    Debate : Fine White Ash

    For me, when I first meet a man, the first thing I do is make him smoke a bowl of whatever my favorite tobacco is at the time. If he doesn’t have a pipe, I tie him to the roof of my truck, drive him to the tobacconist, and make him patronize the establishment. I never speak to him until he...

    Corn Cob Aftershave

    Just a brief Google search. Looks like a decanter Avon made in the ‘70s.

    Corn Cob Aftershave

    I own a replacement window business. (Meadowthorpewindows.com if you’re so inclined.) Today I went to a client’s home and spotted the amazing piece of amazingness pictured amazingly below. It naturally sparked up a conversation, and the nice lady told me I could have it. I offered to pay. She...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    I will say this about baseball: it’s the one sport where the experience of live game is almost as good as watching it at home on TV. You get plenty of info on the scoreboards, and the pace of the game lets you digest and think about it. Any other sport, going to the game is a hassle IMO. While...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    My plan is to live to be 80 years old, then be murdered by a jealous man. ?

    Your Response when the Nicotine Hits

    A buddy told me story from when he was a kid. He and his brother got caught with some chew when they were about 12 years old. Dad thought he’d teach them a lesson. Woke them up early on a Saturday, grab the fishing poles, hitched the boat, and went to spend a day on the lake. They get out...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    Check this out: I had heard that when you watch a football broadcast, you only actually watch 11-13 minutes of actual football being played. The rest of the game is stoppages or the 40 second play clock running between plays. I thought NO WAY. So in 2012 or something, my wife and I watched a...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    In the shift, the third baseman usually goes on the other side of the shortstop. In the examples in the pics, he’s the player nearest the second baseman. Shortstop usually stays closest to his position. But again, there are several variations, and it all depends on a particular hitter spray...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    The shift is defensive tactic where instead of two players, you place three players on one side of the infield. Which depends on whether you’ve got a righty or lefty batting. And it’s done in response to their situational hitting tendencies when facing whatever type of pitcher is on the mound...

    MLB What Do You Think?

    Just saw this thread. I had posted something about baseball over in the General Pipe Smoking section, and @Servant King linked to this. As for baseball, I just love the game. I have many of the same frustrations voiced herein. But I can’t stop watching. I just enjoy it too much. Just pure...

    Baseball & a Pipe

    I too hate the DH in the NL. And nobody wants the robot umps. Just today I was looking at my set of 2016 World Series Cubs pint glasses and lamenting the Indians name change. Smh. I do hope baseball can survive all this nonsense.

    Baseball & a Pipe

    I’m a lifelong Cubs fan. And I’m talking, like, a real one. I watch basically every game. I’ve endured the last place seasons. Many of them. I don’t blame Bartman. I blame Gonzalez for not turning the double play to get us out of “that” inning. I often think about Bryant smiling on that...

    Your Response when the Nicotine Hits

    Interesting. I’ve often wondered why my drink of choice when smoking is to sip on a Coke. (Not Pepsi. Coke > Pepsi. I’ll not entertain any contrary suggestions.) But I really only do this when smoking English blends. If I’m smoking sweet Virginias, or even an aro, I don’t like the sweetness of...

    Is There a Worse Sound...

    Question About Using Everclear

    Okay. So I’m extremely curious here. How, why… do you get urine in your pipes? ?

    Suggestions for English Blends

    I’m not 100% sure who exactly makes them. Someone with more knowledge of the industry than I have can hopefully answer that one. I assumed it was blenders who either worked for the businesses who sell them, or either they all buy them bulk from some blenders who specifically work in trying to...

    Suggestions for English Blends

    I just remembered another English I tried around Xmas and thought I’d pass it along. I found it on the Pipes & Cigars website, and it’s very affordable. It’s their MATCH My Mixture 965. I actually like it better than MM 965, tbh, and I really enjoy MM 965. But to be fair, I’d have that this...

    Cheap v.s. expensive VA

    Very true, and very good points. Maybe another thing that influences it could be overhead as well. I own a small replacement window business. I sell many of the exact same brands as the big boys in my area, and in some cases even use the exact same installers, but it’s not uncommon for me to...

    A Blend You Just Can’t Figure Out

    I’ve seen it said in several comments before like this: “There’s just no explaining taste.” Maybe that’s what it all boils down to. Who knows.
