    What Music Are You Listening to? - February 2023

    Haven't seen them represented yet this month, so here's what's playing at the moment:

    Shows Like The Equalizer Worth Revisiting

    It's not from the same era, but Justified is in my Top 5 series list of all time.

    About those Nirvana/Ultimate smokes…

    I think the setting and palate at the moment have a lot to do with enhancing the experience. Most of those Nirvana tobacco experience I've had in the last 20 years or so have been great cigars, but I've had a few with pipes. Problem with pipes is I can't repeat those experiences with any...

    What are Your Hobbies?

    Thanks! I've owned many guitars over the years, but have gradually filtered them out to my favorite representative of each style (e.g., strat, tele, Les Paul, etc.). Especially the Les Paul, I've owned several dozen over time, but I only have one now, and it'll probably be buried with me or...

    Tell Me About Electric Guitars

    I've played for 35 years, all good advice in prior posts. Take my advice with a grain of salt, as the only job I've ever been fired from was guitar teacher; twice, in fact (for not making it fun). 1. Get a decent acoustic. I started learning on my mom's old Yamaha (FG-18 I think it was)...

    What are Your Hobbies?

    Guitar (electric and acoustic) is probably my first hobby (and most expensive). Been picking for 35 years, played in lots over bands over the years, non-professionally. Dog refuses to not be photographed. I have some more acoustics but not out (old Gibson,classical, etc.) I also enjoy...

    All Human From Africa?

    Sometimes I suspect my wife is not of this solar system; so yeah, I am suspect of this report.

    More Mold Identification

    Late to the party. My vote is mostly crystallized sugars and other organic compounds from the casing getting squeezed out during the pressing and drying on the cuts. Actual pipe tobacco mold I experienced a few times will gag you with the smell, and is very furry and wispy.

    The Dog with the Most Expressive Face Ever

    It's no coincidence that Dog is the only anagram you can make with the word God.

    Grousemoor by Samuel Gawith

    Is there less sauce on this as there was 10-15 years ago? I've enjoyed Grousemoor in the past, but only a few bowls a year because the rose and geranium scent and flavors were overwhelming.

    Quality Changes With J.F. Germain & Son?

    I haven't opened any recent ones yet, but in prior years I had noticed some variation between batches. These are organic (i.e., once alive) products, so just like wine, lumber, or anything else that was once a living organism, there will be variances from year to year based on a whole range of...

    Question about Tobacco Dryness among Varieties

    I'd start with the 62% and see if that gets you an improvement after a week.

    Question about Tobacco Dryness among Varieties

    Mold could definitely happen with water droplets in a jar. I lost several ounces of Dunbar that way a few years back, jar wasn't bone dry when I put a bag's worth in it. You could rehydrate in a jar with a Boveda pack for a few weeks.

    Best Store Bought Eggnog?

    Here in western Virginia there is a regional dairy (Homestead Creamery) that makes the best store-bought eggnog (and boiled custard) I've ever had. They also sell all products in returnable glass bottles, which is kinda retro cool. Both the eggnog and boiled custard are great with a shot of...

    Tempering a Sweet Tooth

    Lots of water, lots of fresh fruit, and the best dried fruit I've found are dates and figs. Especially the quasi-dried figs that come in mylar bags at a middle-eastern grocery store (Ziyad brand dried figs). Some bags are just mediocre but half the time they contain figs that are covered in...

    How/What Beverages do You Pair with Your Pipe?

    Black coffee or water. Anything else doesn't jive for me, ruins the smoke and the smoke ruins the beverage flavors, at least in my mouth.

    My Fifth Pfizer Shot

    My wife had the same exact diagnosis in November 2019. Guess what the doctor prescribed? Ivermectin. That's the only reason we even knew what that drug was before it went all political. Not being political here, just stating facts.

    Back on the Keto

    First off, that's a great price for roast for rib roast. I'd be sorely tempted to have made a prime rib roast with those. I tried the no carb diet in the past (Atkins it was called back then), and it was not for me. I was miserable, actually gained weight, and the constipation was horrible...

    Well Now I’ve Seen It All
