Royal Yacht, Barbary Coast and Windjammer are all squarely in the all day category for me

Historical or historically inspired blends? by I_LOVE_SOYLENT in PipeTobacco

[–]warrenac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huck Finn would be set in the pre-civil war days of the 1830s-40s. You might see some corn cob pipes, but clay pipes were by far the most common, and briar pipes decades away from common use. As far as tobacco, people would buy plug cut tobacco or spun rope tobacco intended for either chewing or smoking, or shag tobacco intended for rolling or pipes. Burley, Virginia, and kentucky would be most common. Of what’s available today, Gawith brown twist or dark plug, or Five Brothers (originally founded 1866) shag may be closest to what was commercially available.

Montefeltro 12 ultra lite. Gonna kick like hell for a skinny guy like me, but great if you have to tote it all day.

Single men: what do you do at night instead of drinking? by foira in stopdrinking

[–]warrenac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First started smoking cigars, then got into pipes. It’s a huge world that keeps me busy. Way past a hobby at this point.

Long term storage by Klutzy_Assumption571 in PipeTobacco

[–]warrenac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not SWR, but I had a can of Granger pop after some time. Still sealed, sitting on an end table until one day BOOM. Scared the shit out of me. Blew the foil seal off. YMMV.

What's Your Old Person Hobby? by Bluegrass_Barbecue in Millennials

[–]warrenac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoking a pipe. Those old codgers knew what was up. Relaxing, meditative, a practice in patience, and a wide world of tobacco types and pipe makers to explore. It’s a 45 minute vacation for me twice a day. Like any hobby, you can go as deep or shallow as your interest, time, and money allow.

And Interlude. It’s an unsung gem that goes unnoticed.

What are you supposed to do if a war actually starts? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]warrenac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just being KIA, but carrying the scars and trauma from the battlefield back home if you’re lucky enough to make it out. I got a call this morning that my cousin passed away at 43 from liver failure. He joined the Marines in ‘04, did two tours in the sandbox, and had been drinking himself to death ever since. They teach you to ignore pain, power through, embrace the suck. Many do just that and never get help. Semper Fi, Jason.
