    Peterson Carved Meerschaum

    Not very rare. But it's a Pete, and it's a meer. Looks to be well used with sterling band. Don't spend too much on it. But who knows when the next one will show up.

    That's another way of increasing tax income for the government. Everyone knows people will smoke 10 times more to get their nic fix. Sneaky bastards.

    Does Slow and Steady Win the Race for Rehydrating Old Blends.

    Cut off the amount you want to smoke. Spray with distilled water using atomizer, just once. Gently move the tobacco around. Smoke it, or dump it in a trash can.

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    Government can come up with a law to ban tobacco. LE can enforce it. But neither of 'em can stop the black market. People will keep on smoking, south of border will surply the goods, border guards will try to stop the goods moving across the line.. You know how it will end. The government will...

    Beef Tallow

    Good stuff. Now, bacon grease, there's a gold. After making bacon, I used to filter it through coffee filter and save them in a jar. When cooking, a good tablespoon will add a depth of flavor. Amazing addition when making weinkraut.

    Thoughts on The Chair?

    Back in late 80s when I was attending NCSU, they had what looked like chair in the picture. Most comfortable chair I have ever used. They were well worn, and just felt perfect. Looking through the our library pictures, it seems they have gotten rid of them and replaced with new office chairs...

    Maybe I'm not packing the pipe tight enough? Lots of smoke with small draw...

    Don't puff. Let the smoke just roll into your mouth while gently breathing through your nose.

    For insurance purpose, "Hell Yeah I Smoke". Don't want to deal with other BS. Besides, all my doctors know I smoke. But there used to be some discount if promise to work out and other crap.

    What Does BBQ Mean To You?

    I don't smoke meat. Grill occasionally. When someone says BBQ, it's gotta be Carolina chopped pork with vinegar based sauce. Coleslaw and hush puppies are must.

    I Started With Matches

    I started with matches. Not because they are practical, especially on the front porch, but because it's suggested as a better choice. After going through number of boxes of matches, I basically said "fuck this" and started using Bic. But I've noticed Bic can lightly char the ream in heavy wind...

    Purple Elephant Fluffbunny!

    Never judged a book by the cover. But sometimes, good cover does have a good story. Normally, I'll read about the blend to see what's in it. If it sounds good, I'll give it a shot regardless of the name. But names are funny thing there was an ale called "cock ale". It actually had chicken in it...
