    Zippo Fuel Lighter - Taste?

    I just accept the taste for the first puff or so. It's gone so quickly that I don't care.

    J.R.R Tolkien ...

    The photo of him with a billiard in his teeth on the back of my mother's LOTR paperbacks was the primary influence in my telling my (anti-smoking) parents, "I'll never smoke, but if I do, it'll be a pipe." And here we are.

    Pure Prepared Salad Mustard

    Pay me half that and I'll find a way to steal the recipe for you.

    Pure Prepared Salad Mustard

    In most arenas, I gravitate towards the more artisan instantiation of a thing. But not in the mustard arena. Try as I might to prefer the wider world of better mustards, I always come back to mainstream American yellow mustard. My sub-par pallet just likes it better on a pretzel, hardboiled...

    Lightheaded and Not Sure Why

    God, from all eternity, did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain that this should come to pass.

    How to Price Bulk Tobacco to Sell?

    Speaking of Motzek Strang, I just tried it for the first time, thanks to the generosity of @alan73. Fascinating and savory tobacco. I can't think of anything I'd compare it to. The biggest surprise to me was how my family raved about the room note. Typically they rave about the room note of...

    Hello from Upper Michigan

    Welcome! As @Singularis said, I may be in your neck of the woods -- I'm in Niagara, WI, on 141, on the border with Iron Mountain. If you come down to GB, you literally drive within two blocks of my house when you cross the bridge into WI. Where are you in the UP? By the way, pipe maker Lee...

    Green Bay Pipe Club March Meeting

    Yes, turns out that I'd enjoy hanging out with any of these guys even if we didn't have pipe smoking in common ;-) And yes, Prohibition wound up being an ideal venue. Highly recommendable for its creating many points of comfortable isolation within its spaciousness.

    Green Bay Pipe Club March Meeting

    I've been away from the forum for a few weeks, and my wife just reminded me of this! Looking forward to meeting you all as well.

    My Lent Regret

    It's difficult to know how to discuss this in light of Matt. 6:16-18, but that was part of the wisdom of the Church in standardizing expectations rather than leaving things to a choose-your-own-adventure. Edward Pusey said, Although the Roman church, since Vatican II, has handled Lent in a...

    Alligator

    Although I live up north, I've tried alligator twice when traveling down south. One time tasted like the chicken, the other time tasted like swamp. I'm guessing the former was farm raised and the latter wasn't.

    Teapots

    Sipping a loose leaf cinnamon green tea right now. From your first line about the traditional teapot being a poor design, I was ready to fight you, Flatfish (not really, I love you). I'm a conservative soul, and no fan of johnny-come-lately criticisms of tradition. I use a Brown Betty from...

    How Long Have You Smoked a Pipe?

    When I was 22, about 16 years ago. I'd grown up in an anti-smoking home, and sometimes as a kid I'd said, "I won't smoke, but if I do, it'll be a pipe." I think it was driven by my veneration of St. Clive and Tolkien.

    I'm Back, MSO 489

    Tom, I feel very relieved. You were asked about frequently. I consciously missed you many times! This news is very good to hear.

    In Praise of Mixture 79

    I've been curious to try this for a long time. The flavors sound right up my alley, but the tobacco doesn't, so I'd like to see how that shakes out for me.
