Reserve 7 was one of my first tins of tobacco. I smoked a lot of it back then. Never had a pipe. I'm not sure I knew they even made pipes.

Here's a pointless story about the first time I went to the Porkies. We normally camped in the backcountry, but for our first visit, we logged a campsite off the main road in the middle section of the park. You know, most state parks aren't like the Porkies, but we didn't know that then. So...

That's one of my favorite places I've ever been. When I lived in Minnesota, it was a short 4-hour drive, so we would go up there a few times a year. snowshoe backpacking in January is one of my fondest backpacking memories. sure, it was COLD, but we had the entire park to ourselves...

Feud: Capote vs. The Swans on FX I'd like to see the budget they had for this casting. It's nuts. More importantly, they all deliver. I find this era of NYC to be interesting, but the acting is the thing. If Tom Hollander doesn't get recognized several times over, the various academies are...

I remember when chocolate tasted like chocolate, the flavor wasn't masked by the abundance of salt, and didn't have the consistency of paraffin. I still find hi-fi gear and sound to be the only way to listen to music. To piggyback, want the drums to sound like drums, not like they're playing...

Nice one! A hack that never occurred to me. DUH.

Geez. It's not enough that my message box is inundated on the daily with sales from tobacco dealers. It's not enough that blenders went down the "small batch" route and limited editions. Now we need to dedicate a day for a blend? Sorry for the language, but what F'ing drama queens. National X...

cool find and share. thank you.

lots of flooded basements coming...

When I lived in Chapel Hill, the ice was one of the rude awakenings. I grew up in the Midwest, and I'd lived in Minnesota for several years, but wall-to-wall ice rinks were more of a rarity. Chapel Hill didn't get much snow, but clear coatings of ice on everything was the norm in the winter...

While I don't like Medvedev's grouchy, moody behavior towards staff and ball kids, he's one of the few fellas I enjoy watching. He's both deceptively athletic and quick, so as he plays so far behind the service line, he gets to more balls than you would think. This creates an obvious weakness...

Well, I can't find it either, so maybe I dreamt it. I found where he talked about all the percentages in his FAQs, but not adding water by percentage. I swear he talked about something like this on this very board years ago though. Oh well, it won't be the last time I'm wrong about something.

If you google GL Pease + humidifying, or something like that, you'll find an article or two AND his own website's FAQ page. Scroll through this for a particular, more scientific method than most use. It's not exactly precise, but once you establish a general percentage of moisture, you can...

I'm with Ranger107. Just fill it half full. I'm drawn to massive pipes too, but I don't have the time to sit around for 2 hours. I often fill them 1/3 to 1/2, and they still smoke great.

I love hacks of any sort. Like to see repurposing and making things multi-use tools. https://www.brothersofbriar.com/threads/not-made-for-pipes-and-tobacco-hacks-reappropriation.36798/

I'm open for some trips. You gotta pay for the tobacco and all my expenses, but I'll come visit. I jest (sort of).

Ouch! Are you allowed to bring any in if you go on a trip somewhere?

ah, you're right! I forgot, and always forget, there's a pause in play for all the explosions and outside celebration. This year, it'll be on men's semifinals day...night. I used to stay up all night. I prefer the night. I liked being up at 3, 4, 5AM with live tennis. I no longer do that...

Australian Open starts January 13th, which I think is a week, or week and a half, earlier than normal? For some reason, I was thinking it usually starts the 19th-23rd or so.

The 2024 season has already started in Australia, like it always does. It's nation play now, as they prepare for the Australian Open at the end of the month. I've been watching the Daria Kasatkina/Natalia Zabiiako youtube channel, and while it isn't the purpose of the vlog, it puts a...
