    Filtered Pipes

    Practicality says that filtered pipes smoke the same without the filter, with or without the adaptor. But I reject a filtered pipe because however small, the draft must be affected by it. Because any typical barbarian like me cannot detect a difference doesn't change the impediment of the...

    Tell you what. The smart thing to do would be for us to decide that ending the dispute would be best. Fighting is unpleasant and solves nothing. All that is necessary is for you to return to your corner and me to mine. This is not defeat but wisdom.

    Thank you. I've not been praised as you have done though its energy bespeaks reaction formation. Sorry to offend any of you. My disgust with Christianity has gotten out of hand. There are things to like about it. Recently I was taken by the Sacred Heart, whose definition as God's passionate...

    Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" In-Stock

    I bought 3 lbs from Percy Martin and proceeded to rid it of stems. After about 6 hours work I had cleaned maybe 3 ozs. I cut my losses and stopped.

    The less I say about Christianity the better.

    Hilarious! Who'd a thought a connection between Old Sparky and my frying racket!

    Fried Flies

    I like the play on words, "bug-a-salt /assault", and for what better reason to loose such terror on nefarious insects or any other invaders threatening my bbq? "Died Defending His BBQ": what better epitaph? Usually epitaphs celebrate a relationship with a dog (no, not his wife) swimming prowess...

    Fried Flies

    My apartment has been infested with breeding flies. Kill a dozen and they're right back atcha. But no worries. I have at my disposal an electrocuting fly swatter that looks like a tennis racket, the webbing replaced by metal-transmitting electricity. Touch it when the switch is on and you get a...

    Jim's Sutliff 2021 Cringle Flake Review.

    "Stomped grapes" is certainly evocative:)

    Peterson System Gurgling

    Although yes, truly, badmouthing, but not a career, featuring unsubstantiated accusations. One cannot make a case for the efficaciousness of Peterson's quality control but instead for its nonexistence. Now if your process can use some fine-tuning, so what? Poor performance is a hallmark of...

    I ordered the book tonight along with the entirety of the Discourses and his Tiffin Lectures also written the 20s.

    Carolina Red Flake w/ Perique 2021 First Thoughts

    I was sold on aging early on, but because I aged in quantity, most of what I aged I never smoked. Had I been able to keep smoking I would have addressed that, but unforeseen conditions in the future intervened. That's what the future does. Say you put by 5 lbs. each of FVF and BB. How can you...

    Meerschaum cleaning hot water rinse?

    Didn't the Roman use cobs to clean up after using that plank with the strategic hole, or was that the American colonists? Tsk tsk: where did 2000 years go? My reply: I've given you the principle; why do you belabor the details?

    What are You Reading Now?

    Meher Baba had a book hidden from the public. Nobody knew where or by whom or if it would ever be published, but it was put out that it would be published at the right time. I didn't know but a two-volume work was published in 2005, 775 pages, called Infinite Intelligence, which I take it is...

    Pegasus: Love for One Blend

    If I still smoked I'd smoke Pegasus.
