    Where Are They?

    To that list I'd have to add Ol Dawg, Regor and Justpipes, all old timers to this forum and truly missed. And let us not forget Monbla, whose return we are still hoping for.

    Anyone seen anything on Netflix worth watching?

    El Tiempo Entre Costuras - The Time in Between. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1864750/ Good show! The wife found it on netflix, thought it was an indie movie but turns out it's a 17 part Spanish mini series about the WWII era when Spain was going through it's civil war and Germany was...

    Ahh... Kids are handful sometimes

    Just clean it up and smoke some Grousemoor through it, you'll never be able to tell. And if it tastes like ****, well, there's already butt cream on it :)

    "What Do You Need a Vehicle Like That For?"

    The only answer I could have come up with is "You don't like it, go back to that country where you probably can't afford a vehicle like this even if they'd let you buy one, which they probably wouldn't".

    The Ice Cream Man

    My wife grew up in the hood, 1970's to early 80's, mexican neighborhood with the lowriders everywhere and old grandmas sitting out in the yards under big shade trees. There was a big icecream truck in the neighborhood, about the size of a modern day food truck, but old and solid white with big...

    If Vacuum Sealing Stops Aging Does It Stop Lat Degradation?

    Aging and change does occur. There is no such thing as a way to preserve tobacco so that it will not change at all over anything other than a short time. I have cracked tins of McClelland virginia tobacco that are fresh, have several years and have as much as 20 years. Noticeable change takes...

    If Vacuum Sealing Stops Aging Does It Stop Lat Degradation?

    No, but you'll notice a difference. I've yet to smoke any tobacco a dozen years old or more and not notice a certain weakness in it.

    If Vacuum Sealing Stops Aging Does It Stop Lat Degradation?

    Vacuum sealing is less effective than tinning or jarring because it is less impervious to outside atmosphere. In other words, plastic is not as airtight as metal or glass over the long haul. Also, no form of storage prevents aging or change in the tobacco, as both aerobic and anaerobic change...

    I just realized something....

    I just checked TR, the description doesn't say it is red virginia but some reviews do. I think I'd have to go looking for a specific year of Christmas Cheer, perhaps.

    I just realized something....

    McClelland doesn't make a red virginia flake :scratch: I have been messing about mixing 2035 dark navy flake with other McClelland ginyweed (so far mixing it with 22 is producing the best results) and in the vein of their Red and Black I went looking (hopefully) for a bulk or tinned straight...

    Passing a pipe cleaner

    I think you nailed it. Not being able to pass a cleaner, and even the gurgling itself, is a symptom, not the problem. The problem is a poorly executed airway. Some pipes are inclined to poor airways because of severe bends, but still some makers are able to execute a very good airway in these...

    G and H Curly Cut

    No, the regular curly has a light virginia wrapper and is lighter in body and strength than the brown pigtail. The flavor and aroma are completely different.
