    JR Cigar Catalogs!

    Who remembers the JR Cigar catalog from when Lew Rothman still owned the company? I thought that I had saved some, but apparently not. I recently bought an 1980 copy of Lew’s Cigar Almanac, and it reminded me of his genius sense of humor and salesmanship. The man could sell dog rockets to the...

    The French Conundrum

    I don’t understand the French. My great-grandmother was French. One of my great uncles fought in France in WWI, stayed on in Paris after the war and married a French woman, my wonderful aunt Henriette. As a kid, we had a French car, a Renault R10 and I watched “The French Chef” all the time...

    AI and Tobacco Research

    I'm not a fan of AI and the massive changes it will bring to the world, but positive and negative. I've been highly suspicious of Google AI because, to date, the returns I've been getting were pretty poor. Garbage in, garbage out, that sort of thing. But of late, the AI-generated search results...

    One Pound in a Ball Jar

    What size Ball Jar will hold a pound of ribbon cut? I knew the answer at one time, now…not so much. Is it one quart? I prefer glass to Mylar for tobaccos that get delved into more frequently. The zip seals tend to leak and/or fail with repeated use.

    McClelland 2015

    Prior to it's demise, I put away a sufficient amount of McClelland 2015 VaPer so that I don't have to worry about running out in the next few minutes. I sent a forum member some to try out, and it got me thinking...what it this stuff worth now? I know that a lot of folks balked at paying the...

    Bald Headed Teacher

    While rooting through the cellar today, I came upon a large jar of Bald Headed Teacher from 2013. I must have bought a pound or two at the time, and the jar is now half empty. It was still moist, probably too moist to smoke, but I packed a bowl anyway and puffed away while I did some cleaning...
