    Crooner with the Crooner

    I think so. I’ve heard some folks mention that. IIRC, @Chasing Embers once told me there was some “scare” related to a hypothesis that it aggravated respiratory illnesses. In response to that, blenders were either forced or willfully chose to dial it way back. Then it turned out the hypothesis...

    I second this. Where to buy straight DT? Would love to get my hands on some.

    Wife and Goomars

    Update. I’m scratching EMP. I only see her about once a year, and we don’t usually even have that great of a time anymore. It’s more agita than bliss with that broad lately.

    Crooner with the Crooner

    Wish I had tried it bf last year. Everybody talks about the deertongue difference.

    My First Peterson

    That’s twice now my writing in this post has received a pat on the head. Thank you! Not to disappoint, but I assure you it’s accidental eloquence. As for the new Peterson, I’m a big fan. I’ve already informed my bank account it’ll be responsible for acquiring more pieces for my collection. So...

    Crooner with the Crooner

    There’s a scene a little later where they’re at a party. Betty is mad at Bob. All bc Emma’s nosy-only-getting-part-of-the-story butt. She should’ve just minded her own business like George Utley would do 40 years later at another Vermont inn. Anyway, in that scene, he lights up, striking the...

    Crooner with the Crooner

    Right bf we sat down to watch the movie tonight, my wife said, “We’re gonna let you open one gift tonight. I think it’s something you could use right away.” She knows I always smoke a bowl of Crooner with this film. I was so excited. I thought she had bought me a Bing and was giving it to me to...

    Crooner with the Crooner

    I enjoy for about a month or two at a time twice per year. I’ve heard some others talk about what the blend used to be like. Apparently, previous iterations of this blend were heavier on the deertongue, which sounds lovely to me.

    Crooner with the Crooner

    Enjoying a bowl of Crooner with the crooner himself. When Bing lights the match in this scene, it’s the smoothest strike in the history of fire. Merry Christmas

    Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

    Santa’s in a pickle now. Nothing a bowl can’t solve.

    Santa Claus Conquers the Martians

    Let’s not forget, this man smokes a variety of pipes, as seen in this 1963 film Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (that for some reason was passed over at the Academy Awards.) And although his back is to the camera in this pic I took, the actor standing with St. Nick here is Ned Wertimer, the...
