Did you win those tubs Ranger? I just got the P&C email about their SWR going on sale today, but it's still $24.17 for 7 oz. tub. That's almost as much as a tub of Captain Black, which is ridiculous IMHO lol

I had to make a trip to Lakeview on Tuesday for work and not only did they have an ACE hardware, but it had Strike Anywhere matches! The matches and the beautiful drive almost made up for the fact that the "important" meeting I made the trip for could have been easily summed up in a short email...

That's what I thought because I remember seeing them there my whole life, but that's no longer the case, in my neck of the woods at least.

I've found myself using matches, over lighters, with increasing frequency to smoke my pipes lately. All I can find at my locally though is the terrible, thin, and anemic green tipped variety of matches that became ubiquitous somehow. For some reason the "strike anywhere" variety is nowhere to...

Aussie's lobster post reminded me of this one.

I've read all his articles about cellaring, aging, and storing tobacco but must have missed the one about humidity. Your hot tub story had me laughing because it sounds like something I would have tried 😅 of course knowing my luck, the bowl would have tipped over and made a whole batch of...

I live in a fairly dry climate (15% humidity is about average). I've tried humidifying packs, tin foil with wet paper towels, etc. Boveda packs and the other methods just become too much of a hassle when I started amassing more jars lol. These days I just spritz/mist a little water directly into...

Captain Black and Half and Half are my two favorite codger blends. They're both sweet in different ways, like having a pastry (captain black ) versus some gummy bears (half and half). If it was summertime and I had to pick one, it would be half and half. Right now if I had to pick one, it would...

My too bud lol! I like some tobacco fresh out of the can though, Orlik Golden slices is better fresh than aged in my opinion, when I'm in the mood for some fresh and citrusy Virginia. Sixpence and Hado's Delight might taste better with some age, and I intended to cellar a bunch of them, but the...

Ya, it's definitely a change. I used to hate baking because the gluten free recipes always turned out so bad, until I stopped using "gluten free" recipes and just substituted gf flour in regular ones. Those gluten free recipes always have to include some hippie-dippy things so you can make them...

I always keep a can of those cinnamon rolls on hand and throw them in the air fryer when I'm in the mood. I always feel guilty, like a husband drinking and eating sushi in front of his pregnant wife, whenever I eat gluten in front of my wife though lol!

I've been baking a lot more this year, mostly sweets like pie crusts, cookies, and cakes mixes (if that counts) I made some honey-walnut bars 2 days ago that have mysteriously disappeared... Unfortunately my wife can't eat gluten and that was quite a hurdle until I figured out that every brand...

hmmm, well I'm going to have to chalk it up to my damn tastebuds lol.

I've only smoked a few tins of GL Pease, Haddo's delight, and Six pence. I loved them both from the first bowl and finished them in record time. I ordered another 2 oz tin of six pence before I really stocked up and it tastes completely different from the first tin. It has noticeably less flavor...

Well the puppy was a big hit with the girls yesterday, other than going pee I don't think he touched the floor the whole time lol. Before I go to town on some thanksgiving leftovers I'm having some GH American delite in a medico gold crest billiard. This stuff is aptly named because I've...

A bowl of GH dark flake aromatic before we head out to the ranch for the festivities. I've only smoked about 1.5 oz. but it definitely has the strongest and intense flavor of all the GH blends I've tried, so it's a top contender to stock up on... But it was a poor choice for the first bowl of...

Every old western I have watched has a that one scene where they go to turn up the only lamp in a dark room room, and it magically lights up every corner of the room, because they're really just turning up the stage lights lol. Kind of like how guns in the movies never need to be reloaded!🤣

This is the first metal one I have used and it's a Dietz, it's a good design... Other than the crack in the globe! The color they put off is truly unique and it doesn't flicker like a candle or fire does. Growing up, we had a collection of glass oil lamps, every night we lit 2 on the table for...

My two buddies and I try to grab lunch once a month but with prices lately we have decided to just cook it ourselves instead of going out lol, so we made some fantastic French dips today and shot the breeze. Smoking late night smoke of GH American Delite in my Dr. Grabow Riviera Dublin. I've...

I thought the same thing! But from what I could gather, as a layman, this different stamping and nomenclature is unique to the 1976 Red Barks. I could be wrong though because I couldn't even find another Dunhill from 1976 that was stamped on the bottom, besides other Red Barks.
