Re: What happened?

Just out of curiosity, when you say that the email system was compromised, does that mean that our email addresses were exposed? Any possibility that any data stored in the clear was also compromised? Only reason I ask is that a lot of folks still like to use the same password for everything, so if ...

Re: Cleaning Stems

Also, anyone know any good places for living? There's a move in planning. I've heard that Kentucky is the place to be. That and southern Missouri rural. I can vouch for Kentucky. People don't get excited about much here. Can't say I've had a negative interaction with a single person. Weather is goo...

Re: Dunhill / Peterson Elizabethan and some ribbon cut thought

@Houtenziel whats the moisture content like on sutliff's match? I absolutely hate drying tobacco but obviously it has to be done The stuff I got was bulk and it was ready to smoke without any drying. In fact it was probably more on the crispy side. I hate drying stuff too, and my laziness being wha...

Re: New to me Newminster Light Burley

Never had a Newminster blend that let me down. SRS(403) is particularly good. I chop it up and sprinkle it over salads in place of bacon bits.

Re: Dunhill / Peterson Elizabethan and some ribbon cut thought

I am still torn between the Sutliff match and the Pete version of Elizabethan. I smoked so much of the match that now I feel like that's how it's supposed to taste. There is a lot to be said for the STG/Dunhill cut, but I find myself liking the slightly chunkier Sutliff cut lately. It always burns c...

Re: Clenching

Left for pipe, right for cigars. And if we are gonna get really into sides, I tend to put the snus pouch on the left side upper lip. Snuff typically is right side biased due to broken nose having more flow on that side. Just please don't start a thread asking which side we dress on...

Re: How Soon Do You Know?

How long do you give a pipe before you decide you just don't like it? I'm a 100% clencher and when I get a new pipe in I immediately take it out of the box (clean if an estate), stand up straight, pop it into my bite and have my mind made up almost instantly. It either fits or it doesn't. This pret...

Re: Gulag or Customer Service

I've never understood this behavior. To me, this is chickenshit extortion. I've only ever been comped a meal one time in my life. I ordered some black eyed peas, and found a pebble in there and the waiter noticed it on the edge of my plate. I was not concerned.. if you've ever looked through dried b...
