Meh, the weather never really had much of an impact on what I smoke. I do tend to smoke more aros in the colder weather, but just because I tend to smoke indoors (not in the house but the in little workshop that does lead into house.)

That's funny. We still don't really let my son watch much TV. I bring him to MLS games so I thought I would let him watch a little of the World Cup and he loved it. Now I started letting him watch a little football and he keeps asking me "daddy where'd the football go, put it back" each time...

Hey PB, how do you like the Fire over the Roku? I was thinking about picking one up for the bedroom (the wife often hides up there when I watch Football). Its about twice the price of the Roku, but it will let me watch everything I want one device. Brewdude, If you haven't watched the History...

Ian, you raise a good point. For a long time I was perfectly happy with cable, I just didn't watch much of it. What really lit the fire under me was when Verizon started throttling Netflix. I was paying $200/ month for every channel under the sun and they saw fit to deliberately deprive me of...

Comcast is offering a deal that gives just internet service along with a subscription to HBO Go for $50/month, so I just signed up and will be ditching my $200 Fios bill very shortly. We really don't watch much TV anymore. I have a Roku for Netflix, Amazon, and MLB, and a Chromecast for HBO...

This sucks. I really like Margate, but it just isn't worth $50/ bag to me. :x

I think that P&C deal is really great for a new smoker. Getting a few cobs is a great idea, and I have heard good things about the blends (though I haven't tried any just yet).

Enjoy. I suggest handing off your wallet to a trusted friend, because left unchecked, you will soon find yourself justifying purchases measured in pounds rather than ounces. My advice: take everything you read with a grain of salt. I waited way too long to try some of my (now) favorite...

I haven't had any trouble today. But today is that giant internet slowdown protest thing. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/10/internet-slowdown-go-slow-google-youtube-net-neutrality

Finally got to try a few of the Tatuaje Black Label re-releases. Not too bad, but not what I was hoping for.

Burley, that's about it.

Congrats brother, my second is due that same day. It's a wild ride. We have two cats that predate my son by more than 10 years. They were...less than pleased...with his arrival. The fat one has excepted that his lot in life is to be hugged a little to hard by an over eager two year old. Skinny...

I understand the hubub over Penzance. I like it and it is somewhat unique. It's not worth the price people pay for it, but I can see paying a small premium for it. The demand for Balkan Sobranie leaves me scratching my head. Its not a bad tobacco, but its nothing special. There are far better...

2015 is a good choice. It represents the genre well and it will age very well. My tastes run toward straight VA blends, or blends that have smaller amounts of perique (like Hall o the Wynd). It's not that I don't like perique, but I just seem to really like blends that don't have too much of...

All gone.  :( 

Every person has his/her flaws. If you want to name your child after someone, its for the positive aspects of that person, not the flaws. In truth you cannot give your child and advantage, or disadvantage with a name. Choose a name that you like and leave it at that. Other people may voice their...

Haunted Bookshop is one I have been meaning to try for quite a while, but haven't gotten around to. I still have the better part of 8oz of OJK that I bought purely on its reputation and never developed a taste for. I love burley in all forms, but this one just didn't do it for me. Since the two...

I nearly spit my coffee all over my desk. Good one.

Mike, you are in good company. Our pipe club was named for Christopher Morley. Both Haunted Bookshop and Morley's Best were blended by one of our more prestigious members, Bob Runowski (who blended quite a few of the C&D Burley blends). If you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to come down...

Everyone says that its a life changing read. I had a sociology professor in college that insisted I read it (outside of the class). I just couldn't get into it. Whatever vibe folks were getting from it went over my head. I picked it up again a couple years ago, when we found out that we were...
