    Life in a nutshell

    I believe, in the long run, it comes down to friendship and love. This is why it can also often seem that "Hell is other people." I add to that "Hell is the impossibility of reason."

    Suggestions Please for a Med/Heavy "Lat" Blend

    C&D Da Vinci has 75% Latakia, according to smokingpipes. I like it. Look also at C&D Byzantium.

    Being Prepared, Everyday Carry

    Certainly, anyone guilty of sedition is an enemy of the state. But this thread is about non-firearm EDC.

    Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides

    I'm incompetent at describing flavor profiles, I've decided. Right now, I'm smoking C&D Da Vinci, and they're similar, if that helps.

    Glass punch and seatbelt cutter - good advise. I'm lacking there.

    Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides

    I just lit up my first ever bowl of Old Ironsides, and I haven't been this excited about a blend since Nightcap. It's a flake, which I generally haven't liked, but in this case I have no choice. I love this blend. Thanks go to Harris, who mentioned it in a thread a month or so ago. I've been...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (September 2015)

    Old Ironsides in Peterson B5 Bent Bulldog. First ever bowl. This is incredible! Absolutely a top tier favorite. Forcing me to revise my opinion on flakes. Damn, this is good.

    Developing Preferences and Criteria

    My first tinned tobacco was Nightcap, and it's been my standard of comparison since. Nothing has tasted better, some as good. In pipes, I favor .80" bowl diameter and larger. My first pipe was a Bent Bulldog, and the next few were straight pipes. Then I got a Bent Dublin and Bent Billiard. I'm...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (September 2015)

    Just cracked open my first tin of C&D Da Vinci. Using my Savinelli KS Bent Dublin which is my favorite pipe. It always gives an honest smoke. "Cyprian Latakia, rough cut Burley and bright Virginia flake. Heavy Latakia." Very pleasurable tobacco.

    Royal Yacht

    Royal Yacht is the only tinned blend (non-OTC) I've tried that I vociferously dislike.

    Being Prepared, Everyday Carry

    Perdurabo - I wanted to focus on the other EDC tools. I was thinking of giving the title Gear Check, ala Nutnfancy, but that would include firearms. There's more to EDC than self-defense.

    An Examination of Headspace in Erinmore Tobacco

    Trivial comment: the title tweaked my interest. Headspace is a term concerning the chamber in a rifle. I couldn't fathom was tobacco headspace might be.

    Being Prepared, Everyday Carry

    On my key ring, I've had one of those screwdriver disks from Sears since the early 1970s. That was useful many times through the years until I got the multitool around 2006 or 07. I also have a handcuff key on the ring.

    Being Prepared, Everyday Carry

    On my belt, everyday, everywhere, I carry a multitool, an LED flashlight, and a cheap TracPhone (I have a smartphone but use that mostly for net access and aps, and don't always have it with me). I also carry a knife in my pocket. A few days ago, the power went out at work for three hours, and I...
