Seems obvious, right? But when I joined this board over 5 years ago, I spent a long time secretly doubting this wisdom. Then, the other day, I pulled out a Jose Padilla robusto from the cooler, first cigar I'd had in over 2 years and about 4 years old, as I recall. What a revelation!! It had...

I put this in another thread where it didn't really belong, so here it is by itself. I pretty much love all of the Gawith blends. I've got multiple tins of HoTW, Old Gowrie, 3 Noggins, and others. But I have no idea WHAT their blenders were thinking of when they put out XBlend!!! Oh, the...

And by that I mean living space. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around much, except in the Pipe Forum. Truth is, my heart has been won over by the briar. I'm in the process of inventorying the large cooler and the big humidor. Since I'm way behind in prices, it'll take some...

Multiple photos, with close-ups, of the pipe. At a minimum, both sides and top of the bowl, both sides of the stem, and the stampings, if any are legible. If it's a high-end or collectible pipe, a COMPLETE description of any chips, dings or other damage. Rapid responses to questions are a must...

Had 2 pipes arrive from eBay this weekend, a Grabow Viscount with a nice small bowl that will be good for flakes, and a no-name bulldog. Oh, 2.99 for both. Both were pretty hammered, like they'd been someone's yard pipes before they got to me. Set aside the Grabow, scrubbed off the bowl and...

Just looked at the stats at the bottom of the forum page and saw the above number along with 36 members. Isn't anyone working anymore??? :laugh: :laugh:

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotard on, the...

Some free advice: WORDS WOMEN USE FINE This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. FIVE MINUTES If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch...

If you're a La Luna fan, or have been curious, Gael appears to be back in business. Just got my long-delayed order of V2s and they look great. Something different, they are pre-clipped, which might bother some folks, but they draw beautifully. The Ecuadorian SG wrapper looks like Lindt...

I have an unopened Disney Learning package for toddlers. After I bought it, I learned that my grandson already had gone past this. Free to first PM. :)

CVM4, a fine young man, has finally spent to many days in the hot summer sun. His mind, weakened by high temperatures, lack of water, and who knows what kinds of mind-altering substances, has snapped. Making referrence to some sort of "bomb", he has sent me a package of extreme class that I...

Somebody who's name I don't recognize just blew up my mailbox with a small, but precise bomb!! A very nice fiver of some of my favs showed up today. Seriously, a big thanks to Mr. Niemann (whoever that is) for making my day a little more pleasant! :thumbs:

Why is Quicken seeing these drives as read-only? How do I correct this? (Pretty straight-forward, yes?) :)

Got my bill from the state today for the cigarettes I've bought online since 2001. The data was provided by two internet dealers under the Jenkins Act, and I now owe over $600 in back Stamp Tax and Sales Tax. :( :angry2: The back of the reporting form for future purchases had a category that...
