    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    I am. :ROFLMAO: But yes, you're right. It does help to have some sense of awareness of the tactics used to reel consumers in. Awareness notwithstanding, I'm a sucker for free shipping any way you slice it! :)

    The Tobacco Purge — Why?

    Who knew playing the victim card could take so much of the sting out of TAD? 😎

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Had Cult Anonymous in a La Rocca Due bent billiard in the workspace. I can see why this one was discontinued... ...because I enjoy it. 8.8/10 Bird report: California scrub-jay, White-crowned sparrow, California towhee, California quail, House finch, Mountain chickadee, Northern flicker, Hairy...

    Bad Tobacco ?

    The final smoke IS the execution. 😵 🪦

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    If you're going to quote Jeffrey Dahmer, the least you could do is give him credit. 🤓

    RIP Dickey Betts

    I am, but for entirely different reasons altogether. Mostly TAD related.

    RIP Dickey Betts

    Not in a motorcycle accident, I hope... RIP.

    Estervals and UPS

    That's a frightening prospect for any pipe smoker. Now I have this to add to my seemingly never-ending list of concerns. Thanks a lot! :poop: :ROFLMAO:

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    Less than two days after I snagged a Peterson estate on SP, they ran a 15% off estate pipes sale.

    The Matrix is Designed so that Everyone Sees a Clue

    Yep! Granted there's a preponderance of those, but eating oysters (or indeed any kind of shellfish) is right up there on the list. It's treif, bubelah! Oy veyismir...or rather, oy vey, izmir? :ROFLMAO:

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Going back outside for some ranch chores while wifey and mustang are out and about, with some well-dried PSLNF in a Stefano rhodesian for afterward. Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, California towhee, Dark-eyed junco, American crow, American tree sparrow, California scrub-jay, Steller's jay...

    What Are You Listening To - April, 2024

    Santana - La Fuente del Ritmo, from Caravanserai (1972). One of my all-time favorite Fender Rhodes solos @ 2:37.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Had a lovely bowl of Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match in a Savinelli Bacco 321 rusticated bent author. Draw was a bit closed for my taste...I think this pipe will benefit from a 6mm adapter, which I will try out next time. 7.4/10 Bird report: White-crowned sparrow, Dark-eyed junco...

    Benchmark Blends

    Makes the most sense for me to do it by category... (A) Mac Baren Vanilla Cream (V) Peterson Flake (VP) Escudo (VB) Mac Baren Burley London Blend (E) Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Orig. Mix Match (B) C&D Eight State Burley @jbfrady Note my restraint in avoiding a mention of any blend name with one...

    I've Created a Blend for Smoking Indoors.

    None of us do.

    An Expensive Case of Buyers Remorse

    Perhaps because only now did he look closer and realize it's actually a Brent Gretzky card: Gotta read the fine print, dude! ;)

    B&M Near Me

    Of those present, I have only tried Mixture Scottish Blend and Vanilla Cream. If you're finding aromatics to be within your comfort zone, Vanilla Cream is a pretty reliable standard in that realm. I didn't enjoy Scottish much, kind of a "kitchen sink" type of blend, with lots of different stuff...

    As i smoke my pipe

    The impossibility of such a thing is the main reason I never had children. Just my two cents. And, of course: IBTL (In Before The Lawsuit)

    Finished off yesterday's Mac B Plumcake leftovers in the Pete Shannon.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Wifey and I are going to a friend's house a few miles away for a nice dinner. My pre-meal choice is difficult: hot tub, or pipe? Taking along some Mac Baren Plumcake and a Peterson Shannon 06 classic straight billiard should I choose the latter. Few birds today, just a smattering of jays...
