    Quiet Nights: The Penzance Replacement

    Agreed! Blackpool is sooooo complex and naturally sweet. The licorice is a nice bonus for those of us who are addicted to like licorice.

    Quiet Nights: The Penzance Replacement

    Personally, I've never understood the comparison. The 8oz. I bought and smoked of Penzance years ago was very underwhelming and even a bit boring to my tastes. I love Quiet Nights though and find it very complex, smooth and enjoyable for a regular smoke. Funny how tastes differ.

    RIP: Malcolm Young Of AC/DC.

    I was born in '72 and everyone I know of in my generation loved/liked/tolerated AC/DC. To one extent or another, they were a soundtrack to our "growing up" years. Those guys rocked. I will always have a soft-spot for their music

    Pipes And Cigars.... Wish Me Luck

    I like P&C. The only time I had a problem (during their big software upgrade/mess) I called and a very helpful customer service rep took care of everything and got my order sent out.

    New Meer Pipe

    Nice! A gargoyle is one of the very few figural meers which has interested me. I can't wait to see how that guy colors. Enjoy

    What Is That Smell/Taste?

    THIS. Tobacco and potables are very different. BTW. I used to teach beer brewing and even ran a home-brew shop for a while. Don't use bleach. It serves for a time, but leaves a residue which will build up. Use an acid sanitizer like Five Star, or something else that uses Benzenesulfonic...

    Any Chess Players?

    I enjoy playing quite a bit. My 11 year old has progressed to the point where he kicks my butt. Proud and shamed at the same time. :oops:

    What Do I Like About Nightcap?

    I think mso489 really put it best with the observation of strength and balance. It is definitely latakia forward with a decent nic hit and a hint of perique spiciness, but the flavor balance in this blend is real artistry.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2017 Thread!

    42. Nice! I can't wait to get started. It's fun to stalk research one's victim giftee and share something you think they'll like.

    Quiet Nights....Finally!

    Quiet Nights is a good one! I'm a fan of GLP in general, but that one is silky smooth with a nice nip of spice occasionally coming through. A seemingly impossible and contradictory combo, but he really pulled it off. Gaslight is also good, the best way I can describe that one is smokey...
