    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    I think I know what you mean they can be a little stiff. For the price I didn’t mind and with enough use it eases up some.

    Thanks. I actually love it and it was around $20. Good little plug cutter/cubing knife

    Thanks. I’ll explore their inventory next week and hopefully find a few winners. This morning it’s C&D Red Hunt in a Savinelli and whatever this cheap knife is

    The First Day of Summer..... And?

    I went running from 7 to 9pm to enjoy the longest day of the year. Caught a nice sunset. Had a late night cigar.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    I can see why these are popular. I find deploying and retracting the blade satisfying and perhaps mildly fascinating, like I’m a primate who has discovered a child’s toy. I was on blade HQ, mainly because I had heard of them before. I like all the variations in the blades and finishes they...

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    Good to know be cause I like mine so much I was thinking about getting 2 more for my friends. I also want one of the Dirac models of theirs for me, which is where the switch is on the face of the grip, not the edge. Just waiting to see one spec’d how I want it…which makes me wonder are these...

    is a result of using it over time and the stress that exerts on certain components that keep the blade centered? Can the blade play be corrected? I just got my first OTF and it’s rock solid for now, but given the price I really expect some longevity and serviceability. MY kit today is watch...

    Hot Dogs.

    I generally pan fry in peanut oil. I find that most of the common brands, even the better ones have high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar so I get Applewood Farms organic hotdogs since they’re a little cleaner. You know the ones. The ones that give you 6 dogs instead of 8 to leave you with...

    Lack of Respect for Sutliff?

    Have you tried their #5 Blend? It’s a great English IMO. Nobody really talks about it here but I find it lovely,a nod at a decent price.

    Best Peach?

    Me either. I wish they’d dose it up a notch.

    El Septimo Recommendations

    I recently sprung for a $48 el septimo excepecion Esmeralda. It was described as organic tobacco aged 15 years so I figured it must be awesome but it burnt terribly. The flavor could have been good iif it didn’t draw so thin. Because it performed so poorly I will not buy another .

    Jim's SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto Review.

    That would irk me. Nothing worse than a poorly rolled smoke.

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    GMO can be doing something similar to selective breeding but it’s like an accelerated version of it since breeders don’t have to breed for generations to achieve a desired trait. But the end result is something that is still possible to arrive at through natural breeding. The problematic...

    Jim's SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto Review.

    Mine was pretty good. I just think priced too close to cigars that I feel offer a bit more. Worth trying 1 IMO

    Cigar TAD 2024!

    Do you mind divulging who sells these one pack at a time? I wanted to try the de Nobilis but I was seeing only bulk offerings…

    Jim's SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto Review.

    I got 1 toro coming. I’m not expecting to love it and I am not expecting $14 worth of satisfaction from it. But I want it to work and if it does I’ll snag a box. I was underwhelmed with those Stilwell gars made from pipe tobacco. But I remain optimistic.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I pulled the plug on Atlas Shrugged at over 600 pages in. Life’s too short and my library is too vast.

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    I had forgotten this, but I met the band Creed around ‘99. I was at an underground rave in Atlanta. Nice guys.

    The Famous or Infamous You have Met

    British garage music guy The Streets, who I assume is no longer popular but was among a certain crowd 20 years ago. Also Ralph Stanley II, a bluegrass guy who is on SiriusXM so I guess he has to be famous for bluegrass if that’s not an oxymoron . Went to a party at his house he throws every...
