    Maya Matches - Cactus Quill Match Review

    Evening gents, Thought I'd give a quick review of a unique type of match I've managed to get my grubby paws on. They are called Maya Matches". Made in Mexico, generally sold exclusively south of the border, but sometimes found in stores around the Texas valley. What makes them unique, is that...

    The Wrist Watch

    My everyday knockabout watch is this Invicta Pro Diver. Keeps crazy accurate time, and the self winding movement has worked flawlessly so far. I love the classic style, and the fact it very closely resembles the Rolex Submariner doesn't hurt either.

    Estate Sale Jackpot

    The sale was from the estate of a gentleman who passed away, from items in the sale, I gathered he was a psychologist, not sure of his specialty. I also believe he was a holocaust survivor. Would have loved to have met him before he passed, there were so many interesting items left behind. I'm...

    Estate Sale Jackpot

    Stopped by an estate sale today. JACKPOT! Most tins appear to be unopened. Not sure of tin age, but I'm assuming 60's or 70's? And scored a Peterson in the mix!

    Help With Half & Half!

    I've actually got a sizable amount of both Half & Half and Carter hall in here. Even got some original Sugar Barrel too. I love my codger blends!

    Help With Half & Half!

    @deathmetal I've never had Mixture 79, but I'll bet Mixture 69 probably smells funny. :?

    Help With Half & Half!

    I've heard so much about Half and Half, and I couldn't wait to try this venerated old-timer's blend for myself. I heard it goes great with black coffee in the morning, but great for all day. I bought a few ounces of the traditional blend at the local store and raced home to try it out. Upon...

    This Is It

    Pretty soon, pipes including bowls & stems, pipe stands, even tobacco pouches with be restricted and controlled by the FDA. This is our doom approaching, enemy envaders taking over our basic rights...and we know there's nothing we can do to stop it. It's already been decided.

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    Acclaimatimg to the thinner atmosphere will be well well worth the bloody nose just to get away from the Ohio Valley crud that plagues my lungs four of five times a year. She'll know this coming week if she got the promotion. I'll update you guys on the results when I know. Wish us luck...

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    The alcohol thing seems a lot like Kentucky where liquor stores are often separate buildings connected to the grocery stores. My wife's company has the their liquor store separate from the grocery. Connected by a wall, but separate entrances. The grocery store only stocks beer and wine, no hard...

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    @jackswilling But that's the problem. I purchased a Yugo AK and half a dozen HiCap Magpuls less than six months ago. Maybe I should sell the Magpuls and invest in some older soviet or chinese steel magazines?

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    @jackswilling when did it change back? I know there has been an ongoing battle to repeal the law, but according to the Colorado.gov site and a lot of firearm forums anything over 15 rounds is still illegal as of 2013. Although those same forums say it's largely ignored by law inforcement and gun...

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    When we were out there for a couple days last year, the food seemed very bland, but I'm assuming that's on account of the elevation, hopefully that will work out after being there a bit. We did visit a dispensary (as gawking tourists do) and you know..."when in Rome" it was the first time I had...

    Pending Move To Colorado. What Am In For?

    My wife is very likely being promoted to senior HR Trainer at her company's home office. That means a very abrupt move to Colorado, specifically the Denver/Boulder/Niwot area. The fact that this promotion means our combined income will fall into the $90,000+ per year range, means I don't really...

    alcohol (e.g. rum) flavorings in pipe tobacco

    Scarface, I'm calling BS on that story. I wouldn't trust whomever told you that. If the club member went to hospital, it was for a nicotine overdose from smoking one of the most nic-heavy blends ever made (GH Twists), not alcohol poisoning. It is impossible for someone to get alcohol...
