    Heartbreak Hotel (Title Added by Bob)

    Man. Seriously sometimes I wonder why they even drop off packages in that condition. There should be a way the shipping companies can handle this before it arrives to the customer. I mean, who wants to receive a package like this? No one of course! I digress. That sucks man, hopefully it...

    Flying Dutchman, slurping a green tea after a little walk.

    ? Yes they will will create their own seal.

    Ball Jar Lid Lifespan

    Agreed with Barrel proof ball jars and lids are designed for preserving food, pickles, jams and the like. Most of which have high acid content. Not really the same concern with tobacco. The rubber seal on the jars should not deteriorate under dry conditions for quite a long time. Sometimes the...

    Chatham Manor in this acorn cob. Good smoker if you're interested in the devil anse/cutty shapes and enjoy a cob.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    Peagus in a cob, with a strong black coffee. I lost count while adding scoops of coffee to the percolator. This will put hair on your tongue!

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    After dinner PA in a cob, about to settle in with a little reading to close out the night.

    Corn Cobs

    No worries, I can see the confusion with the coffee grounds.

    Corn Cobs

    Not wet grounds. Not as for say trying to "clean" a briar estate pipe of ghost. No cleaning involved, except your normal method of cleaning. Simple put fresh dry ground coffee in the chamber, let it sit over night, dump the next day. The dry coffee will absorb any moisture in the bowl or sour...

    That's nice man!

    Corn Cobs

    If you ever get a little funk in your cob, fill the chamber with fresh ground coffee after general cleaning. Leave it overnight, fresh as can be in the morning. Not even a faint ghost.

    Haunted bookshop in a Willard. Trying to watch some stars, but nothing but clouds...?

    Hot Bowl

    As Embers says, pack lighter and really moist tobacco doesn't burn well. Some relighting is normal, don't stress about that.

    Hot Bowl

    Yes as Ray said puffing to fast. Think slow, wisps of smoke, just keeping it going, not stoking a furnace. More flavor, less heat.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    Field & Stream match in a Grabow Viscount. I never smoked the original, but I enjoy the Sutliff match. It benefits from a little air time.

    Corn Cobs

    Come on...Not one cob? Not even on a hot, sweaty, humid, day kicking around in the yard? ?

    Corn Cobs

    I like that char on the rim.

    Corn Cobs

    Haha! Let me rephrase. In most cases for someone's first cob.

    Help Me Coin a Term

    It sounds like a line from a melodrama. Just utter that phrase to a lamp in a dimly lit room, with the faint sounds of sirens from a nearby window. Then storm out of the room dramatically.
