    No Wonder the Aliens are Content to Watch Instead of Invade

    Well, this is, in my humble opinion, an egregious loophole begging to be exploited to the Nth degree. I think I know what I'm doing for my next birthday! Or even better, as a way to get out of the next family obligation.

    How Do You Pick Your Next Smoke?

    Couple bowls per week here, but it's a spur of the moment choice for me almost always. But when I have samples to go through, I'll usually favor those versus what I have jarred.

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

    Had a friend over this afternoon, and had a delightful chat about precious metals/mining stocks over a bowl of pre-STD Mac Baren Navy Flake in my burley pipe, a Savinelli Porto Cervo (visualize that being said with an Italian accent, as opposed to coming from a honky like myself) 122 rusticated...

    Pipe Tobacco’s Future

    Math and pipe smoking don't mix. Come to think of it, math doesn't mix well with anything. Except maybe large scale embezzlement. Which mixes well with pipe smoking, at least in terms of classiness.

    Pipe Tobacco’s Future

    And, somewhat oddly, 2,758 of them are Sutliff 507-C VA Slices... 🤔

    Pipe Tobacco’s Future

    I suppose that's an option, but a better one would be to pick some favorites and cellar aggressively. Hedges both availability and price concerns in one fell swoop. That's what I did for the past five years or so, most intensely between '22 and '24, and I've never been happier that I did. I've...

    European Union's New Biometric Border System Rolls Out This October

    But that won't stop many of us from trying nonetheless.

    Soy is murder...on my digestion.

    What tobacco next?

    Not rude at all. Different strokes for different folks, that's the mantra on here! I can totally see how that would happen...mine just turned out to be Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Match, and it's a pleasure to smoke. Never had the A&C Peterson version of Escudo, but I know there's much hoopla...

    FS: 1 lb. bags of Sutliff and Mac Baren (03/10/25)

    I think AroEnglish is not available....as in, gone. :(

    What tobacco next?

    I'm one of those guys who has tried a whole bunch of English blends, and they all taste more or less the same to me. So for me, it's a matter of finding the cheapest bulk option, and stocking up. It would appear you have done your own version of this with EMP, a real good one I also enjoyed...

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

    It's good stuff. I'm up to my eyeballs in English blends, so a stock-up is unlikely, but I'm happy to have tried it. Donny, you're out of your element!! Mark it zero! :ROFLMAO: They're our most common accipiter up here, and certainly help in keeping the rodent population in check. They're also...

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

    Wrapped up my ranch chores in time to enjoy an ethereal golden sunset surrounded by billowing dark clouds. There's already that chilly autumnal crispness in the air, more reminiscent of much deeper into the season. No complaints, of course...perfect time to break out the lat. GLP Horizons...

    Would You Rather - Pipe/Tobacco Edition

    Not me. Wifey would find my....errr....room note to be "less than tolerable." :eek: rotf

    What's with all these pipe tobacco brands being discontinued?

    Yes, it sucks immensely. But as @Chasing Embers points out, this is just par for the course in 2025. Mac Baren and Sutliff were two of my favorites, so when I heard the first rumblings, I acted swiftly and to the greatest extent my budget would allow for. Cellar now, mourn later. It could...

    As a Jew who just finished breaking my Yom Kippur fast, it makes perfect sense to just go straight into Christmas.

    How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?

    I live in a very small house, so storage space is at a premium. Everything is basically stored in four cubbyholes of an Ikea bookshelf; one for bulk, one for tins, one with 32 jars (two layers of 16 each), and the fourth is a mish-mosh of jars, tins and samples. About 20 pounds in all. I don't...
