    Manawydan's Starter Cellar

    I started my cellar with a small cabinet that I saved from a kitchen remodel. When that got full, I added a banker’s box. Then a second. And a third. And yesterday, I bought a damn six-shelf bookcase cuz all my boxes are full. I need help….

    Full disclosure. I copied that image! 😜

    May The Fourth…

    And let’s not forget that Jar Jar almost single-handedly killed the franchise. Yeah, I’m thinking get them hooked on the OG trilogy. Then they’ll be a bit more forgiving of episodes 1-3

    May The Fourth…

    I’m looking forward to sharing the Star Wars universe with my kids. I’m thinking maybe this summer, once school and sports are over. The question for me is, do I start with A New Hope, or Episode 1? The original trilogy is far superior, but the ‘prequels’ do provide some backstory. 🧐

    …be with you. Happy Star Wars day!

    Another Senseless Act of Kindness

    A few weeks ago, I posted a question about trying to salvage some very old, very neglected, very dry cigars. I was wondering if they could be saved because I’ve never tried a cigar and thought it might be fun. I should have known that someone from this group would see that as an opportunity...

    Check your Dollar Bills

    Can’t remember the last time I had any cash. I’m all digital these days.

    Any Big, Angled Lighters Out There?

    I bought mine at a local B&M. Here is a link to mine on the Visol site. Price has crept up a bit I see. https://www.visolproducts.com/visol-pyxis-dark-gun-pipe-lighter/

    Any Big, Angled Lighters Out There?

    Mine has a small sliding piece on top. Pulling it back reveals a small slot into which you can drop a new flint. Push the release tab and the sliding door snaps back into place.

    Dad Does It Again

    The gal that will occasionally watch our kids for an hour or two here and there lives on a farm. She gets baby goats every year. My 7 year old daughter LOVES them. She crawls right in the pen and plays down in the hay with them. Well done!!

    Do Aromatic Blends Keep/Age?

    I’m smoking through a tin of Orlik Racing Green right now. It’s about 10 years old if I’m reading the code correctly. I’ve never had it fresh so I can’t compare, but it’s a mighty fine smoke right now. I think cellaring aros will be no problem.
  12. AcesAndEights

    There.. I did it.

    I’ll leave most aros out to dry at least overnight. Some more.

    I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

    Is he holding glasses in his other hand? Might wanna put those on. He’s gonna poke an eye out!

    Rehydrating OLD Cigars

    I’m not the sentimental type. Not a bad idea though. We’re going camping for Father’s Day. I’ll rehydrate them and fire one up around the fire. If they suck, I’ll toss them in and put something nice in my pipe.

    Watch City Old Dominion Tins

    It’s double the price of regular Old Dominion. Could the cut make THAT much of an improvement? Maybe. I’ll never know.

    Rehydrating OLD Cigars

    I really don’t think I’ll become a regular cigar smoker. I’m happy with my pipes. I just found them and thought I’d ask y’all’s opinions before tossing them.

    Favorite Morning Blend

    I don’t usually get a morning smoke, but on the occasions that I do, I’ll usually grab a vanilla aromatic. HOWEVER, I’m currently working through a tin of Saint Espresso, and believe it or not, it goes rather well with coffee.

    A Match for Capstan Blue?

    Country Squire’s Faulkner Flake is rumored to be close.

    What's For Dinner?

    Since winter is giving us one last kiss goodbye (damn snow), I decided it was soup day. Had a ham bone in the freezer, so I made a pot of split pea and ham with some toasted cheesy garlic baguettes to dip. Come on, spring! Any time would be great.
