    Mike Tyson is the best.

    What are You Watching, 2022? Rating [*/5]

    The first king (2019). An Italian movie about the story of Remus and Romulus. Somewhat gritty style. Watch if you like all those epic movies about Ancient Rome or Greece. Very good. 5/5

    I.P.S.D. Sales - How dysfunctional Were You?

    I’d like some more Pegasus. And will need more pipe cleaners soon. But, I’ve got so much tobacco that I’m reluctant to order 95+ dollars worth.

    My 15 Year Old is Losing His Hair!

    I started losing my hair around 15 or 16. A diffuse loss, as opposed merely to a receding hair line. I had medium-long hair. I was terribly upset for a time. But, my hair loss is very slow. I buzzed my head for close to decade, but since then have kept it longer but short. An adolescent man...

    Do these Tobaccos Represent their Category Enough to Make Judgements?

    I agree with frozenchurchwarden, that plum pudding and nightcap are different enough to try both. But an answer to your question depends on precisely what you didn’t liked or didn’t like about the blends you’ve tried. If for example it’s the heaviness, the dark flavors of the English blends that...

    SmokingPipes Down?

    It’s probably on account of the gawith and hoggarth just restocked.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***

    Circled back today to some blends that have been sitting around. Small quantities of tobacco in my cellar that I’ve neglected. ODF: good, very interesting, and reaffirms my love for Mac Baren in general. Bayou morning: holy perique; too much for me. White knight: not my style.

    Everyone Looking Forward To Reacher?

    I’ve been watching. It’s pretty good. I like this sort of show and character. I enjoyed the Cruise movies, too; I haven’t read the books, so I’m not attached to the idea of Reacher as a big guy.

    Dark Theme?

    Seems not. I’d appreciate the option, though.

    Sutliff Virginia Slices #507-C

    The 2.5lbs I received from P&C is dark brown, as opposed to the light, hay yellow-brown of fresh VA slices. I assume it’s age, but to have changed color so much it must be at least a year of age. However old, if it is just aged VA slices, then I prefer it fresh. I might’ve just been sent the...

    Sutliff Virginia Slices #507-C

    Have you got anything to report yet, ashdigger? I’ve grown to like this blend recently. I’m receiving another two and a half pounds today, and I’m curious how it ages.

    Smoking unfinished bowl next day (or two)

    The taste is virtually always bad for me, even after a few hours.

    Newbie question about pipe

    That’s a clean chamber. Especially if you keep cleaning it consistently—water flush and/or paper towel—you won’t need to ream for a very long time if ever.

    Throw out Disgusting Tobacco?

    Many readily throw out tobacco, and even pipes, they don’t like. Many don’t. Nobody can decide for you. I would put it in a plastic bag and try it again months later.

    Orlik Golden Slices is Sold Out in all the Usual Places, Should I Be Worried?

    OGS is great, and will be one of those great classics if it’ll be discontinued. I just received 15 100g tins from 4noggins. They’ve got ~250 more in stock. Mine are 9/21 production.
