    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Oh man I can't believe I didn't see this thread. Lately I've been playing a bunch of Brighter Shores which was made by the dudes that made RuneScape if any of y'all remember that. I also love playing Cities Skylines but just the original one, the sequel sounded too buggy and I'm waiting for it...

    A pipe in a hot bath

    It's too cold right now but in the summer time I've been known to fill a kiddy pool up with hose water and dump a six pack in there and wallow to beat the summer heat. I should do that with a pipe next summer. It had the bonus effect of my neighbors putting up a privacy fence which saved me...

    Samuel Gawith's Black Twist XX

    I got some on a whim cause I don't mind abusing myself with nicotine but I struggled to keep it lit and after a while gave up and went to try something else. I think my mistake was not shredding it enough and not drying it cause reviews like yours are what drew me to it in the first place.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Pegasus in a little apple. Great blend, great pipe, great night. Smooth and sweet just like I like it.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    First smoke of the year! I'm surprised I only made it two days. C&D Bayou Morning in a La Strada. This is a tasty blend, and it was mild enough to clench as I walk my dog in the bitter cold. Sidenote I really gotta get a garage heater, this shivering and smoking is for the birds.

    Any Homebrewers Around?

    I'm debating doing a dry January but that doesn't mean that I can't brew up something. I think with an extended cold snap predicted I'm gonna do a Vienna Lager, use my cold room to sorta properly lager it. The Christmas Ale was a hit at the family party, by my calculations we drank about two...

    Terrible. Guess I'm gonna have to find something similar to Old Dark Fired, but at least I'm sitting on about a pound. Hopefully C&D has something close. What a bunch of bastards...

    Gurgling v Blowing

    I'll have to try blowing on it, my remedy for a gurgling pipe is to just cover the bowl with my thumb and then fling the bowl 180 degrees from vertical to get any moisture out. It sometimes works and sometimes just puts it out. I'm sure there's a technique thing I'm missing but it isn't...

    You inspired me, I had some more Black House in my Viking Classic as my pot of Split Pea Soup doubles bubbles toils and troubles.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Finished my book and I'm about halfway through a bowl of H&H Black House in my Peterson. Unseasonably warm again so I gotta take advantage, I'm a son of the Midwest so I don't mind the cold but it's much more enjoyable to savor a pipe versus shiver and puff.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    H&H Black House in a Viking Classic. It's nearly 60 degrees fahrenheit out here today so while I should do chores and tidy up around the house I think I'm gonna pack another pipe as soon as this one is done and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. Chores can wait till tomorrow anyhow...

    Having some Pegasus in a Cob before Christmas Eve mass, looking over the sheet music. If I don't post tomrorrow, Merry Christmas to all! And to all a good night!

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Last night I tried some Pegasus in an estate that I tried to restore. I've had the pipe for a while but didn't know what to do until I got a reamer, that bowl was so caked up I couldn't even get my pinky in. I think the pipe needs some more work cause it smoked okay but it didn't taste very...

    What Does BBQ Mean To You?

    I've always felt that barbecue as a verb was to cook something low and slow over woodsmoke, and grilling is hot and fast. Here in Ohio a Barbecue as an event is the same as a cookout, but when I host one there's usually an assortment of smoked meats and a few snacks cause that brisket that I...
