    Flavoring in Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged?

    I don't know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that the flavoring was way too strong for me right out of the tin. I took the block of wood out and let the tobacco sit in the tin until it was fairly dry, at which point the flavoring had dissipated to the point that it was an...

    Easiest (Best?) Way to Cook Bacon

    Electric skillet, precursor to the microwave. Just set the dial to the recommended temperature for bacon (written on the handle) and it's perfect every time. Pretty quick too. Once it's done, eggs fried in the bacon grease are great. The lid keeps the grease contained and the nonstick surface...

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2025

    Grateful Dead Europe '72 - The Complete Recordings. The whole freaking thing on Spotify. Wish that I'd had the brains to buy it back in 2011. I'm currently up to Volume 8. Here's the Wikipedia link: Europe_'72:_The_Complete_Recordings

    I'm confused about the difference between casing and cavendish.

    A friend of mine sent me this link to a companion book by the same author. Both are excellent. https://fairtradetobacco.com/threads/book-ninety-more-pipe-blends-download-free-book.11103/

    Favorite Whole Album

    For fans of the Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization (and Bill Evans). Big influence on the development of modal jazz, including Miles Davis and Kind of Blue.

    How Many Open Blends?

    Approaching 100, but only around 6 that I hit on a regular basis. The rest I view like a library, always there for reference with certain ones going in and out of favor over time. The variety of tobacco is one of the things that I like about pipe smoking.

    Big Chief Electric Smoker Any Good?

    I have a Little Chief. Probably had it for 35 years and it still works great. I just use it for smoking salmon. It doesn't perform well in cold, wet weather. You also have to use their proprietary shredded wood. I also have a Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill water smoker that apparently isn't made any...

    Excise Tax on Pipe Tobacco Shipments to Colorado

    Thanks. What seems odd to me is that, if this has been in effect since 2020, it has taken until now to show up on any online retailer's calculation of total purchase price. I guess that I should just shut up and be thankful that it has taken this long.

    Excise Tax on Pipe Tobacco Shipments to Colorado

    The search I did only found references to a cigarette excise tax that went into effect in 2020. If you have a link to what you found could you post it here? Thanks

    Excise Tax on Pipe Tobacco Shipments to Colorado

    I just had P&C try to charge me an excise tax on a pipe tobacco order to be shipped to Colorado. I've never had an online retailer attempt to collect an excise tax on a pipe tobacco order that was being shipped to Colorado, nor did a quick internet search yield any support/requirement for doing...

    Jim's Comic Book Interview, Sept. 19.

    Wish I would have seen this earlier, was only able to catch the last 15 minutes or so which was great! Will this be available to replay at some point?

    Briar Books Press

    Gary informed a friend of mine last month that the balance of his inventory had been remaindered to the pulper, apparently meaning that the remaining stock of all Briar Books Press books has been disposed of.

    Double Bowl Cooke Pipe on Ebay, Wow!

    If it is legitimately a Jim Cooke pipe, the "E" is actually an and sign with the "D" being his ex-wife Deb.

    Anyone Smoked a "carburated" pipe?

    Same here. I have a pre-1938 one that smokes well, not hot at all. I'm also in the camp that likes the stingers in the older Kaywoodies (this one has the big ball version).

    Rain - Love or Hate?

    Love a good thunderstorm with lightning that stays in the sky, or at least not striking near me. Hate hail and flooding. So there's a balance and a line that I don't like to see crossed.
