    Tins You Won’t Open?

    LOL, you'll be the first one I think of when I'm ready to pass them on. Tastes change over time so I'm hesitant to make hasty decisions. I've been grateful about that on many occasions. But EMP was one I lost a taste for and got rid of. When I came back to it years later it was on the...

    SOTD: Shave of the day

    Has anyone ever used a Muhle R41? I've read it is one of the more aggressive safety razors out there and might get one. Proraso Red, Jagger DE89, Feather blade, no name brush

    Tins You Won’t Open?

    Thing is they're all Lat blends and it and Latakia isn't agreeing with me lately. It'll pass I'm sure.

    I have a bunch of tins here that I'll prolly not get to. The Murray era Dunhill tins are there just aging away.

    Question on blade use

    I get about 10-12 shaves out of a blade. My beard is really thick so I go through blades pretty quickly. I could stretch it more but ingrown hairs become problematic when I have to use more pressure.

    I Swear, I Think I Like Buying and Aging Tobacco More Than I Do Smoking It...

    Better to have it and not need it, right?

    Mac Baren Virginia No.1 or Newminster No.400 or?

    Stokkebye LTF. I think most Virginia blends will have at least a smidgen of Burley in them to keep the bite away. Or so I've heard. MacB Va. #1 has a reputation for smoking hot and biting so just be careful. It could give you an unfair opinion of Ginny weed if it's your only reference.

    Like Hyenas on a Wildebeest!

    Are people still as loco for FVF as they used to be? Boy, it was all the rage about a decade ago. :ROFLMAO:

    Disappointing tobacco

    The SG I liked a little better than the GH personally. The GH tasted a little like Nestle Quick. Neither one was a mainstay in my rotation.

    Aging Va/pers

    My experience has been that anything with Virginia tobacco in it does pretty well aging. Some people say the changes are sublime but I'm not a super taster or anything, so all I can say is it gets a little mellower and perhaps tastier with some age. Elizabethan Mixture would a great one to try...

    Horrible Pipe [suggestions]

    I think a a lot of Savinellis are fitted for a balsa filter insert. I've been fond of the Savinellis I've had over the years. Good pipes.

    Stokkebye

    I thought Uhle's was good choice for Burleys but Stokkebye was a little better with bulk Virginias and Vapers. Been a while, so things could have changed.

    Broken Pipe Brewdude Rande Reed

    What a shame to just see this now. I liked Rande a lot and we exchanged pipes, tobaccos and fellowship over the years. We were both AZ boys. God bless him and condolences to his family.

    The Most Dangerous Way to Drink Your Coffee, According to Science

    I think drinking really hot coffee (think McDonald's coffee pre lawsuit) would present more immediate danger. :unsure:

    Slap Bass

    His content is mostly puerile but he plays his ass off. I'd love to hear him cover some of Jaco's stuff.
