HTTPS error
Ah - it sounds like you had ‘http’ instead of ‘https’ at the beginning of the address. Many browsers have a setting to only use https, and just about every site these days use https. I think you were the victim of a technological typo :col:- Sparcdude

Why Do Folks Say to Sip While You Smoke?
I’ve never paid much attention to whether I sip or not. I just smoke. Never had issues with tongue bite or not getting the flavor. I do smoke my tobacco crispy, however, so I may instinctively sip as crispy tends to smoke a little hotter.- Sparcdude

My car burns coconuts
One of my co-workers is from Mexico and his wife is from Spain - they only speak English with each other as neither can understand the other’s Spanish, which I found odd. He told me the accent and dialect, along with idioms, etc. are completely different. There’s enough differences to cause some...- Sparcdude

Returning Trumpet Player After 55 Years
I tried going back to the trumpet after many years, but it didn’t go well. I have full dentures these days, so my embouchure is, shall we say, “interesting”. It irritates me that I can’t maintain my tone anymore. In my playing days, the director said I sounded like a cornet, while my cornet...- Sparcdude

How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?
Organization…interesting concept, one that I have never subscribed to. Takes all the fun out of rummaging through everything (I thought I lost those years ago…but i digress). Nothing like finding a surprise and enjoying it. I have a stack of tins - no particular order, just a stack. Grab one or...- Sparcdude

Is The Final Destination Movie Sponsored By Acme?
The incessant ads for the movie “Final Destination Bloodlines” remind me of a Road Runner cartoon. The cast appear to be different incarnations of Wile E Coyote and all the implements taking them out should have “Acme” on them. I haven’t seen any of them, nor do I plan to, but I just can’t help...- Sparcdude

How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?
While my pallet isn’t the greatest, the tastes and aromas are discernible to me. I usually have something to drink during and between smokes. Could be water, scotch, or beer depending on my mood. I think that “cleansing” your pallet between bowls helps. What beverages work is left as an...- Sparcdude

Smoking one Pipe Until it’s Plum Worn out.
Maybe it’s just me, but that’s never been my experience. I’m most likely an outlier in the sense that pipe smoking is not a hobby to me (to be honest, I really don’t understand why some refer to it that way), it’s a habit. To each their own, though. The bottom line is if you get enjoyment and... -
Smoking one Pipe Until it’s Plum Worn out.
I had a Grabow Omega that I smoked almost exclusively for about 5 years, then the shank broke. I’ve tried a few more pipes, but I’ve settled on my Peterson Christmas 2023. I don’t have the most extensive collection of pipes (maybe 9 or 10), and my Pete serves me well. I smoke about 8-10 bowls a...
