    Help Me Out Here...re: Escudo Navy Deluxe

    I second the empty stomach being a main culprit. Per an STG rep, Escudo maintains (and has always had) a 16% Perique content, as well as African Virginias, which accounts for the hearty nicotine dose; of course a lot of how this affects you depends on your particular body chemistry at the moment...

    Mason jar alternatives

    Mason jars *are* the alternative. If you're looking toward long-term storage, hermetically sealable glass is the only way to go.

    Samuel Gawith Chocolate Flake Pipe Tobacco Review

    Excellent review as well as a peek behind the curtain, Adam. Reminds me I still have to send you my notes from our last experiment. Cheers!

    John Cotton Throwdown Winner Now Available

    I said it in my article and I wasn't bullshitting engaging in hyperbole for the sake of prose; I'm ordering some of this ASAP. It was a great smoke, perfect for summertime backyards, a tall glass of sweet tea, and soaking up the indolence.

    Smoke and Drinks Analogy

    I for one enjoyed the analogies, Carlos, and would also add Kevin's bold assessment of hookah being the wine coolers of the tobacco world (though there's quite a difference in the Western approach and the Middle- and Far-Eastern approaches) :lol: And while we're on the subject, here's a couple...

    NYPC Hell's Kitchen - Hells Bells!

    I have yet to try the Sextant, it's at the top of my TAD list. I hate to admit it, but that Pease character hasn't made a blend yet that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed (and cellared). That being said, the NYPC is undoubtedly better :lol:

    Dodged a $500.00 Vet Bill

    Yes, 5 cc--ask the vet for a small syringe (minus the needle); it makes it super easy to open their maw and inject the vinegar down their throats. Sounds barbaric, but it's much easier than letting them taste it. I'm confused that your vet says opening the urethra is a problem; from what you've...

    NEW - New York Pipe Club Tobacco Blends - Exclusive!

    Glad to see these are sticking with some of y'all! Anyone else?

    NYPC Hell's Kitchen - Hells Bells!

    Yeah that Dark Fired sure adds some intrigue to it! This was perhaps the most labored over of the blends during the prototype phase--after all, it's a pretty broad genre, and difficult to keep from throwing in everything but the kitchen sink while constructing a distinct flavor. The blend...

    What Are You Smoking? May 2012

    How you liking that Bedloe's Island, dragon? I hear it's good stuff! :lol: I'm still waiting for my first order of it to be picked up from my office in Joisey. So tonight it's Quiet Nights in the Tim West freehand. My first smoke of this stuff, and the preliminary report is that it's damn good.

    Dodged a $500.00 Vet Bill

    I'm in the same boat with my oldest cat, ns--the ACV is a helpful maintenance and emergency treatment, but do be careful about overdoing it--no more than 10-20cc/day. I'd definitely recommend seeking out a vet that takes a holistic approach; I'm fortunate to have a great one that is also a...

    Wholesomely Disturbing

    Yeah, it truly is an absurd time we're living in. Lots of folks mad as hell, and the ice is starting to crack. 8O

    My Pipe Collection

    Good to see such a nice collection lovingly attended! You'll be able to pass every one of those on to the next generation of smokers (or use them as black market gold, depending on if the doomsayers are correct :lol: ).
