    Newby News - Various VaPer’s

    Definitely let Stonehenge dry out. Helps if you pull the flakes apart slightly... Sounds like your making good progress!

    Well, that's just horrible.

    The Most Famous Tacos in the World... and My Achilles Heel

    It's the ONLY thing I eat from Jack in the Box. Like I said, I don't eat them because they're good. I'd be first in line with you for REAL tacos! It's mysteriously twisted... the want and need for JITB tacos... like I said, it's just a sad addiction. But after drinking, and you only got $5...

    Real Leather Pipe Pouch?

    I used to find them on Ebay quite regularly. SPC has some I believe

    Carrots

    Love carrots of any color. Must have for any good stew or soup. The French knew this... essential part of Mirepoix.

    The Most Famous Tacos in the World... and My Achilles Heel

    Oh man I LOVE taco trucks! I stop at those often. But their getting more expensive these days unfortunately.

    The Most Famous Tacos in the World... and My Achilles Heel

    This is true. Jack in the Box places here stay open 24hrs, so lot's of people buy them after hours. It's not that they taste great at all, there just ok. It's all about the mouth feel. They put a mushy concoction of meat and a tiny piece of american cheese in a corn tortillia, clamp them up in a...

    I love it! Perfect space saver. And it looks very functional.

    The Most Famous Tacos in the World... and My Achilles Heel

    Nobody wants to know what's in them. They look sad and repulsive, and they're dirt cheap. From a self-subscribed Foodies point of view, they should never be bought, eaten or discussed. Never-the-less, there is an average of approximately 1,517,808. of them made sold and eaten every single day...

    Good Smoker vs. Bad Smoker

    I'm no expert, but I suspect that the briar in pipes considered "green" were not aged and cooked long enough. I have myself experienced pipes that were made with green briar and it's not a pleasant smoke. It's hot, wet, and sappy. I suspect the pipe maker was not aware of the ageing of the briar...

    Good Smoker vs. Bad Smoker

    IMHO they're all good unless they're not, and for a variety of reasons. I bought a couple of nose warmers from a pipe maker 7 or 8 years ago that were made with green briar. The taste and sappiness was so bad even after 6 or 7 bowls I couldn't stand it. Sold them. They were bad pipes IMO. I...

    Golden Sliced Secret Sauce

    Well, I've only smoked it recently for the first time. Tins were made in 2021. Perhaps they've tamed it down. Or my taste buds are getting old lol.

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    These are much much quieter than bathroom ventilation fans! Like I said, I can barely hear them while standing right in front of them. In addition, I didn't want to block the crack at the bottom of the room door. I want the air to move into my room via the cracks and out of my room via the fans...

    Golden Sliced Secret Sauce

    I may be alone here, but I've never noticed the slightest hint of Lakeland essence in Stonehenge. I've heard some others say they do, but I don't. In addition, the description as stated in Pipe Tobacco Reviews makes no mention of a Lakeland type topping or casing of any kind, but rather a...

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    For anyone who is interested in ordering these from Amazon, I just noticed that the product dimension and description for the gang of 4 is incorrect. It appears they copy and pasted the info for the gang of 2. Just double the length for the gang of 2 for correct length dimension.

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    I might have exaggerated a bit. The winters can be quite nice actually, but generally too cold for me to want to sit outside and smoke a bowl. The summers are hot and humid and start in April, May and seems like they last forever. I guess I just like sitting inside with my coffee or a drink and...
