    Cigars And Pipes...The Journey

    IMHO we are in the age of quick fix, cheap make and constant throw away. It is nice to still have the option of cigar and pipe smoking. It gets me focused on the finer and more subtle points in life. Being able to slow down and be present in the moment is a real plus. Unless one is a single...

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    Yeah...with all the options out there to go to for tobacco, there is not a lot of room for error and poor customer service on the business side. For me inflation these days really makes me think twice before putting my money out there. I am anticipating increasing international supply chain...

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    Yeah...I noticed this in the interview. The passion for the blending, but the increasing frustration with the business side. I would have looked elsewhere myself if the I kept trying and couldn't place the order on the website. Just would throw everything into doubt at that point for me.

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    Yikes! So it looked fine upon opening for everyone and then after 1-2 weeks there was visible mold growing? Was it narrowed down by the buyers as to why this happened...like existing mold spores already in the tobacco waiting for the right conditions to thrive?

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    That doesn't sound like a way to keep a business thriving. Especially when word of mouth is your best way to advertise. That is one of my concerns about buying bigger quantities of tobacco if I find one that I really like. I've read in several areas about folks dealing with mold issues.

    What Coffee Brand do You Like?

    Not a purist when it comes to coffee. Dunkin Donuts Regular in a french press, then I add half n' half and sugar. I like it in a mug or fine bone china. Espresso - I like illy in my little italian stovetop espresso maker. I have been eyeballing turkish coffees. There is a market down the street...

    Ken Byron Video Interview from August, 2023

    My order of KBV just arrived (Dark Fired Cherry, Moriarty and Hand of Gotz), and a seperate package with a couple Meer cobs. Yeah, this interview was fun to watch. Ken is definitely a Gen X-er (I am too). Loved the New Wave nod. I am not sure how much longer he will be selling custom blends...

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    I've had many of those kinds of holidays in the past. Yeah, it's the best on the day/evening of. I try to still get the holiday food in at the first available. Hope you can find a moment soon to enjoy your 4th of July favorites. puffy 🇺🇸

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    Yes! Korean lettuce wraps are what turned me onto putting other rice bowl mixtures in lettuce wraps with different types of dressings. At the Korean BBQ restaurants (my happy place) here that was my favorite part of the meal...load up the lettuce wraps with the meat, rice and some banchan...

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    I baked the cheesy jalapeño cornbread and chocolate chip cookies last night. Then slow rolled the cooking out this morning and afternoon. I do not have a grill, so my ribs were done in the oven, yet they did not disappoint! I added some brown sugar to the stubbs original BBQ sauce, and made sure...

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    After the BBQ and libation with or without good company....everything else is literally gravy in my book on a day like today! Getting up at 3am to make sure the smoker is on schedule is a major commitment. Much respect. puffy

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    That sounds like some great memories you and your wife have collected over the years. I hear you with the getting older. I am not fan of being around big crowds anymore. Give me the small gatherings and the space to decompress from those small gatherings.

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    It is a food Mecca! In many cases the best food is served right off of food trucks parked all over the urban sprawl by chefs looking to make their mark in a very saturated market. We have lots of great food being served out of tiny holes in the wall with lines around the block. Of late the...

    Wow! That sounds really tasty! Is it a personal recipe? Did it come from any particular part of the world?

    That sounds very refreshing. Chilled soups are not something I usually make, however I can appreciate them. What goes into your cucumber soup? Congrats on the respite from work. puffy

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    Sometimes just having the food made by someone else makes all the difference. There is a BBQ chain in these parts called Wood Ranch. For a while they offered giant short rib on their menu. All that intense marbling with the meat and a side of mashed potatoes. The best! puffy Edit: Wood Ranch...

    Thanks for your service! 🇺🇸 Those Carolina peaches sound great! Folks around here have been lighting off the fireworks in LA since last weekend...although truth be told..sometimes it is a little fuzzy telling the difference between the fireworks and the guns going off around this time because of...
