De-Stressing With SPC PP SR - Why I Smoke
I'll admit, I'm not a smoker. I've enjoyed cigars since I was 16 or so (I'm 44 now) and had a pipe for a few years but I've never been a regular smoker. It's been a long few weeks at work and I'm working through the weekend. Lots of stress. I've always known smoking something better as a way...- shanez

Tonight's Match Made In Heaven
Had some friends over for a small Halloween party tonight. I went as a middle class Dracula. Classic cape, vest, and medallion with blue jeans. Genius I know. Backyard grilling at it's finest with ranchera preperada asada, teriyaki chicken, and bacon. Real bacon has grill marks. Potato and...- shanez

Small Ceramic Pipe
Just got this. A little smaller than expected but it looks like it has never been smoked. Need to clean the cap up a bit but other than that it seems cherry: -
Meer Display, Would You?
I'm tempted to get this: The owner is asking $895 though but the real problem is it looks so nice I'm not sure I could open it and smoke them. I've got my eye on a couple of meers though instead. One is a very large sultan that is about 15" in length and the stem is mostly meer as well. The... -
First Bowl Of Burley
Had a bowl of Sutliff Burley Delight #212 which was my first time with a burley and it was fantastic! This stuff has a very noticeable sweetness without being cloying or over the top. The smoke itself seemed light in weight yet still had a richness to it. There was also a noticeable dry...- shanez

Tobacco Plant Vs Process, Is There A Botanist In The House?
I've been trying to sort the confusion of "types", "varieties", "blends", etc. in my mind. It seems tobacco terminology is played fairly fast and loose. I can keep grape varieties fairly straight in my head as there are only a few instances of the same strain of grape having more than one name...- shanez

Glad This Day Is Over
It was actually a pretty decent day until my drive home from work when this happened: Nothing like changing a blowout on the side of the freeway. The only thing that could top it would be this: Not to worry though, I'm self medicating with a glass of this:- shanez

Rescued a Karl Erik This Weekend
Not the best deal ever but not bad either for $34. Found it languishing in an antique store. Passed on the broken Petersen they had for $4. It looks like it should cleanup nicely but will likely still have charring around the rim and 2 small nicks in the wood. I guess this is a Dublin shape... -
Need Help Choosing Toys For My Canon EOS
I have an old Canon EOS Ti that I've had forever and a day and it has been a great camera over the years. I've taken thousands of pictures with it and have a very small handful that I would consider "sellable" for lack of a better term but this is all just for my own amusement. I've wanted to...- shanez

Hooray for Goopy over the Top Rum Soaked Aromatics!
Had a bowl of the bulk "Spiced Rum" stuff I get from the local B&M as the first bowl in my new Savinelli Qandale Rusticated 602. Holy cow did this stuff hit a large sweet spot. Had a good 25 minutes or so where the smoke was nice and cool, no gurgling, and the flavor...well the flavor was nice...- shanez

Looking For Savinelli Milano 606 Orignial Pic
I have a Savinelli de luxe Milano 606 KS I'm working on restoring and I'm not entirely sure the stem is original. I was wondering if anyone had a picture of what it might have looked like originally to compare to. Here's mine: I don't really have any reason to believe it's not the original...- shanez
