    Similar here. But in my case, I live on a large aquifer that absorbs whatever falls. ;)

    Humidifying idea

    I've had tobacco dry out on me a couple of times. Instead of buying anything new to solve the problem, I tried a tea infuser. Works great, and fits in a quart mason. Get the paper towel wet enough but not drippy. Pics should be self explanatory.

    Help with Gatlin Burlier Tobacco

    My daughter got me the below pictured blend when she was traveling in TN. Their website mentions one called "No Local", but this one is "Not No Local." What can anyone tell me about it, besides that it's not "No Local?"

    Regulations?

    Can you tell me what "the deeming regulations" are?

    Regulations?

    When I go to Pipes & Cigars site and look at the MATCH Presbyterian page, they have a blurb like this at the bottom: "Due to recent regulations, this blend is now only available as a Pre-Built Blend Kit for you to become a master blender right in your own home. Each kit, once blended, will...

    In other news, I'm in the bunker under the front porch, hiding from the cold. Smoking some "Not No Local" from Gatlin Burliers. We draw names at Christmas, since there are so many of us, and my younger daughter drew me. I sent her a list that had a two-pipe leather bag as the first choice...

    The obvious lesson here is to leave all the other forums! Please stay :)

    CASES of canned food. You are positively whipped, my friend! (we have canned cat food on auto-ship from Amazon, lol.)

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Sitting on my 30°F porch with twinkle of snow falling. Bayou Morning in the Dunhill. I was feeling like I wasn't enjoying my pipes very much in the last week. This morning, after not enjoying some John Bull, I suddenly realized that I must be packing too tight. Little bit later I loaded up...

    I found my missing pipe! One night I wanted a pipe, but it was cold and windy, so I went under the front porch. There's a little concrete bunker down there, and a door into the basement. Wife called for dinner, and I set it down and forgot about it. Enjoying the Lane 1Q that was left in the bowl!

    Weird Christmas this year. One of my boys had a case of the hurls all day Friday. Other kid that lives at home and my wife both also felt crummy, but no barf. I had a mild touch of it earlier in the week, but managed to ignore it and work right through. No morning service for us, but we will...

    On deghosting, I did do the salt and alcohol when I got it, but only once. Might try that again. I have Carter Hall match, don't think I've ever tried it though.

    Yes, I did! Having some Epiphany in a Jost J185. I really like the look and feel of it, but I've come to the conclusion that there's a legion of ghosts in this thing. It ruins everything I put in it. Also, the bowl gets too hot no matter how slow I go. Time to kiss it goodbye?

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I had mentioned many pages ago that I had found a great spot to sit and have a pipe while I'm staying at the hotel I stay at one night a week for work. Then two weeks later, I ended up switching to a different company office and a different hotel, so I was back to square one. My only options...

    Your post reminded me I wanted to get some Port when I was in town yesterday. Poopers.

    Never could get the hang of Haunted Bookshop. Keeping it in case my tastes turn a corner. On the back porch smoking some Epiphany in a 673KS. Need to stop short and get ready for a dinner at church. Gotta clean up so I don't smell like SIN. :cool:

    Pretty sure the cats have put marks on your gatepost, and the flow of ferals will never stop!
