Got my mystery cigar in today from @whopper. I’ll let it acclimate for a bit before smoking and attempting my review/guess.

For anyone going this weekend, i'll be the one with a red rose.

New pipe day with some Haunted Bookshop

Stuck a couple of cigars in a mason jar in the oven for 5 hours at 200F this weekend. The wrapper was noticeably darker than when it went in and the smell was delightful. No apparent damage. Going to let them sit in the humidor for a few weeks to settle down and then I'll give one a try.

Ah, that doesn't seem very convenient then. Ha

Join us at the Herf later this month and I'll bring some!

Laws Whiskey House

I will be there with bells on

T this is great info! I’m gonna go for it and see what happens!

Alright, so I’ve been reading a lot about stoving pipe tobacco recently in order to improve and bring out new flavors. That led to me thinking about applying the same process to cigars. I’ve got a handful of sticks that I don’t really care for. Would I be insane to do this? I imagine it would...

I’ll take it!

New tin of Saint Espresso out of a new clay pipe. Vacation is treating me well

Not this year, I've been at a vendor booth for the last few years, so I'm taking a break this year haha

Are they any good? That's a ridiculous price

I'm starting to feel this exact same way...seeing as I mostly smoke a pipe while I'm puttering around the garage, I don't quite see the need for a fancy briar right now.

Am I crazy, or is it easier to smoke a corn cob vs a briar? I feel like I am able to keep a bowl lit longer and without as much effort in a cob vs my briar pipes. Thoughts? Anyone else have a similar or opposite experience?

I mean variable as in weight, which is why they drain it. Tires also vary in weight from car to car depending on how many laps they've done on them, so I think its weird that they don't remove those as well. The teams know that, so its obviously on them to make sure they're compliant. I just...

No no, you're 100% right. Rules are rules, every other driver did not have an issue with weigh in, so it was definitely on Mercedes. I think the point I was trying to make was that it seems silly to exclude one variable weight factor (fuel) for the weigh in and include the only other variable...

That seems to be the leading theory...I think it would be entirely reasonable to request a fresh set of tires for the weigh in if they allow drivers to pick up marbles in the other races. Or they should just weigh the cars beforehand.

I'm confused why both Mercedes cars wouldn't weigh the same. Absolutely crushing for Russel I'm sure, but rules are rules.
