    How can a pipe sell for $5,610?

    I would want a pipe I could smoke thousands of times, would not fear of dropping, and would enjoy. That said, yes quite the work of art. :)

    Let’s Solve Why Pipe Smoking is 1% of 1935

    Outside of a pipe club or good tobacco shop or lounge that has been my experience as well. I'm glad for this site where I meet people like myself. I can say this is one of the few places where I feel right at home.

    Let’s Solve Why Pipe Smoking is 1% of 1935

    The zeitgeist has definitely shifted. First tobacco in general is let us say less popular; no smoking in most restaurants, definitely no hotels, and depending on where to live, not in public. Second, of those of us who do enjoy tobacco, a quick bland nicotine hit without flavor is preferred by...

    Let’s Solve Why Pipe Smoking is 1% of 1935

    I agree, when I have a good nicotine hit it's more of a oh time to set the pipe down for awhile thing than a this is what I was looking for thing. If I go slow and set the pipe down and relight later I can have a great smoking session tasting great tobacco and it's just nice and peaceful.

    You Just Hate To See This

    Sorry you had that happen. I have to agree with some others here and say I would probably carefully empty the tin and discard anything that looked diseased. Hopefully there is a lot of good tobacco left that is untainted. I say that for three reasons: 1) I'm cheap, I hate to throw my valuable...

    I guess getting luggage stolen at LAX is common. I'm so happy I am retired and my plane days are over.

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    You are correct about the women. The lesson was on relationships. The chapter was called is it safe. The topic covered physical safety emotional safety, environmental safety and community safety. Not just guns, one guy took off his shirt and showed a stab wound. I totally agree with you on...

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    My daughter was taught by me and is the safest person I know when it comes to firearm safety. A gun is metal and plastic until you put it together with a bullet. I think of shooting a gun like I think of driving a car. Do it safe. I very much agree with you.

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    I have 2 Glock pistols. My advice : never chamber a round until you are going to shoot. In an emergency situation you can chamber quickly. Chambering a round is a serious thing. Second is always checking the chamber after you are done shooting. Magazine out, bolt back looking in you should see...

    Perique Question:

    I am wondering if the aging part is the big part of the equation I am missing. I expected the leaves to be really pungent and they are not. Thankfully I have a lot of processed perique. I am letting the rest age. Thank you for your comment. I wish I could of been on that pipe tour sounded great :)

    Perique Question:

    Bubbling and foaming fermentation, yes, that is the perique I had hoped for.

    Perique Question:

    That is a good question.
  14. Gerald Boone

    Perique Question:

    Definitely will update probably around the first part pf December. I have a good amount of processed perique that I can consume; so I'm not hurting for perique.

    Perique Question:

    Thank you I will give an update in time, it may take a while for my science experiments to yield results. This is what the leaf drying looks like
  16. Gerald Boone

    Perique Question:

    Thank you :) Right now I have the majority of it as it came; granted your advice I will leave it for 6 months. I have some shredded leaves in a tin (a big tin with a lot of air) and some blended with my processed perique. So the jar with the dry processed along side the wet freshly shredded I...

    Perique Question:

    Thank you that explains a lot. Even the processed perique tobacco I have bought has differences. You explained why thanks again.

    Perique Question:

    I love perique tobacco and am always looking for the best perique tobacco on the planet. Towards that end I bought some whole leaf perique which is, according to it's description, from St James parish in Louisiana; as it should be. Well it is a good and wet leaf but does not smell like the...

    What are Your Favorite Youtube Channels at the Moment ?

    I watch a lot of news from over a dozen channels; same with music. Of course I watch anything from Norm McDonald. I watch some of the videos about Rachel Zegler which are entertaining. I like the travel videos and ones about tobacco. Sometimes the videos which tell of historical events offer the...
