    RIP Chick Corea. 1941-2021

    No shit...wow. I saw him with Al Di Meola and Stanley Clark way back when, a concert I'll never forget. With this American Idol culture, we'll never see talent like these, Bowie, Reed, etc., ever again.

    Tien Len, Cribbage and Backgammon...What's Next?

    Damn...long time since I've heard that word, Cribbage...used to sit with my old man and play that all the time when i was a kid...what memories. No one to play it with now, younger generations have no interest in it...oh well, shit changes.

    Hello from Asheville

    Jeff by the way; I don't take personal offense to anything, never have, frankly, because I have never given a crap what people think of me...and I've lived a very nice peaceful existence because of it. Sorry if you took offense, didn't mean it like that at all. I should put a line at the bottom...

    Hello from Asheville

    I completely understand, that's why I was taken aback when you became offended. One thing I even left the forum for over the summer was because of members like @jpmcwjr that seem to think everyone does things their way, and their way is the only way, and that's simply not true. For him to say...

    Hello from Asheville

    Just because anyone that does anything differently and members like you pile on and call them names like idiots, doesn't mean there aren't a lot of us out there that simply don't want to go through the ridicule...me, on the other hand, couldn't give a rats ass what other members (like you) say.

    The Future Pipe Smokers Of The Internet

    The Future Pipe Smokers Of The Internet

    I agree. Coming from someone that views pipes mostly as utilitarian devices and have never owned more than probably 15 at a time (and lose or break probably 3 or 4 a year), the advent of the internet, in my opinion, has led to collections growing much larger. Back when I was growing up, my...

    Does Anyone Layer Anymore?

    Right on man! LOL One man's junk is another man's treasure! ?

    Does Anyone Layer Anymore?

    To me, Old Dark Fired is like the mud on the floor of a porta john...hard for me to imagine anything good coming from layering it with anything else. There are a lot of people that like ODF for sure, but still, not sure if it could/should/would go with anything else.

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    Reds are a strange beast for sure; it's nearly all I smoke nowadays, but they can be very inconsistent across harvests--not like burleys which seem to be more consistent year after year.

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    Great points, all of them. As an aside, a PH scale is logarithmic, so each point difference is 10 times more (or less) acidic.

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    LOL. I've been smoking straight VA's for nearly 40 year now, if I ever hit that wall, I'll peacefully retire to the mountains of Peru and live my life with ancestors of the Incans...

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    Could be; I don't generally get bite from higher sugar though, not in plain tobaccos like Bright leaf; I generally get it from a more acidic/peppery angle. Everyone's body chemistry is different though and it changes over time...

    Hello from Asheville

    This is a public forum, I don't know how else I could have corrected it puffy

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    Increased use of box barns maybe? Less air flow, sharper bite. Less sweet. I have noticed that plain reds especially have become more peppery...just a thought...

    My freaking god man! It's huge!

    Hello from Asheville

    This is what a lot of us do: A - We don't dry our tobacco B - We start with something quality but straight such a good straight bright leaf Virginia C - We puff D - We enjoy the ride There are many ways to enjoy a pipe, don't get bogged down into one way on here; many think there is only one way...

    Does Anyone Layer Anymore?

    Sometimes you get that with a stronger aromatic...the smoke simply pulling down through the aromatic will flavor it somewhat.

    Does Anyone Layer Anymore?

    I'll be honest with you, more often than not over the years I've layered and simply not gotten what I was expecting to get...so you may end up with a few bowls that you dump, but sometimes you get that one that really hits home. And, it's something different and doesn't require all of the effort...
