    Captain Black - redux

    So, I finally had the chance to try my aged Captain Black and I have to say it was a real treat. I know my grandfather smoked it exclusively back when I was a kid and maybe it's the nostalgia, but it was one of the nicer smokes I've had. A light hint of some sort of topping, along with a simple...

    Lost a tree

    During the bad storms this week here in NC, I lost a tree I'm estimating at roughly 110 feet. This is a monster. I've spend most of the week trying to cut this sucker up, but it's slow going as this oak is hard as nails.

    Calling any "hat guys"

    I just took a look at this thread again, and I love that it's gotten so popular. I think it's cool that so many men were nice hats. Here is a picture of my little guy, who's taken a real fancy to my everyday fedora. It's a cheapy, and he looks a lot better in it than daddy.

    Screw up # 462

    Natch! Isn't that the truth. Me: "Oh, look. It won't be a big deal to cut towards me just a little. I won't push the knife too hard." For me, those were famous last words. Now, $6000 in cold hard cash later, and a finger that will never be the same? Well, all I have to say is that every screw...

    Calling any "hat guys"

    Fuzz and Kyle, thanks. I bought a nice, light and airy linen hat yesterday that I think will work for these hot days. I have often walk across the campus and I need something stylish to wear as I traverse under our hot sun. :) I looked at a nice straw hat as well, but couldn't afford both. :(

    Calling any "hat guys"

    Okay, need help from you guys again. I can't find a freakin R/N number for this product, but I want to find where to buy it. I bought a hat, very similar to this one... It's not quite the same, but the closest I can find. The brand name on the label is "Kenny K." but heck if the interwebs...

    Calling any "hat guys"

    Okay, I'll be the first to admit it, I'm totally going bald, am growing a "yamika" on the back of my pate and need to wear a hat at all times. Well, at least while outside. I get burned to a cinder. Up until recently I've been a "baseball cap" guy, but I found this awesome hat that I will call a...

    10 year old Captain Black 14oz tin

    My dad found an old tin of Captain Black that I bought before my wife and I met, which makes it 8-10 years old. I popped the top on it and it's still really moist and has an amazing bouquet. So, the question is, do I smoke it straight or should I use it as a blending tobacco for other cavendish...

    My Crazy Job

    Yeah, I think I need some sort of mean-a$$ tat. Don't have one yet, but as soon as I reach a certain life-goal, I WILL be getting one. :)

    Found fabulous cigar shop in Charleston, SC

    Please indulge my idiocy here... <Warning, this is about cigars, not our beloved pipes!> We just returned from a very hot and humid trip to Charleston. However, while there I had the pleasure of finding Havacigar. It's a little tiny, hole-in-the-wall joint, with the actual address of 54 1/2...

    My Crazy Job

    Do you think I can convert my Ram 1500 into this? it might mess up my paint job, but then again, with that kind of armaments, no one will be looking at the paint. LOL

    I'm not leaving.

    Wouldn't be BoB if we didn't hijack a thread. LOL Doing well, trying to exercise as much as possible, and working long, crazy days. I troll thread when I can at work, but I rarely have any time at home to post. Mainly because we've been barely home past 10-11 at night, and that's bed time for...

    My Crazy Job

    I have been absent lately not by choice, but by necessity. We're in our ten hour work days, which generally means 11 hours at work. My family now has a YMCA membership so we're at the pool or exercising in some way most days of the week. This week being an anomaly because we have company from...
