    Chasing Oswald - Documentary

    The Stephen King novel 11.22.63 is excellent if you’re up for alternate timeline theories with a bit of time travel thrown in. (And if you’re interested in “what if’s,” then you obviously are in for time travel…)

    Tobacco Press Photo Archive

    These photos and stories are amazing, Woodsroad (et al.)!

    High Nicotine Pipe Tobacco Recommendations

    Another voice here to say as Sig did that I rarely if ever experience a nic-hit from pipe tobacco, and I smoke “strong” blends all the time. At first I felt the woobliness with Royal Yacht, GH Brown Twist, and HH Rustica, but those days are long gone. Daily smoking of strong blends (and regular...

    Pipe Force IV a lucky break due to lack of trade interest

    I managed to snag a full pound of unpressed PFIV from a fella and it is incredibly delicious, agreed. I’m a huge fan of Rustica and it plays so well in the PF series, especially with that stoved Katerini. I have not had PF I or II, so when I saw your trade I was wondering if a few extra tins...

    Boswells

    I'm a fan of Military Force. It's in the Northwoods family, with less sweetness and a fantastic pine note that makes for a great smoke. If you like more sweetness than Northwoods (and much more than MilForce), Countryside is your blend. I hear great things about their aromatics, a fella sent me...

    Mylar Pouch Tobacco Storage

    I've seen recommendations against using mylar bags with clear window for longterm storage, only metallized mylar with no window. Quoting an FAQ on tobacco and mylar found on another forum: "Avoid bags that have a clear side to them, this will defeat the purpose. We want metal on all sides to...

    Show off your Cellar: By Blender Edition

    LOL. Just gently ribbing you. I like the idea for the thread! Right now, I have my cellar in a few rubbermaid bins and cardboard boxes segregated broadly by blender (Peterson, GLP, C&D, MacB, GH/SG). I'll have to snap some pix next weekend when I do the "great move" from bins to the cubby shelf...

    Show off your Cellar: By Blender Edition

    The thread title had me expecting something completely different. Addition vs. edition. I thought you were inviting us to show pics of new blenders that we’ve deemed cellar-worthy.

    For Those Wanting an H&H Classic Burley Kake Replacement...

    Yeah, objection withdrawn! Egg on face. DCC is indeed delicious, I have smoked perhaps six bowls over the last 10 days because it’s so tasty and burns well. So I am in total agreement about that one.

    Gotta love a first-post pot stirrer!

    For Those Wanting an H&H Classic Burley Kake Replacement...

    Cool, thanks for the info, I'll search. [Of course, this thread was stillborn upon posting as a result of Waltham Broken Cake being as dead as H&H Classic Burley Kake...]

    Consumer Alert [gotosale.ru]!

    Man, what a beautiful piece of work! I bought two at that price, can't wait for them to arrive. Thanks for the heads-up! LOL.

    For Those Wanting an H&H Classic Burley Kake Replacement...

    I had my first bowl of Deluxe Crumb Cut last week, and then had my second, third, fourth, and fifth bowls over the next two days. It is amazingly delicious. Glad I got 8oz on a lark "to try." It's gonna be stocked regularly at Chez khiddy. @Peter Turbo, I'd be interested to hear how you use it...

    Biggest cob bowl?

    I love my MM Generals for their large size and cool smoke (I use filters with them) - I have two, one dedicated to straight virginias, the other to flakes of all sorts. I also have a Diplomat and a Country Gent, both with VF forever stems; I smoke the CG at least twice a week, usually aromatic...

    Wall of Shame - Seller's Remorse

    Nothing personal, but you’d have been better off just tossing that android before you bought it. Having spent last evening fiddling around with my elderly mother’s android phone which had become overrun with adware and malware in an attempt to unbollocks it, I have confirmed my educated opinion...

    Golly there isn’t much to choose from, is there? It’s a travesty.

    Tender Box

    The Tinder Box franchise in Mishawaka, IN changed names to “Heff’s Place” a number of years ago, and they still have a few jars of pipe tobacco blends from before the change. I can’t vouch for just how fresh or smokable the tobacco in those jars remains at this point.
