    Carolina Red Flake With Perique 2021 Info

    Just got my two tins, and opened one. It's smooth with a nice, interesting taste.

    Why Associate Pipes and the Ocean?

    The idea of the pipe-smoking sailor is classic. But presumably this association isn't mere historical accident, and there is some reason why pipe-smokers are led to the water, and those who sail are led to pipe-smoking. What do you think is the association between pipes and the ocean, or pipes...

    This is a really good series. Farrell does very well.

    Lighters vs Matches

    That sounds good. I might buy one after all. Thanks!

    Lighters vs Matches

    Matches, for the same reasons given by others: cooler flame saves the taste and the tongue. I also find the flame easier to control--to avoid charring the bowl, and to get the flame to the tobacco when the bowl is half or less full--than with a bic. And I don't see myself spending the money on...

    Eggs: Which Way?

    I eat eggs for breakfast every day. Over-well is my favorite. But eggs are great most ways.

    Olfactory Smokers

    I retrohale at least 85% of the time, as I taste little or nothing of the smoke on my tongue.

    First Tobacco You Bought?

    Sutliff Vanilla Custard and Lane 1Q. I don't smoke them. Aromatics of this kind don't appeal to me.

    Love at First Smoke?

    Tobacco is good. But meat is infinitely better.

    Love at First Smoke?

    Karam-- You avoid smoking these favorites every day because of a concern that you'll grow to dislike them?

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Started this on your recommendation. Just finished ep. 2. Great show. Would love to know of any similar shows, with grisly men in a grisly environment, etc.

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Speaking of Eastwood: I Watched Gran Torino for the 3rd(?) time last night. If you haven't seen it, you need to watch it yesterday. Touching story, I would say, about Fatherhood. About the beauty and the deep instinct to positively influence others, to set them on the right path. And of course...

    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Like I said, I have these thoughts too. It all seems very bizarre. I was especially skeptical of the caps thing. But the point is that if Leroy is a troll, then he's wasting his time and deserves pity more than disdain. And if he isn't, he's at worst a curiosity.

    WHAT HAPPENED?

    That possibility didn't occur to me. It'd be a damn waste of time to troll a pipe forum of all things.
