    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    We need to think about this. Typical flake out of a tin are not dry enough. So, you can dry it for better result. However, even dried flake are sometimes hard to smoke. The main reason is the lack of air movement between the tobacco strands in flake. To remedy this, after folding, and before...

    Pipes and Cigars Online Store. Never Again.

    Had a bad experience years ago. Never went back. There are vendors bending over backwards to make me feel welcomed. No reason to deal with companies that won't make me feel like throwing my money at them.

    Alligator

    Pizza without mozzarella? Blasphemy! Where'd you grow up? In Highlands? Do you deep fry Mars bar? Croissant without butter is bad as pizza with pineapple.

    Coffee or Tea?

    Found out I enjoy black tea during the winter months, and coffee when the weather is warming up. Been contemplating if I'm going to keep on drinking espresso. It does give a good dose of jolt in the morning, but it's not like the comfort of drip brew. But not really finding good old Mr. Coffee...

    Pack and Tap: Is my Strange Way Wrong?

    Anybody Use Clipper Lighters?

    Life is complete once you have a Zippo. Other than when you run out of the fuel. That's why they made Bic.

    Gurgles . . . . .
