    Another Zoom Thread

    I did a search and looks like there were some Zoom threads years ago but nothing recent. Do we have access to a zoom? Is there interest in setting up a weekly zoom call, you know like every friday night starting at 8pm and just leaving it open and whoever can join joins and hang out and smoke...

    Looking For VA / VAPer Plug Suggestions

    Let's See That Knowledge

    About 10 or 12 years ago when I first started smoking a pipe someone sent me a bunch of tobaccos, one of those was a holiday blend, I have zero idea what it was, to be honest i barely remember anything about it other than it was a holiday blend, it came in a large Xmas festive rectangular tin...

    Picked Up A Couple Meers

    First time I've bought a pipe in several months, added a couple meers to the collection. The sitter might be a present for someone, if it's too small for me LOL https://www.ebay.com/itm/315244630946 https://www.ebay.com/itm/404858618418

    Core Memory from Traveling?

    This just popped into my head while watching an old episode of Wild, Wild West. I'm interested in core memories from travels, something that could be quite small but has always stuck with you and you look back on fondly. For me I was redesigning Nike's call center software and as part of the...

    Wait, what?

    Let's here one of those questions that movies just never answer or plot holes you could drive an 18 wheeler through that just grind your gears, you know speaking of 18 wheeler. I was watching Death Rides a Horse, decent enough spaghetti western, a great showcase for Lee Van Cleef being Lee Van...

    Celebration Restaurant?

    What restaurant your family would go to for celebrations that you didn’t realize wasn’t a 5-star restaurant till you grew up? For me it was Sizzler or a bday would be Red Lobster (well once).

    Blends That Compliment Each Other

    I usually smoke 2 or 3 blends in my rotation, my go to blends. They all do a nice job of complimenting each other that is bringing out something special in each. I do this a lot with cigars, something more hay barnyard like a CoRo then something more on the espresso / chocolate note side like...

    Article About Mad Magazine

    Informative and interesting for those of us that remember Alfred E Newman and Mad. Probably remember it being better than it was, but it really did give us so many iconic recurring characters. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/a-brief-history-of-mad-magazine?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-us

    Question for Jim

    @JimInks I looked and looked, so i'll just ask for everyone, in your reviews you says "just under medium nic hit", "taste is a step above medium". So what is mild, medium and strong to you? Could you give us one or two examples of each mild, medium and strong for taste, nic hit and whatever...

    So You Thought Penzance Was Expensive

    The secondary market is crazy for some pipe tobaccos but can't hold a candle to this... fresh Cubans.... $500 a pop, it's a book cigar, so $10,000 for the book. Gee wonder who will be buying these rich Chinese or rich Arabs, most likely both. I've smoked a few of them (back door without the...
