    What are You Watching? Year 2022

    Watched this last night on Paramount+. 4.5/5 Pretty good. Bonus, Ben Kingsely smokes a pipe during much of it.

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    The majority of voters picked Joe Biden who needs help putting his pants on to make sure the zipper is in the front. What’s your point?

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    If something is known in the nanny state of CA, isn't it known in DC as well? I wouldn't mind living in CA and it's climate, but the know-it-all people there? Nah.

    Germain/Esoterica- No Warning Labels

    Good to know what happened with those big B&W warning labels. All of a sudden I was seeing these on tins I bought, and then they mysteriously just stopped showing up on all the tins - maybe it was discussed here or elsewhere, but I never came across the explanation before. On a separate note -...

    Musk Buying Twitter Part II

    Kinda like this: Patients who raise concerns about trans women being put on female-only hospital wards are comparable with racists and may have to be “removed”, NHS guidance suggests.

    Musk Buying Twitter Part II

    Someone mentioned crypto...SBF deserves to rot in jail. Another total POS.

    Musk Buying Twitter Part II

    Just spittin' opinions - Bill Gates is an asshole. Elon Musk? Not so much.

    What Pipe Would You Buy?

    Thanks. Yes, I have a handful of Eskimos from him and a few other carvers: It's the Burak, which supposedly inspired Eltang, that's eluding me.

    What Pipe Would You Buy?

    The top one in this pic by Ed Burak is what I'm hoping to someday have the chance to acquire. Have yet to have had the opportunity or even see one in person.

    David Bowie Wrote Good Songs...

    Funny how varied the opinions. Personally, I think he's one of the greatest and coolist of all time. Saw him live only once unfortunately but one of my favorite shows of all time. This was mid-80's, the period some are saying was a low for him. All of my albums were stolen around that time...

    Who is Part of the 20,000 Post Club?

    Thank god you have to click the arrow to see someone's post counts on this forum. I never understood celebrating those with "milestone" post counts as if there was merit in the volume. If you were in smokerforum, you probably get that.

    What are You Watching? Year 2022

    You took the words outta my mouth. Each episode is a big nothing burger. Concurring with 2/5.

    Commission question

    I've gotten away from commissions almost 100% because of these dilemmas. At most, going forward, I'd say to tell carver X when he has another one (whatever shape/whatever carver), if they will keep you in mind and let you know. You now have avoided committing to it. If he eventually sends a...

    Got Milk? Apparently Not

    Heard of a guy named Fauci? Ever dared to ask a question re climate/global/ice-age/warming change?

    Got Milk? Apparently Not

    At this point I've heard more than enough from the "shut up and trust the science" shills. Science isn't doctrine. It should welcome challenges and the opportunity to defend positions/theories. Anytime someone counters a challenge with name-calling, it's safe to assume they've resorted to...

    The Obligatory Newbie Thread: Dunhill

    I do like the history of the brand, but also IMO they hit the "proper" proportions of classic shapes perfectly and every time. Others may as well, but none better. Lovats, billiards, various bulldog renditions, the Oom Paul (Hungarian), etc. Prove me wrong ;-)

    Storage of Bouchons de Semois

    Mine came dry and brittle. It smoked fine, but I put the rest of the box in a humidor - mine's set at 64%. I just don't want the wrappers crumbling off when preparing them to smoke.
