Hello from Cornwall UK
Welcome from Newfoundland. Surprisingly I’m just wasting time on my phone waiting for a tray of pasties to finish cooking and telling the kids about Cornish miners from last century. Enjoy your well aged tobacco.- Casual

PayPal Payment Changes
And I’ve made hundreds of purchases using G&S and never used the buyer protection to screw a seller. The complaints both sides are making are not against the honest. They’re against the dishonest who use buyer protection (G&S) or the lack of it (F&F) to screw someone else on the transaction...- Casual

PayPal Payment Changes
It sounds to me like people would appreciate a fast, fair, and relatively inexpensive small claims court for online purchase contracts. I don’t think such a thing exists. Both eBay and PayPal have tried and it seems like they‘ve been unable to do it properly.- Casual

PayPal Payment Changes
A seller saying “F&F only” has always read to me as, “I want to be able to screw the buyer without any repercussions.” Because if it was just about the few extra bucks, he’d have added it to the price.- Casual

Lighter Full-sized Pipes
I prefer a light straight pipe to the seriously bent kind, but they’re relatively hard to find. This 18g Castello has walls that border on too thin, but is otherwise excellent. What I really want is a 1 oz straight billiard, a little short at 5.25”, but with normal thickness walls and a good...- Casual

Trading Value for Tobacco in a Doomsday Scenario.
Serious answer: Value is different for every person, and different for the same person in different circumstances. There is no single answer to your question. A person dying in the desert will pay more for a bottle of water than someone with a ready supply. Even more serious answer: one...- Casual

Bizarre Discovery of the Day
Right after the advent of the iPhone, in winter, everyone discovered that gloves don’t work on the screens. In South Korea, they quickly took to carrying breakfast sausages to use as a stylus.- Casual

Wind Cap and Packing Pressure
I’m not sure this is true. If it allows far more air volume through than the stem or the packed chamber, would It really add any noticeable resistance?- Casual

Pot versus Bulldog/Rhodesian
I’ve wondered about this. I hear lots of people like Virginia flakes in tall, thin chambers, but maybe they’re the type to light the whole top into a big ember. I always get a small ember in the middle that bores a hole down to the bottom.- Casual

Pot versus Bulldog/Rhodesian
Squat bent bulldogs/rhodesians look great, but I find pots fit far better in the hand. And a pot with really thick walls, like a barling, is a joy to hold.- Casual
