    Benefit Of Forgetting.

    My tobacco's always crisp now days. Although, I like them right before turning crisp most of the time.

    Why Peterson?

    I've been smoking Peterson exclusively for last 5 years. Most members know this already. But only one member asked why. Not that it's very important, but I had some rum in me tonight and I'm bored. First and for most the shapes. Nothing really special. Just every men's trad shape with just...

    English As A Second Language.

    Wasn't born in US. So obviously, English isn't my native tongue. Korean is. Even over 40 years in US, English isn't exactly easy. But that has to be my language skill. Wasn't much good with Korean either. Articles are mostly missing, and sometimes spelling ain't much good. But found a new...

    Is 4th Gen. Putting Out L. E. Blend 2023?

    You know, overpriced wooden box things. Last two years been good. But not sure when they might release them. 2021 was in Jan., and 2022 was in Apr.. 2020 would have been good, but I think I didn't put them away quick enough thinking about it.

    How do You Carry on Conversation while Smoking?

    I don't. I haven't figured this one out. Tried talking with pipe clenched. Not good. Tried taking it out, too much interference with cadence. Long conversation is even worse, I have to relight. So I just refuse to carry any polite conversation when I'm smoking. It just surprise me that so many...

    Latakia Will Be Smoked Till I'm Sick Of It

    Like many others, I fell in love with Latakia early on. And like many others, I put away good amount of Latakia. Then, I found out from others, that love of Latakia might go away. And I did notice my love of Latakia did slack over time. So I implemented "Latakia Palate Preventive Measures". No...

    Pope Benedict XVI Has Passed Away.

    I'm not a Catholic. Nor do I know much about this Pope other than he stepped down for another Pope. But, I'm sure he had his days of helping the faithful. May is his maker watch over him.

    All Human From Africa?

    Got bored while having dinner. So pull up some reports from 2019 and went over it. The scientist who ran the study picked 200 individuals from specific area and compared it with other African individuals. There are others who do not agree with this study. Samples are too limited, and genetic...

    Things I Hate About Arthritis.

    Pain is given. But, I can't punch with left hand anymore. Joints are too stiff. I can't use chopsticks like I used to. I used to pride myself in my chopsticks use. My kids used to joke that I eat soup with chopsticks. Walking cane slips out of my hand occasionally. Which sucks since I like my...

    Hangover Solution.

    Used to drink V8 with some bitter, fresh ground pepper, salt, and Tabasco sauce for hangover. Sort of like Virgin Mary. But we all know deep down inside, only true cure is more drinking. What's your remedy?

    I'm On The Roll!

    Drinking and enjoy replying to posts. God, I missed doing this. Wife and the kids are away. Mother in law has serious health issue. Kids are back at college setting up the New Year's Eve party. Me? Drinking and posting stuff. Used to do this on Fig Forums. It's still fun and responds are faster...

    Christmas Tradition

    In NYC, Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas. Well, at least when I was living there. It created a tradition of Jewish people going to Chinese restaurants on Christmas since they both do not exactly observe Christmas. Today, went out with boys to see what's open. Starbucks, and Chinese...

    Van Gogh.

    Noticed a lot of self portraits from Vinny. This is around the time he chopped off his ears. Other than the fact that he was, I guess, into self mutilation, I noticed his pipes. The following seems to show possible spigot. I'm not sure when spigot came into use. But I guess it was during WWI...

    3rd Accident Of The Year.

    And 2nd hit and run. Damn. I'm glad this year's about to be done and over with. Talk to the police officers and was told they should have camera at the intersection. Had to wait 2 hrs for the police. My son suggested GrubHub, so we had Jimmy John's waiting for them.
