    Looking for a New Knife

    I was going to say Civivi. Low cost, good materials, they feel good in my hand - most cheap knives don’t, they have a little heft and a lil snap when you throw the blade out. Good choice of grip colors and blade shapes in the casual knife user size range.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    I’m pretty sure my cellar has every MB tinned offering except possibly Solent. It’s a bummer how this will stifle the boutique blenders but I’m stocked on them too. Am I tempted to make 1 final order to pad my cellar? Yes. But I’m going to refrain, hopefully so the newer enthusiasts can...

    HU Tobacco Coming to the States

    This is what I’m trying to suss…To a guy like me who has a wide variety in his cellar, do I really want to bother trying these. As a for instance, they make a BurVa, I have BurVa blends from other companies Will their BurVa offer me a different experience or too similar to make it not worth...

    Art And Things.

    Set up a still life and draw it. Drawing a logo, or from a picture is fine but using your brain to transcribe 3d to 2d is the fun part. Try drawing the whole image without removing your pencil from the paper

    Cigar Shapes/Sizes

    Oh interesting. I see the logic in either statement. It could have been a biased claim more than a fact for all I know. I actually like long skinny cigars a lot lately. I had some really good ones by Hoya de Nicaragua if I am not mistaken. It may be mental, but to me the bouquet feels...

    the licorice isn’t loud and in your face, but they use it in Uhle’s CWB

    Cigar Shapes/Sizes

    I smoke all shapes and sizes, torpedoes being a favorite. I like ring gauges in the high 40s to low 50s, from a comfort standpoint, though they say you can pack more flavor into a big cigar than a thin one.

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    i mainly only use mine camping because I can sit there for two hours and smoke through the entire bowl. It’s not practical for my everyday use, but I wasn’t considering these things at the time of purchase. I now know better.

    A Question About Tall Bowls, Help Wanted

    I have one of the really tall cobs. My lessons learned include: Smoke shag, or lighter fare. If you don’t, prepare for relights. This is where the hemp twine excels. You can reach down in there with it and light specific spots. Tallboys clench poorly too. I can’t recommend tall pipes...
