    Stonehaven...I don't get it

    Alrighty, tried it today in a 1/8 bent dublin with a smaller bowl...rubbed out the flakes and dried them overnight, which might have been too long as they were almost bone dry. Loaded up and tried it and well, much better, but still no shining 4 stars for me, and my tongue is scorched as well...

    Stonehaven...I don't get it

    Purchased 8oz back in Oct. and found it to be extremely flat, almost tasteless, like smoking air or steam...I just couldn't get any flavor at all. Tried it again today after 5 months or so and I find it almost the same, I got a tiny bit of a sour nuttiness when I puffed like a mad man scorching...

    Drink Recipes

    probably not as good as that banana colada but one I enjoyed for a mild drink [depending on the amount of vodka...] was a monkey's lunch...basically a white russian with an ounce of banana liqueur

    Favorite Book?

    The Bible is the only thing I read a lot, but if I had to choose a fav book [and I don't really like reading...] it would be Fahrenheit 451. Just ordered on amazon a 2 in 1 book...2 book put together back to back...Animal Farm and 1984 I think it is... I tend to like books involving a political...

    Good Cheap Cigars

    I second the connies as a great cigar...smoked a couple dozen over the past 4 or 5 years and only had 2 or 3 bad sticks, and for just over $20 a bundle from JR, not bad at all...my pastor and I each smoked one today, now he wants a bundle!

    CheapHumidors.com

    I have a 100ct humidor from them that I had problems with originally until I kind of figured everything out..originally I only had it about 50% or less filled with cigars and not knowing how often to add water...I now keep it almost all the way filled with cigars and add water maybe once a month...

    Estimating How Much Tobacco You Smoke - Experiment

    I don't think I've ever finished a tin :oops: I'm addicted to trying new blends, so I buy tins, smoke a few bowls, jar it and move on to the next tin...plus at best I smoke a bowl a day or every other day, but I have been known to go weeks and even a month or so without smoking

    Experiences with Clay Pipes

    I enjoy clays as well, very clean and dry smoke once you get used to the mouthpiece. I love the tavern clays, they offer the coldest smoke I've ever tasted. I have a clay pipe with a vulcanite stem, it's a very cool smoke..it's not a porcelain but an actual clay 8)
