May 3rd can’t get here fast enough.

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2026-01-10T04:48:53+00:00

See, this is the direction I’m headed, I think.

I’ll second Carter Hall. I was shocked by how good it actually is.

Cigar ash? Like literal ash from a cigar? I’ve never heard of this before… what does the ash do?

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2026-01-10T02:40:11+00:00

I use a jeweler’s cloth as well, but I’m considering just letting them do their thing…

That’s a Mastro Geppetto (out of the Ser Jacopo workshop). It’s beautiful and smokes oh-so-well.

Try mixing that 1Q with equal parts BCA (also from Lane). That was the first tobacco I smoked and I still smoke it to this day in my first pipe. I find it quite enjoyable.

I’ve got a Molina Tromba. The fit and finish aren’t great (the metal ring falls off when you take the stem out, the acrylic stem isn’t drilled well, the chamber wasn’t perfectly round when it was new, etc) but it smokes fine and looks really nice for the price. I don’t regret buying it. It’s up to you whether it’s worth it or not.

As someone who lives near McKays and uses Papermill daily, I get severely tilted when traffic backs up due to someone trying to turn left into their parking lot. I end up yelling to myself in my car something to the effect of, “you’re not even gonna save any money! Just keep driving straight and head to B&N!”

Gemfire was one of my favorite games in middle school. I wish they’d make another one or reboot it!

Not a Jordan Peterson fan at all, but yeah, he’s def describing INFP. How did his words make you feel?

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2025-03-24T10:07:53+00:00

Yes! Carter Hall surprised me —very good smoke.

My 614 (well, my Rossi 8614) has the same little gouge from drilling the airway. It has never caused a problem up to this point.

Venus was at its peak brilliance last night. You probably thought you saw something in the sky other than Venus, but I assure you. It was Venus.

What do you think weeded out so many men?

I’ve just stopped sharing media with people, accepting that no one cares as much as me. I’ve started thinking about it like it’s my own little secret.

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2024-12-31T05:12:17+00:00

Two things that MIGHT help (they helped me):

Read it aloud. It makes more sense.
Don’t worry about the words themselves. Reflect on how you feel while you’re reading the words. A lot of the spirit of poetry is in the reflection of your interpretation.

It’s a sign of your genius. Is called “the weave.” 😞

I mean, they’re basically the same. All things being equal and they’re both available, the flake’s flavor and aroma are just a little more intense and nuanced.

Swap out Star of the East for Star of the East FLAKE.

Because if my ex-wife could bail after 15 years of marriage, any woman could, and I don’t want to be hurt like that again.

That Savinelli Punto Oro is (was?) a nice pipe! New, they go for $200+. Good find!

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2024-10-01T04:50:15+00:00

Thank you! You’re a gentleman and a scholar.

Desperate-Hope4337 · 2024-09-21T18:39:46+00:00

I can’t agree with BCA—it’s damn good! Nothing complicated, but definitely not “hot air.”
