    Smoking Jacket, Anyone?

    I see what they're doing there. You pretty much have to buy the 2nd smoking jacket to hit the free shipping threshold. And you must get free shipping no matter what...right? 😐

    How Old is Pipe Smoking?

    Guy on the left: "Dude, you're doing it wrong, you're gonna get tongue bite, and you're still recovering from that hot pepper-eating contest we had last full moon." Guy on the right: "Dude, it's Lane BLWB, it doesn't bite at all, no matter how hard you puff it. Besides, that whole breath method...

    CAO Eileen’s Dream - what am I missing?

    Yeah he's big on that one, Maltese Falcon, and EMP if I recall correctly. Also liked Drew Estate Central Park Stroll, which really piqued my curiosity in them, although that was right around the time they folded. But I did find two cellar favorites in Grand Central and Gatsby Luxury Flake, so...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***

    Shana tova! Celebrated with a well dried bowl (about three hours or so) of Lane BCA in my aromatic pipe, a Savinelli Miele 641 KS smooth bent apple. This jar is from about 2022 or so; I was hoping the topping would be mellowing out a bit by now. Suffice to say, my hopes were dashed as soon as I...

    What are you waiting for?!

    That's a pretty sweet score. Used to have some pretty hefty premiums back when it was still in the 20s per oz. Funny, I've managed to get one of each just in regular change while out and about! I knew immediately, because they sound different when they make contact with other coins. Said thank...

    Artificial Intelligence isn't Just About Doomsday Scenarios.

    For those who perplexedly remain unconvinced of AI's malintention toward humanity, the fact that it recommends Molto Dolce for anything but as a fire retardant should put that argument to rest. Eternally.

    What are you waiting for?!

    That's the easy part. The tough part is figuring out how to extract this silver band from my Peterson and replace it with a Bitcoin band.

    CAO Eileen’s Dream - what am I missing?

    It's one of only three blends I've ever had that induced a verbal complaint from wifey. Not only that, but it left a very unpleasant aftertaste and smell that lingered far too long. Ended up giving away the rest of that tin and another sealed one. There are so many tobacco blends nowadays...

    I believe this very such thing is prohibited by that court order we sent you. Aussie customs probably trashed it. We shouldn't have embedded the paperwork in that block of Pirate Kake. We'll get it right next time! ;)

    Probably both. Disliking everyone on here can be quite the time consuming experience, and I would know! I thoroughly despise every single forum member equally, including myself. If he's anything like me, he's turning a menacing shade of red from pure, seething hatred.

    What are you waiting for?!

    I know better than to make timing predictions for prices! All I'll say is that I think it'll hit some resistance at 48 (the 2011 high), again at 50 just because it's a round number, and lastly at 52.50 (the all-time high). There's no telling how long it'll take to get through each of these, but...

    What are you waiting for?!

    I know better than to wait for the world to be any degree of sane. I'm waiting for: 1) Housing bubble pop, 2.0. Then all my crappy inconsiderate neighbors will be underwater and can get foreclosed on already. 2) Precious metal prices going parabolic. They've made new highs recently, but we're...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***

    A fortuitously timed late-game acquisition of a useless Z tile allowed me to escape with a 7 point Scrabble victory vs. wifey. Celebrated with a bowl of Mac Baren Virginia Flake in my straight VA pipe, a Peterson Irish Harp 80s sandblasted bent bulldog, paired with a Capt. Picard (hot Earl Grey...

    Post your Lunting Accidents.

    @dickcheney Oh, lunting accidents, sorry! Misread that. Carry on. One need not be a Madame Blavatsky to know this, but this is going to be a very sad thread.

    My 1,000th Post: Thank You All

    Congrats. FYI the first thousand are pretty easy. The second thousand is arduous. The third thousand will leave you expecting a scolding from your significant other at least twice a week. The fourth thousand will leave you in cold sweats with hair growing on the palms of your hand. By the fifth...

    Well It Is Getting To Be That Time Of Year

    No actually, I just happened to take the cape off briefly at that exact moment. Really just to give my Jethro Tull codpiece a bit of the limelight, however brief. puffy
