    Food & Drink in South Korea - What to Try?

    I just wanna know what chicken on a stick costs these days. 20-25 years ago they were $1 from any given street vendor. Even if you drank away all your money you could rummage your pockets for a few singles and be fed. It was so good.

    I Don't Even Own A Bull

    That would be cool if nobody claims him.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    Thanks. I’m going to order a pair. One reviewer said he used 2-sided tape to mount one to the wallet valet in the car dash, which would really be helpful.

    I just looked at it. It is very similar to mine! I really would love a properly notched receptacle to rest my pickaxe on.

    Federal Taxes on Cigars & Pipe Tobacco

    Glad I’m well stocked. Probably a matter of time before something like this will pass, at which point I’ll just ration my stock.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    You’re correct- I appended my post on page 36 saying as much. It must have been you that commented when I first bought it…Did you ever find a pickaxe to your taste?

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    Thanks. I think it is sweet too. I can’t say Mike Bay rings any bells; it is probably somebody else. I should look through my email receipts. It is funny, I often forget the maker of my more artisanal pipes. It’s bad really, like not knowing who painted the painting on your living room...

    I didn’t know that had Prelip in it. Guess I’m gonna have to see about ordering me a satchel. WCC blends always are at least very good, more often great in my experience. Interesting leaf motif on your piece there…

    Czech Tool

    I think the Decos look sharp when in public, and I like the ports as I often inhale while tamping. I’m sure air can still be taken in around the perimeter of non-ported ones but I just like how these perform a little more. Czech tools are great just to keep everywhere in case I forget my deco...

    Sense of Smell Makes a Big Difference

    Try running heat low. Mine is only at 63. This will help with sinus issues. Get your ductwork cleaned and use a HEPA filter. Also unclog them by eating pure horseradish or wasabi or very hot peppers. Humidifier and netti-pot are also helpful.

    How much

    If I did pay my max would be 20 + 5 tip for a supercuts type establishment. Maybe double for a stylist that can make it look real cool. But now I rock the clippers. After 20 years of that I’ve noted that with Wahl, Norelco and Oyster the motor will eventually fail. I have now sprung for a...

    Is it Me, or Is it the Tobacco?

    We would have to import the indigenous woods and herbs that they fuelEd their fires with in Syria/ Cyprus.

    Czech Tool

    Mine are the opposite; I wouldn’t mind them being a tad looser

    Sam Gawith Burnt Ends

    You could say that American soul food often uses the scraps and lesser cuts and many people have come to celebrate it nowadays; it’s not looked down upon anyways.
