    Time For A Smoke & A Shiver 2025

    I forgot which annual this would be so I'm just going with the year. Tonight I've got Marlin Flake in a jack-o-lantern meer by Kenan and I'm polishing off a bottle of Hennessy XO: Tradition dictates we start with The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. Here are my three favorite versions...

    St Bernardus Kombine

    An unfiltered helles made in collaboration with Weihenstephan. I'm typically not a big fan of helles but I had to try it and I like it. A bit richer/fuller and less sweet than a typical helles.

    Tres Tripel Comparison!

    Doing a little direct comparison taste test tonight. The Orval is great but the St. Bernardus is noticeably better. The Tre Fontane is on another level.

    El Gato Gordo in Puerto Vallarta

    I had the pleasure of stopping in here a few days ago while on vacation. Excellent selection of both cigars and spirits.

    Xicar Resource II Lighter

    I picked up one of these and have been using it for a little while now and love it. It has a piezo push button that is easy to use and a nice soft flame from the side. It has built-in tools. It fills easily and the flame adjustment is easy to catch with a fingernail, flip up, and adjust...

    My New Fan Variant by Doug Finlay!

    In a bit of randomness I just happened to be on Instagram (I'm not a fan of Instagram) and Doug @doug535 just happened to post a pic of a pipe and noted he was just about done with making it. I contacted him and asked if it would be available. Long story short, it's complete and he's shipping...

    Brandy Acquisition Disorder (BAD?)

    My shipment got kicked back by customs but the seller re-shipped at no charge without me even asking! Cleared customs the second time around so a huge shout out goes to Fine Drams! The Grosperrin Tenareze 1985 is a bit hot at 108 proof but very rich and complex. I'm reluctant to add...

    Yanik Vampire

    I wrangle far too many monkeys to earn a living and therefore must treat myself every now and then. So... I couldn't resist adding this vampire by Yanik to my collection: Now I just need to pick a blend to break it in with.

    Any Techies Here Familiar With Disc Stations

    I'm looking at setting a multi-purpose home server disc station. Some of my questions are probably too specific to the equipment I'm looking at but maybe not. Things I'm interested in: File Sharing (Family Pictures, etc.) Media Server (Streaming A/V) Surveillance (Replace my...

    Lazy Cat Tamper by Larry Blackett

    Just arrived today. It looks really familiar to something from my childhood which is why I ordered it. Excellent craftsmanship and it's nice and hefty. I'm super happy.

    2 Pipes & A Jeep

    It's been a little while since we have been able to take the jeep out thanks to a hole the size of the grand canyon in the radiator. I replaced the radiator and all went well on this trip. Went a beautiful spot near an old mine that still had some snow on the ground and stopped for a light...

    American Smoke, English Cheddar

    @mawnansmiff I recently found what is the best cheddar I've ever tasted. Everyone who tried it was very impressed by it. I picked up 2 more wheels(?) of it and put one in the smoker. I quartered it for increased surface area to smoke exposure. It's cold smoking now and I'll remove it from the...
