treat Finally Arrived

    Great set of pipes!! The smoking pipes, I have never heard you sing. :( That Stanwell is going to patina nicely.

    Taking out the trash..

    Im a dumper...sometimes. Im pretty sure its a 50/50 thing in the pipe community. Its really a "try and see" thing. Try dumping, if it works for you, then dump. I only smoker outside so its not a big deal. I do not scrape, tap or dig, I just flip the pipe over. Whatever falls out is what falls...

    CAO Eileen’s Dream - what am I missing?

    I tried Eileens Dream, Moontrance, and one other......I dont care for any of them. I like aromatics and these sounded like they would be great. I dont know exactly how to explain it, but they were all perfumy, or maybe floral. They all left a bad taste in my mouth, both literally and...

    No Wonder the Aliens are Content to Watch Instead of Invade

    But again, they aren't murdering disabled people to grind their bones into medicine. Kinda not the same thing. My wifes friend owns a hippie crystal/incense shop. Her and her customers are the calmest and least dangerous people around.
