    Coffee or Tea?

    Both! I drink a single shot espresso in the morning, then it’s tea for the rest of the day. Big fan of loose leaf gongfu style brewing, where I can enjoy steeping the same leaves all day and enjoy the way the flavor develops. Big fan of Yunnan Sourcing, it’s amazing quality at an even more...

    Welcome from a fellow Ottawan! I knew there had to be more than one in this city 🙂

    Studies on Pipe and Cigar smokers - Inconsistent!?

    As with all things related to health and nutrition, exact science is not an exact science. Too many confounds to control for completely; all you can do is try to quiet the noise as much as possible. I doubt we’ll ever know just how dangerous pipe smoking is, just that it is in fact dangerous...

    First Outdoor Smoke of the Year

    I always like to say that whatever the weather offers us, it pays back with interest!

    Returning to Canada with Tobacco: Receipts Required?

    Generally speaking (ymmv) is that if properly declared, customs calculate duties based on the posted weights. If not properly declared, most agents will calculate duties off the weight of the tins (or if they’re feeling particularly rude, the weight of the entire box). Which sort of makes...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Been on a real deckbuilder kick recently - this and Inscryption on the steam deck have killed my productivity at work the last week or two 😂

    How Many Open Blends?

    I’m sitting on about 175 open jars currently, but trying to reduce that over the next few years to no more than 20. I’m just a sucker for trying new blends, and I lack the patience to wait until all my opened jars are done before I try whatever the new blend is. It’s an illness. I’ve been...

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    I have a friend in Australia - apparently they have a hardware store called bunnings that offers weekly(ish?) sausage sizzles, they called it a Bunnings Snag! I really think more stores should do the same. I would be much less opposed to my fiance dragging me out to run weekend errands if...

    First Outdoor Smoke of the Year

    Is there anything better than coming out of hibernation, smelling that fresh spring air, and lighting up a big bowl of tobacco under the warm sun? We’ve been struck by unseasonably warm temperatures that are looking to stick around for most of March, and I’m capitalizing on it in a big way...

    A Question About Anthology 2023

    I would have smoked that without hesitation 😂 Glad there are experts smarter than I out there! Greatly appreciate this thread - I’ve got a good dozen tins of this stored away, I’ll keep an eye out in the years/decades down the road as I slowly dip into the reserves.

    I'm Back, MSO 489

    Just browsed through the first few pages online, this looks right up my alley! Ordered, thanks mate :)

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently reading Two Years Before the Mast! Spending a week on a tropical beach, and I wanted a story that complimented the atmosphere. A (to my landlubber sensibilities) delightfully authentic tale about a two year voyage around the Horn of South America, full of salt and all things nautical...
