    Drones over New Jersey

    I'm not sure I'd call them a " psychic" phenomenon. "Psychological", now, yeah. I mean to flat earthers, the flat earth is very real too. But ... 😁.

    Drones over New Jersey

    Not really. If they weren't really there in the first place (in the way the public was panicking about them) it's pretty inevitable people would figure out by now that the "drone" they saw yesterday actually flies over at roughly the same time every night, all lit up. 😁

    Drones over New Jersey

    Well, as an update, I still have literally not seen a single video of this supposed "drone phenomenon" that haven't been identifiable as manned aircraft. Almost all of them are airliners. It's actually surprising considering drones do exist, and so by now I'm really surprised someone hasn't...

    Drones over New Jersey

    Hard to find something that isn't there.

    Drones over New Jersey

    This is one of the funniest things that's happened in YEARS.... At least, it would be if it didn't give me such concern for our future. It's like collectively, people have forgotten that there are things IN THE SKY. Every day. And there have been for years. I've viewed the footage of every...

    Tobacco pouches/ leather bags why do they exist?

    My feeling was always that they exist as a "vibe", something that is pleasant in a tactile sense. A Ziploc bag is easily the best solution from a practical standpoint.

    Halloween

    Exactly this. If you want to go back to what Halloween traditionally was, you've got to go back to Samhain and other pagan festivals. Similar to Easter, Christmas etc... The newer cultures all borrow from the older.

    Favorite Youtube Channel?

    I just read this whole thread and was going to mention Malcolm Guite, and there in the last message someone beat me to it ;). Otherwise a number of my favorites have popped up... Stuff and Things, NW Pipe Smoker, Bremem Pipe Smoker, Goulet pens etc. Ward Caroll is good for naval aviation fans...

    Suddenly Lost my Taste for Pipe Tobacco

    Some pretty classic late 90s anthems on that album! And I will never forget the art 😂.

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    ??? Natural selection has created a LOT of really highly poisonous organisms. Obviously if a trait can be developed naturally, it can be developed via intentional manipulation - whether that's hybridization or transgenic processes. One just takes a lot longer... Also remember that the "dead...

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    Almost nothing you eat has been developed via natural selection. Almost everything you eat has instead been modified by humans over time, via multiple techniques that select for desirable characteristics. (Obviously even natural selection is a form of genetic modification, but the point is...

    GMO Tobacco/No Nicotine

    I like pipe smoking, but have never cared for feeling the nicotine. I'd be pretty happy with nicotine-free tobacco if it could be used to create my favorite blends (which are all Oriental-heavy Englishes and so pretty low nic to begin with.). As far as the GMO issue, there seems to be a lot of...

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    25 year old tin of McClelland's Dark Star. I remember it biting the hell out of me when fresh, but after forgetting about it for 15 years, then re-hydrating and jarring it, it STILL is hard to get it to burn, but it's nice and smooth and tastes like toasted marshmallows. I have a couple...

    I Don't See Three on a Donkey.

    Not even kidding, I kind of like it. I'm not exactly sure what I'd do with it... But I kind of like the transition from raw organic wood, to polished and finished guitar. Maybe a guitar maker would appreciate it more? I'm no kind of craftsman, and barely a guitarist, so maybe I'm just...

    Suggestions - Honey/Graham Cracker Flavor

    MacBaren Scottish Mixture has a lot of this too.

    Are We Too Casual?

    I'm mostly a lurker on pipe forums, but I've been doing that for a while and I've noticed that this is a thread that crops up with some regularity. It could be summarized as "the rest of the world doesn't care what I think of it and this is wrong." Conversely, another thread that tends to...

    Praise to Peretti

    Definitely not that I can taste. Cuban is not what I'd call an aromatic... Tastes like a good cigar with Latakia!

    Praise to Peretti

    I took this as conjecture of a light mint casing (not really a topping.) on many of their blends. I will say that since I've read that on TR, I've sometimes thought I could notice that I was left with a bit of a clean, fresh mouthfeel (well, cleaner than usual after smoking a Latakia blend for...

    Praise to Peretti

    Royal, Tashkent, and Oriental 40 are fantastic. Cambridge Flake is my favorite tobacco of all time. I'm in my late 40s and I've got enough Cambridge Flake cellared already to guarantee I'll have some to smoke in retirement, even if it goes away tomorrow (granted I'm just a few bowls a week...

    California's First Tropical Storms in 84 Years

    This isn't exactly true (actually, it's false.). The shift to using the "climate change" wording happened not because warming was slower than forecast (it's actually remained well within the IPCC's "most likely" forecast). It's because "climate change" is actually a more accurate term for what...
