    Extreme Weather

    Yeah New England winter can be cruel! That's the '78 blizzard, legend in my part of Ohio...there's an entire generation of 44 year old "Blizzard Babies," barns that still exhibit damage from the winds...those who lived through it talk about it like war vets, everyone's got their own story...

    Extreme Weather

    Yeah, we're supposed to drive up to my Mom's for family Christmas tomorrow. It's an hour in good weather, I'd suspect three in what's coming. She's up on the lake shore and is going to have 70+mph wind and twice the snow as me. Might just skip it. I've got a nice 4x4 truck, but that doesn't...

    Extreme Weather

    Good advice for everyone. I think this storm is quite a bit worse for folks than what Connecticut sees once or twice a year though, it's going to be quite bad and I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be historic. My area is going to see 65mph wind for nearly 36 hours, combined with...

    Extreme Weather

    My forecast is for it to go from ~40 degrees to ~3 degrees in two hours, with 4-6 inches of snow (in two hours) and winds up to 65mph, which will continue until Saturday, when more snow comes. Wind-chill temps will be -20 to -30 until Sunday, when they'll only be -5 or so. It's gonna be wild.

    Am I Paranoid, or is This Happening?

    Sounds more like some kid at your bank made a wrong call, and less like they're punishing you for buying tobacco or government agencies are monitoring you for buying tobacco. If they don't fix it, tell them you're taking your money to another bank. Then they'll fix it.

    My Fifth Pfizer Shot

    Interesting about the Amish, I'm smack dab in the center of the second largest Amish community and they, like the rest of us, are all different. Some have their shots, some don't. A fairly large amount of their elder population died of COVID. They almost all have cell phones, smoke or vape...

    New YouTube Pipe Channel

    I never really cared for YouTube pipe channels, save for a few individual videos here and there which were either entertaining (both intentionally and unintentionally) or informative. I think the proliferation of YouTube instructional videos plays a part in overcomplicating things for newbies.

    Hot pockets?

    I'm with the others here with a shirt pocket or whatever. Except I dump the ash out, first. If I'm in the car, I just put it in a cup holder. I have a quarter in the car which is all kinds of black and stinky from laying it over the still smoldering bowl of hundreds of half smoked car pipes.

    Sharing Of Knowledge.

    Yeah, this right here. There are so many nuances to discuss about every aspect of smoking a pipe, it's endlessly dissected and gone over but at the end of the day, you just stuff tobacco in the thing and smoke it, and if you're enjoying it you're doing it right. It took me a few years to...

    Sharing Of Knowledge.

    Ive been around pipe forums long enough to have seen the knowledge and advice that is passed actually change over time. I think the more we answer newbie questions and the more info we pass amongst ourselves, the more we collectively change and adapt our pipe knowledge to new ideas. Fifteen...

    I Know How to Clean Behind My Ears, But

    Funny. I literally just looked at that spot on a pipe I was smoking and thought ew... Fingernail and a flick of the schmoo off into the bushes took care of it!

    Can you spray cologne inside the bowl ?

    I have no idea what's going on.

    That looks alright, I suppose :LOL:

    Sad News, Harris Has Passed

    Sad. I never really interacted with him much on here, but I enjoyed his posts, especially when they were big long stories about hustling cars or managing some other business. He's one of the people here for whom I have a definite mental image, I could just picture him in my mind's eye, just...

    I can't taste flavor

    I can say that Drum rolling tobacco is just fine in a pipe. Very flavorful, but burns fast and hot. I'd bet that any other rolling tobacco that is similar to Drum would also be ok, if you can find it. In fact, I'd bet that the more pricey rolling tobaccos available in your country are...

    The Most Moronic Thing You’ve Ever Done

    I worked 3rd shift at Amazon in DuPont, WA for about 9 months. Awful job. I was in 53' trailers for 10-14 hours a night stacking thousands of packages all night long, as quickly as I possibly could. Because we had to go through a metal detector in order to leave the building on lunch (I liked...

    Musk Buying Twitter Part II

    And he never specified what on Twitter was being "censored," either. Interesting. Elon Musk is a brat. 44 billion dollars. Just the thought of a single human having 44 billion dollars and using it to buy Twitter instead of anything - ANYTHING - positive for the human race just makes me feel ill.

    Indiscernible Blends…?

    That's exactly how it worked for me. Englishes were so tasty and new that it's all I wanted to smoke. After about a decade though I started getting into the VAs and stuff. I still like an English here and there, but whatever nuances they may have singularly, with a few exceptions, are lost to...

    Indiscernible Blends…?

    All right I'm ready to be hung and gibbeted here but honestly, about 75% of English blends are indistinguishable to me. There are notable exceptions, but truly they all taste the same to me. It's why I don't stock up or even try many of them any more, I just know what to expect. They all...
