    Ripley, Netflix I can't get over the photography in this rather long series which I just finished. Yes, it could have been shorter, but camera work kept me enthralled. The story is pretty darn good as well. 5/5

    Maintaining Vulcanite Stems in Canada!

    Such items not limited to Canada! Most hardware stores sell a similar (or same) product, some big chains as well. Mineral oil is even more widely available...

    Turns Out I Was Packing Too Loose

    Yes indeed. This on top of the variables in tobacco cut, size of cut, moisture content of the tobacco, how tightly packed, and ambient humidity.

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    I'll concede that eating Key Lime pie in the Florida Keys is sublime. And terroir matters! :)

    What Foodstuffs Best Define the Place Where You Live?

    As I said, Key Limes are ubiquitous. More in Mexico than the Keys could ever support. You don't have to be in the Keys to have real Key Lime pie. I earlier agreed with you that some places may serve it under false ingredients. And the real thing is delicious.

    I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

    Could you not do so, starting with a hi Rez digital file? Photoshop and Lightroom offer all that a genius with darkroom experience can do. Of course, missing is the wonder of a print in developer, the peace and sanctity of the darkroom.... Both the above apps can go far beyond what a wet...

    Rigid Black Char Forcing Harder Tamping Pressure?

    I pretty much do not tamp ash, unless it's just a light cover. In all cases, a light touch. And, I almost always draw while tamping when lit. If it's gone out for some minutes, I'll use my finger for a better feel on a light tamp. Enjoy!
