Re: Your Blend Recipes

Thanks. I made a simple wood press so I will use that after I do the casing. Glad to see you using Burley , pip . Make a big batch :thumbs: I will start small. 1oz at a time. If its junk I didnt loose much. :barf: This is exactly how I started my experimentation. I'd make up a batch of casing and d...

Re: Your Blend Recipes

Thanks for replying. So the brown sugar water mix is a no go? I am using SWR for the tobacco. I would have replied earlier, but internet has been out for 6 days due to the pair of tornados that tore through Bowling Green. I live about 15 minutes northeast(directly in the path), and the funnel lifte...

Re: Your Blend Recipes

@mrpipster I’ve made twists in the past and had good luck with a rum based casing I added. According to my granddaddy brown sugar and rum/whiskey/white liquor go well together and work as a good treatment for a cough or sore throat. Lol. Anyway, a little bit of vinegar in your spritz will help keep...

Re: Politically Incorrect

The original no flush urinal = hole in the ground I went to summer camp for a few years when I was a kid, the building was so old that the bathrooms just had a porcelain wall with running water, everyone just walked up to it and let it flow. On a trip to Dublin I found that most of the old pub bath...

Re: Politically Incorrect

I don’t know what anybody can complain about in this thread. If anybody doesn’t want to talk politics or vent or blow off steam just don’t click on it. There’s been nothing out of line here to even mention. if you heart pipe tobacco, firearms, Constitutional Carry, large displacement engines, high ...

Re: If I had a time machine ..

I'd go back to 14 year old me, and teach myself all the guitar skills that 38 year old me knows. Then by the time I am 38 again, I would be a serious shredi-knight.

Re: Politically Incorrect

That said, and while I totally agree with all the sentiments in this thread, we might as well shred rule 5 on the code of conduct. There may as well not be a rule at all if the rule is arbitrarily enforced. I am all for absolute freedom of expression, but also consistency. Code of conduct revised: ...

Re: Politically Incorrect

Anyone who knows me personally, knows I am about as conservative as they come. I quit my cushy tech engineering job at 24 to join the Army and work on UH-60 Avionics, because the idealist in me wanted to actually contribute to protecting and defending the constitution, and rule of law. That said, an...

Re: Politically Incorrect

Using the phrase "Politically incorrect" itself sort of has you participating in being so. We used to just call it honesty. Politics in general is pretty insane - it's like watching people furiously debate over which pile of s#it is better to step in. I personally would rather not particip...
