    Does Nic Hit Increase with Age of the Tobacco?

    Title edited for caps. See Rule 9. My specific example prompting this question is my Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices. I ordered and jarred up a pound of this a couple years ago. From the start I have enjoyed it as a delicious and not too strong at all virginia. Hadn't had any in a while and the...

    Half & Half zippy on the tongue / alkaline?

    Zippy on the tongue is just the right expression. I'm wondering if this is an alkaline reaction? i.e. the H&H smoke being alkaline in relation to mouth pH. Anyone know about this kind of chemistry and is there a fun and easy way to test this at home?

    Wind Master lighter

    Put this "Wind Master" lighter back in service today (just added fluid). Came to me from a long departed family friend we called "Uncle Van" as kids. Haven't seen one before. Online I learned "..Wind Master lighters were produced in the early 1960's by Brown and Bigelow.."

    New IMP Lattice Sitter

    PAD struck when visited a B&M last week.. New IMP lattice meer sitter. Nice and light (not weighed yet however). This was old stock in the B&M case probably from ~2000. Stem is a push in, not threaded, and tenon is integral to the stem and nice size airway. Bit is ok, but a tad thick compared to...

    1966 Dunhill Shell Briar 6120 F/T

    Picked this up from Rich at Briarville. Birthyear and my first Dunhill. Passes a pipe cleaner (with a bit of a twist to find the shank bore). Curious about the number. 6120 suggests a Group 6 cherrywood in the charts I could find, but it ain't that... Has a 4S stamp which says group 4...but it...

    Cooking with Fatboy Slim

    Enjoying tobacco must go hand in hand with enjoying food and drink and all things sensorily affected.. But to wax less poetic, I love good food! My wife is an excellent cook (funny aside, the first question my father asked me when I said I was going to propose to my bonnie lass was "is she a...

    Peretti Pride of Loch Lomond

    Apparentlty I never posted a review of this blend. I find when looking back over my posts, I have raved about it almost every time. Tried it again tonight after not sampling it since last winter. Damn! Yes I still love this blend, and it was love at first puff! I also see, in reviewing my...

    Lighter Tips

    What have you learned about getting the best out of your lighter? I observed it was always taking two thumb spins with my Clipper lighter to get a flame. Tried pressing the gas briefly first, then the full flint light and got a dependable light. Now will be my SOP. Curious to know any other...

    Morning Blends

    I'm on a little quest right now to find another 'morning blend' as a staple pairing with that first cup of coffee. In this last year I have really enjoyed the following: Peretti 52, 333 and Thanksgiving Day; We Three Kings; Voodoo Queen; and my Bayou Veermaster (60% Bayou Morning / 40%...

    Briarworks visit today

    Came out to Tennessee to visit our son who moved out to Franklin a few months ago. Today my wife and I took a little trip down to Columbia to visit Briarworks, made my pilgrimage so to speak, and was able to stroke my PAD and TAD. Delightful visit! Brad helped me find this excellent blast in...

    22/OCT/2023 -- Alaska Air 2059/Horizon E175 from Seattle to San Francisco had to divert to Portland after an off-duty pilot sitting in the jumpseat inside the cockpit tried to reach both Engine Fire handles on the overhead panel, which would cause both engines to stop receiving fuel and shut down.

    Cracked Bowl Poole & Smythe Magnum

    Was given this old Poole & Smythe Ltd. Magnum canadian-shape 845 (which the internet informs me was possibly a Dunhill second label?). Has a large crack in the front of the bowl, which goes all the way through. I presume this is unfixable--but I really don't know. I have heard people have put...
