    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    Nebraska/Midwest USofA: Chili and cinnamon rolls (expert level if you put the chili on the cinnamon roll) Bierrocks (meat and cabbage mix baked in a bread roll) Runzas (fast food chain equivalent of bierrocks) Fairbury Franks (the only hotdog served at Cornhusker games) Switzel or Haymaker's...

    Savvy Sailors.

    The same here. From my research, the navy flake tradition came from either a) individual seaman soaking their tobacco ration with some of their daily grog ration or b) from plugs and twists being packed into kegs, then rum poured over to help preserve the tobacco on seafaring voyages. I've never...

    AGM Auto Batteries

    Over the course of about the last ten years, I've noticed that most auto manufacturers are selling vehicles with AGM batteries in them. I believe this has a lot to do with the technology in vehicles today. Modern vehicles have many more electronic components in them that, even with the key off...

    Jim's a Comic Book Convention Guest, Nov. 12, in N.C.

    My youngest son is really into Comic Cons and cosplay. We made him a Paz Vizsla cosplay from the Mandolorian. I knew he was going to sweat his rear off in that outfit, so I made him shower before we went, then made he wear dri-fit clothes under it and tons of antiperspirant. It was his first...

    Jim's a Comic Book Convention Guest, Nov. 12, in N.C.

    My beef with Comin Cons is the complete and utter lack of the attendees personal hygiene. I have no idea how adults can care so little for their own person. The smell at every comic con I've attended was.... an unforgettable affront on my senses.

    Vegas Pipe Show 2023 Report

    I had planned to attend, and then two weeks before the show, the company I was going to fly to vegas with, went belly up and I couldn't get a different flight out there without spending an arm and a leg.

    Double Edged Razor Blades

    Although the majority of my face is covered with a beard, I still like to have clean upper cheeks and a clean straight neckline. What I've learned from 20 years of using a straight razor is, not all straight razors are created equally. You really do get what you pay for. I tried a couple of...

    The only one I know of in regular production is 1792 flake, although there may be others.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Cleaned up this meerschuam lined Mastercraft last week and have been waiting for the Renaissance wax to finally stop smelling. Think I will take her for a test drive this morning with some LBF.

    Ghost In a Meerschaum.

    When dealing with ghosts in meerschaum bowls, both block and lined briars, I've had tremendously good success with activated charcoal powder and water. Take the activated charcoal powder and add water to make a paste or slurry with it, then paint the inside of the bowl with it. I usually try to...

    Why Do Aromatics Have a Bad Rap?

    As I sit here having a bowl of The Virginia Cream, it reminds me of what a good aromatic should be, the topping compliments the tobacco not overwhelms it. Now other vanilla offerings and other aromatic offerings for that matter, overpower the tobacco with artifical, chemical flavor, far too many...

    Shooters and Hunters: What's Your Best Ever Distance / Accuracy Personal Record?

    At the gun club I belonged to in Omaha, we had a Swiss rifle league. Mil-surp, iron sight, bolt action rifles out to 600 yards. I wasn't the best shot of the group, but I wasn't the worst also. I was shooting a Mosin Nagant that I bought for a whopping $97. When I bought it, it wouldn't shoot...

    Why Do Aromatics Have a Bad Rap?

    I've had aromatic blends from both. KBV's Chok Lit Pie and Sakura were excellent. The Country Squire's Middle Earth series were, meh for me but still better than 90% of the other aromatics on the market.

    Why Do Aromatics Have a Bad Rap?

    Personally, I am very particular when it comes to smoking aromatics. I've had far too many that tasted like they were made in the storage room of the Christmas tree air freshener factory. Chemical, harsh, etc.

    RIP Matthew Perry (Chandler on Friends)

    Sadly, it appears that those that find themselves in celebrity status wind up going down the path of substance abuse. I am sure that the stress of putting forth a certain persona is tremendous. I wouldn't want it, but I know there are many who long for it. At least his demons have been put to...
