    My Pet Peeves.

    That's funny. When we're expecting an inspection at work, I've commented to my boss, "I should probably wear pants that day, huh?"

    Trouble with Flake Tobaccos

    Personally, I rub them out - but not all the way. It depends on the tobacco, but I find that rubbed out a bit leaving some nice chunks works well. This seems to be a good balance between keeping lit and still retaining some of the flake characteristic.

    YAPS

    Nice work nevadablue and davet I have a couple hunks of cured aspen and plum that I wanted to use for stands. I think you inspired me to get motivated.

    Those We Have Loved!

    I admit, with a red face :oops: , you tricked me with that same quote about a year ago. I was sent a sample of Mixture 79 from a fellow forum member, and enjoyed it on it's own merits... but not what I was expecting... BTW what ever happened to Nate?

    Sipper or Puffer?

    Both I prefer the flavor of sipping, but when I find that sweet spot and the flavor becomes unbelievably good, I unconsciously start puffing to get more. Defeats the purpose, and makes the good go away, so I have to actively try to slow myself down. I'm the same with eating... something tastes...

    What Shape is This Radice?

    Thanks Duane. I've always been curious about this one. It definitely has the Italian neo-classical chubby characteristics which made positive ID a bit tough for me.

    What Shape is This Radice?

    I got this pipe used 10 years or so ago and have always called it a bulldog, knowing this is probably inaccurate. Recently, I've seen a lot of discussion about the author shape, and this seems closer. Knowing Radice's "artistic license" with shapes, this could probably fall into more than one...

    Royal Yacht

    I enjoy RY quite a bit. I had never considered smoking it until about a year or so ago, but Brett made me a convert. I don't wax poetic about it like him, but it is an enjoyable blend

    A Can of Worms - Mixing Stuff

    I mix all the time. Once in a while, I have an idea for a blend and mix larger (4oz.) batches that I press & age, but most often I just mix a bowl or 2 at a time. I smoke a mix every few days. Sometimes it's adding some Brown Bogie to an aromatic for a bit more strength with the great room...

    C&D Corncob Pipe and a Button Nose

    I like CCP&aBN as an occasional smoke. I like a lot of "light" aromatics (meaning just a trace of flavor/aroma), but this one and Autumn Evening are very good heavier aros IMHO. C&D seems to do the genre of decent strength aromatic very well.

    What Music Are You Listening To? (November 2017)

    You said it. I always thought of it as more an attitude and pushing conventions more than a musical style. Even though Mr. Lydon would disagree with me, I consider The Ramones to be the first. I once heard a great quote that the early British punk was political rebellion, whereas the early...
