    Did I get Lucky With This Meer?

    Such a great looking pipe. That replacement stem really transformed it in my opinion. I wish it were possible to get that sort of quality direct from the maker.

    The Rough Road to Rio: An MG Adventure for the Ages

    Thanks for the info. I wasn’t expecting to break any land speed records but 0-60 in 14 sec. is pretty slow. As for maintenance thanks for the warning. I’m not the most mechanically inclined guy but I have been driving older LandRovers most of my adult life so I am familiar with the joys of high...

    The Rough Road to Rio: An MG Adventure for the Ages

    Great story thanks for sharing. I always wanted a late 60’s or early 70’s MGB GT but have never gotten serious about it

    EZ1 Blending Attempt

    I’m not sure if I have any blending perique but if I do I may try something like this: 50% Captain Black Grape to provide a dominant fruity grape essence. 20% Perique to add a fermented, raisin-like qualities reminiscent of aged wine. 20% Virginia tobacco to add natural sweetness and a touch of...

    EZ1 Blending Attempt

    I was thinking a guy might be able to construct something of a wine like taste with the right combination of tobaccos and a hint of CB Grape but maybe not. CBG is a lot more Hubba Bubba than it is Cabernet lol.

    EZ1 Blending Attempt

    @telescopes have you used CB Grape as a condiment in any of your blending experiments? I don’t really care for it straight but it might add an interesting dimension to a home blend if used sparingly

    You Asked for It, You Got it! No More Member Welcome Category

    Whatever works. I won’t miss it but I did think it was nice for the newbs. On a side note- without welcome threads it will be a lot more difficult to pad your post count on the way to lifer status or the 5000 club.

    My Return

    Welcome back! Sounds like you’ve had a pretty shiitty time of it while absent from the PM forums. Glad to hear you are ok. It also sounds like maybe you were lucky and it could have been a lot worse. Inattentive drivers suck.

    2025 will be the Year of...

    This is exactly where my mind went when I read “Leafs win the cup” Followed shortly after by a line from another great Tragically Hip song: “you said you didn't give a fuck about hockey and I never saw someone say that before”

    Hay Walmart! Say It Ain't So!

    True- there are many sectors that were once dominated by small businesses but are now increasingly dominated by corporations. This is a reality that I don’t like and maybe in my initial post I should have said I don’t like what Walmart’s presence has done to small communities rather than “what...

    Hay Walmart! Say It Ain't So!

    I see your point but I think it is an over simplification to attribute business failures in small communities solely to consumer choices while ignoring the broader economic context and the challenges faced by local businesses in competing with a large corporation like Walmart.

    Hay Walmart! Say It Ain't So!

    That makes sense… when it’s all you got it’s all you got. I didn’t mean to sound elitist, I just don’t like Walmart or what it has done to places like where you live.
