    Clenching = saliva = shirt drool.

    I tried the little rubber bits on the end and hated it. I felt like they made me slobber more.

    Clenching = saliva = shirt drool.

    Practice & repetition. It improves. Maybe not full stop, but it improves.

    Wish I Knew

    I love it when this happens, and it happens quite often for me. Usually I figure out the blend, sometimes not. And for me, I'm not convinced it's really about the "dryness"; it seems to be more "married" or "melded" in my interpretation. I don't think that I've ever "dried it more" and ended up...

    Fig Jam

    I have several fig bushes and this particular year it appears that I'm on pace to have my best production volume in the 9 years since I planted them. We love them and I give many away when they're ripe but eat loads as well. Never made any jam or similar but if we get more this year my wife just...

    Connections Between Pipe Tobacco and Elevated PSA

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I had one, an 82s with a fishtail stem. It was my first "Peterson Product" or similar stamping. It had partial rustication you could see from the front. I enjoyed it but became so enamored with the P-lip (when I got one) that I let it go in exchange for others. It looked like this - but with the...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I just tried petersonpipenotes.org and nothing came up with a search there. I'm sure it's in my Peterson book at home but I've not studied through it yet. It is great for looking up things when I wish, but I've not memorized it by any means...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I can't answer specifically about what a Captain Pete "is", but I have 2 that are a bent bulldog shape. I don't recall if mine have the same gold-silver-gold band as yours, I'd have to look, but probably the same. Both of mine are pretty hefty and feel nice in hand and stay cool. Also the same...

    Mac Baren Tin Dating

    I have about 10 of the 100g tins from ~3 years ago aging as well. I think I burned my way through 2 of them and that got me intrigued. When I found out there was over 40 different varietals in the blend, I felt it might be very interesting to have some for the future me to try.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2025?***

    Yenidje Agonye in the clog. I've only the one tin, gifted to me years ago, and it's light and delicate. Better as a first rather than "later".

    Convoluted Shipping Routes

    I had some interesting "detours" provided to me for tracking a UPS shipment this very week. I can't say for sure that the actual packages wandered around the country - but the tracking notifications indicated they did. Not too much of a delay though.
