    Backpacking

    Sure, plenty. And ticks, too. But think about it...I hike all day (or whatever portion) and then camp close to dusk. You get your fire going and the smoke scatters the bugs. Then, by mid-night or so they're all gone anyway. So by the time I'm swinging, there's nothing buzzing about. Then...

    Orlik's Golden Sliced - some impressions

    Yummy & cheap...a great combo in my book! Definitely a great bright VA choice. If I was stuck with it on a deserted island, I wouldn't be very upset. I'm aging more than I'm smoking, as it'll should be a delight later on. I figure it'll put it on par with the other fine flakes previously...

    DS or BWF?

    Yeah, I tend to favor the DS, myself. I find that BWF has this sourish flavor going on. While I do enjoy it on its own merits, I find that the cleaner flavor of DS suits me better more often. I get the same from the nose; DS smells more appealing in the jar to me. Was just wondering how...

    Buying my first "nice" pipe...need advice!

    Big Tex, I say go get your 999. I have a 90s and love it in it's Donegal finish. They're like $85 new...take the other $35 and get yourself some more tobak! Everything everyone else said is absolutely true, too, and the Peterson I have is drilled a little bit deep. But you know what, I still...

    Backpacking

    Yeah, I bought their rain fly...the asym cut and size (I got the big one) allow me to use it in many ways. They would be my first 'package' deal, if I go that route. It was that or the ENO when I was shopping, and I wanted a hammock with either a zip-out or no bug netting installed. I want to...

    Backpacking

    Which lead to my "hells yeah" comment. First trip I took my one bud on was the Black Forest Trail (look it up...wee bit o' elevation). I told him repeatedly to get sticks, but he wasn't buying it. After 1 day into the 3 day trip, I gave him my poles while my other buddy and I used a pole and...

    Cornell & Deihl Briar Fox?

    Backing up PB here. Dry, spiciness, airy, astringent but not tangy. I like many VA blends, this one included; there's much variety to be had within this one leaf alone. This fits my palate as a dusty, dusky, pinot noir with just a hint of spice. For when I'm looking for something a little...
