    I learned something new today, thanks!

    Mac Baren Stockton 2024

    I enjoy vanilla roll cake. It's aromatic enough to have flavor for the smoker and a pleasant scent for an audience without sledge hammering either party with artificial flavoring. An added benefit, to my mind at least, is in the coin cut. It can be a very long lasting, sipping experience. Most...

    The Benefits of Having Children

    I, also am heartened to hear the reasons those of you taking parenting on are taking it seriously and finding reward in it. I'm not against the existence of children in the world, I just positively don't want any of them to be mine.

    The Benefits of Having Children

    He may have and I just don't remember. It was half a lifetime ago. Regardless, I have not been checking since the first one a month or so after the procedure.

    The Benefits of Having Children

    Well, either we've stumbled upon the reason I don't hear about many too folks seeking out Alabama doctors - or - after talking to me, my guy decided to do a double knot.

    The Benefits of Having Children

    I come from the extreme other side of this. I am so sure that I don't want kids that I got a vasectomy in my 20's. I'm 50 now and I'm comfortable saying that having kids or not is a huge social sorting mechanism. Whatever you actually think of the people in your life because of your children...

    Neal Stephenson.

    It's from 15 year old interviews now, but I think he just refers to himself as an author of fiction. It's the publishers and booksellers who pigeon hole all his works based on a couple of earlier, popular, genre pieces. About the spaceship - It's clear to me that Mr. Stephenson does his...

    Neal Stephenson.

    Some of his works are more successful than others at getting the balance right between story telling and explaining. Anathem is the best culture/world-building "hard" science fiction _I've_ read, but I have hardly done an exhaustive tour of the genre. Cryptonomicon is a great and complex story...

    Malty Virginia Recommendations and Chenet’s Cake Opinions

    If you can get Germain's blends where you are I would suggest Rich Dark Flake.

    Neal Stephenson.

    Definitely a top 5 author for me. Anathem is one of my all time favorite works.

    Sammy Davis Jr. Doesn't Get Enough Respect.

    PBS did a pretty exhaustive documentary about him about 7-8 years ago. It's an intriguing story.

    B&M's in Washington, DC

    If you're going to be anywhere near Foggy Bottom, Georgetown Tobacconist has pipes, tins, store blends, and a great staff. Though there is no "Lounge", you can smoke in there. If you'll be downtown, closer to the capitol, there's the historic W Curtis Draper's - Americas third oldest...

    The UPCA is going to Poland!!

    2 hours, 26 minutes, 26 seconds was the winning time. With theee grams of tobacco and two wooden matches. Insane. https://cipc.pipeclubs.com/world-cup-poznan-2024/

    What are You Reading Now?

    I've been reading and re-reading a lot of the Cosmere books by Brandon Sanderson, ahead of the release of the fifth book of the Storm light Archive on Dec 6. It's really the only fantasy series I've ever gotten into to this degree, but -jeez- _anything_ to avoid the news these days...

    The UPCA is going to Poland!!

    Figured I would add to this thread instead of starting a new one. The contest starts tomorrow at 2pm Poznan, Poland time (7am Central in the US). You can read all about it and possibly follow it live-ish here. The U.S.A. team features North American slow smoke champion @lestrout and my wife...

    "Mature Virginia" Rope?

    I've had Wessex Curly Block. It's neither of this flavor profile nor a rope. I appreciate the recommendation, though. Let me open up the question a little: are there other producers of ropes besides G&H whose offerings I can search through?

    "Mature Virginia" Rope?

    I kind of assumed G&H as the manufacturer. But of their offerings I've only had whisky twist and black Irish x. Both of which are fine tobaccos, but neither is of the "dark vingina" family.

    "Mature Virginia" Rope?

    I really enjoy Germain's Rich Dark Flake - when I can get it. Wessex Campaign, Astley's No 44, etc. Curious if there is a rope available with more or less the same "mature/dark virginias" components?
