    We Are So Screwed

    According to one global data set, the US just took the number one spot for the most cases, beating out China and Italy who have been number one and two respectively. Interesting days.

    Weighing Up COVID-19 And Smoking

    I took the decision yesterday to press pause. It won’t be a big climb down because I did not smoke much the last couple of months due to weather. I don’t know how long I will pause, so it may be several days, weeks, etc... one day at a time. I look forward to the day when we see this virus in...

    New Rossi 8614 and Some Tower Bridge

    Nice! I have found Rossi pipes to be great.

    Screwed, We Are Not So / a.k.a France to the Rescue

    Yeah, there have been some reports since Friday of last week of it helping and others saying it isn't. Speculation has spread enough that people are buying this up and pharmacies are running out. If this isn't it, I am hopeful that there will be a breakthrough like this with some existing...

    Room Notes And Self Quarantine: The Learning Curve

    My mrs generally likes aromatics and vas. Everything else not so much. Problem is she has allergies and is very sensitive to scents, so her aversion is not just a Latakia or English tobacco thing. So no smoking in the house! I plan to build a man cave at some point.

    Smokingpipes Savinelli 20th Anniversary 320 KS

    Makes you wonder if the marketeers at SP see their emails a bit like fishing with a lure... let's toss this one out and see how many strikes we get! Sadly, I fall for some of their stuff all the time!

    My First Trip into HH Old Dark Fired

    MacBaren's venerable HH Old Dark Fired (ODF) has been on my tobacco bucket list for a while. A couple of weeks ago before things got nuts with the virus I went to a B & M that I had not been to before and in touring their stock I saw the flake version, so I naturally could not resist taking it...

    ***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

    Nice! I’ve got my eye on how you are mixing your blends!

    ***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

    After some great input from my fellow pipe smokers, I finally got around to firing up my first bowl of HH Old Dark Fired. Great smoke! Will post some first impressions!

    We Are So Screwed

    This is encouraging that 3M had the ability to scale up that way and I think we are going to see this across the board. Two key metrics to keep an eye on is ICU beds and ventilators. In the UK they have about 8,000 ventilators, which are already largely in use. If the UK follows anything like...

    We Are So Screwed

    I think while we all need to take stock in how serious this could become (study the Spanish flu of 1918) and each do our part(s), there are a heck of a lot of people working on this all over the world. It could even be discovered any day now that existing protocols, drugs and treatments could...

    STRESS!!!

    I am hopeful we will avert a 1918 type of impact, at least in some parts of the world. The mobilization of resources in the last few weeks is impressive, but we will have some pain. My friends in Switzerland and Italy already feel it where their case rates are nearing 1,000 per million and are...

    STRESS!!!

    In my search and rescue training one of the major factors in those who survive and those who don’t is being able to look adversity in the face and having a ‘can do attitude’. So in addition to trying to make as many good informed decisions on how I will live right now, I am taking advantage of...

    Weighing Up COVID-19 And Smoking

    I am certainly not afraid. Making the best decisions based on the best information available is the goal.

    Weighing Up COVID-19 And Smoking

    This makes a lot of sense! well written. The only caveat is that I was thinking of what can I do to strengthen my immune system and does smoking have an impact or not.

    Damn it!

    I think you will need to work on your technique!

    We Are So Screwed

    I have been reading a bit that is being published on the genetic sequencing on this. Time will tell and this is not my field of study, but theory that the origins of thus comes from two strains in animals is very interesting...

    We Are So Screwed

    I think some caution is merited. I have friends in Switzerland and Italy where this is really giving their small countries a lot of pain on top of their usual health Issues. Yesterday in Italy there were 6557 new cases and 793 new deaths. If this is spin, it will come out over time. If it isn’t...

    Anybody On Here Actually Had The Coronavirus?

    Just found out a friend has it. Have not seen him since December, so I don’t have a concern about exposure from him, but I am certainly concerned about him!
