    Picked This Up Off Side Of The Road

    We used to look for days designated to put out heavy trash in nice neighborhoods. Jeff Foxworthy talks about his first apartment (all of our first apartment) with the beanbag chair repaired with duct tape and the bookcase made from boards and cinderblocks... with the $5,000 stereo on it.

    Why Does Pipe Tobacco Suck So Much Compared to Cigars? Seriously?

    Wow... Well, to answer the OP 1. All of the above. 2. I'd be willing to bet that you haven't tried many pipe tobaccos. I started out smoking cigar leaf in a pipe and now smoke Burley, a very unflavored tobacco forward smoke. Many old timers here smoke very tobacco forward blends. 2a. The...

    Picked This Up Off Side Of The Road

    I've seen lots of stuff out on the curb as people get bored and begin even more vigorous spring cleaning. My standards to stop have increased as well, though. That there looks like a great score.

    The Beauties of Burley

    I think that cigar smokers who come here asking for a pipe tobacco to substitute for sticks should have Burley recommended. Doesn't taste a thing like a cigar, but it presses all the buttons. I grow my own and buy whole leaf. Never liked aromatics. I've smoked English, Virginia, and cigar leaf...

    Tobacco Experiments: Stoved Virginia

    Great post! I used to stove everything. I would float a bowl with the tobacco in it in a crock pot full of water and stove for about 8 hours. It would get pretty wet from the steam and, as you say, would be doing cavendish to an extent. I stopped doing it because it seemed that all the...

    Is Short-Wave Radio Still a Thing?

    Yes. There is a difference between an antenna to get your feet wet and the antenna you should have if you enjoy this. Your TV antenna and the wire going to it will make a good enough starter antenna. Eventually, something like this would be what you want.

    How Important is Nicotine to You (After Quitting Cigs)

    I certainly do. I get up in the morning very early, start the coffee, and go onto the back porch to smoke while it brews. A pipe is not like a cigarette in that the nicotine hit is delayed, and more sustained. So, I don't get that quick hit, but I sure feel the tobacco wake me up. ^^Agree^^ I...
