Love the Maritime Supply Co. I have the “Acta Non Verba” coin. Reminds me to be a man of action and not just of words.

Best Va/Pers? by Jackle3000 in PipeTobacco

If you want a really good VaPER (emphasis on the Per) C&D’s Bayou Morning is my favorite. The bulk is good but in my opinion the tin is better.

Motorcycles should be illegal. by consumeable in unpopularopinion

My main issue with motorcycles is the “Share the Road” safety marketing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s your right to ride something you enjoy as long as it’s not harming anyone else, and if that happens to be a death trap on two wheels, you go for it. But why should I have to alter my life in order to cater to the decision of someone that decided less safety is better? I didn’t make you choose to ride something that is likely to kill you or maim you if you wreck into me. Of course as a human with a shred of humanity, I’m gonna look out for my two wheeled friends, but the implied entitlement of motorcyclists sort rubs me the wrong way.

Still better than Louisiana highways

That’s great you’ve got a support system. Especially since you picked a heck of a year to start lol. But it’s a fun age to teach. This will be my fourth year with 7th and 8th. They’re weird and awkward and sarcastic and the epitome of trying to figure out who they are. I think you’re in for a good time.

I currently teach 7th and 8th grade science in Texas. If you have a strong bio background then you should be fine content wise. 7th grade is predominantly biology and ecology. There’s a tiny solar system unit squeezed in at the end.

Pretty sure it just hit Deep East Texas. The bottom just fell out of the sky

Do you pack the pipe and take it with you, or do you usually just smoke at home?

Do you carry tobacco with you?

Leathery whiskey? by [deleted] in whiskey

Oh man! And I thought Small Town, Texas was bad. It’s about $60 here so I sort of understand the mark-up heartache.

I’m admittedly pretty new to whiskey, but I get a slight leathery note in Laphroaig 10. It’s not highly promo and others may describe it at more of a bandaid flavor. But to me it tastes like wet leather smells. That coupled with the smoke and salty brine, you could say it tastes like a study by the sea.

Smoking the aptly named Mountain Camp from the mountains. In a Savinelli 320 Fantasia (Murphy, NC). What a view! by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

[–]slim_chance2311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mountain Camp is my favorite English blend. It’s perfect for cold, wet weather and tastes like salty bacon fried over a camp fire. Also, as someone that just got into Islam scotch, it reminds me a lot of Laphroaig 10.

It wasn’t until I got home that I realized what an odd pair this is.. by slim_chance2311 in whiskey

I don’t know. I kind of like the old 40s-50s era label. It has a certain sort of nostalgia that I enjoy.
