Yes the DNA match thing is quite interesting, Found out about 2 years back (after 50 plus years) I had 2 half brothers (one deceased) and 2 half sisters, It can be exciting and interesting as well as dredge up a ton of mystery and many un·answered questions. Being adopted one always wonders...

Yep Roku, lots of choices many are free I use it to acess Netflix, Hulu  mostly.   I have watched a few free movies on Crackle and listened to music,  And its portable so you can take it with you if you have internet access. Cost about the same as a hyped up ebay estate pipe :P  what a bargain !

It was good to meet a fellow member of BoB boards, I enjoyed the show and the good conversation. Its been a busy spring first chance I've had to log on and read the board since the show. Next time I'm out near Cary I'll stop and check out Tobacconist of Cary and see the changes its been a...

Had a brother send me a sample to try, was quite strong. as the old saying goes, That'll put hair on your chest ! Too strong for me but always good to try new things.

Looking forward to the TAPS show it will be my 3rd time there. Cant smoke in the building (unless something has changed this year) but there are tables in a covered area right outside the door where you can. And the weather is looking good sunny with a low of 50 and high of 72 should be a...

What thought process lead the first guy who ever did this to the inspiration to swell his forehead and dimple it to look like a bagel. *puzzled* :shock: "Yall watch this!" had to be part of the equation. I sure his parents are proud.....

Yes looking forward to it, booked my room weeks ago, I went last year had a grand time. been planning to return all year. Just 7 days to go I can hardly wait. Better than Christmas to me. :bounce:

Yes hard to find anywhere where smoking ands socializing with others can happen. I think often how nice it would be to have such a place. I though about finding some land and setting up like a camp ground with a lodge type enviroment where folks could get away, kinda like pipe camp. Have a...

Yep, smoke control while clenching and breathing. Active smoking like while multi-tasking working or driving . But not when I can just sit and smoke if I have a free hand its not as nessasary.

Reminds me of the Italian souviner pipes I see for sale. here is an example. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271031430302?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D271031430302%26_rdc%3D1 I have often wondered what deamons the pipe carvers of these pipes struggle with? what is...

I've tried a couple of the Sterling flavors, Tavern and Old Dominion, I liked the Tavern best Old Dominon was very mild and subtle I like a little more zest. It seems a high quality tobacco when time and money allow I hope to try a few more.

I agree with you I finally got to try some and it was ok, but I couldn't see the grand reputation which had preceded trying it. I didn't dislike it nor did I think it was a gift of the gods. it was just ok, perhaps it will take alot more smoking to fully make a judgement. But here is the...

That is cool nice work, a briar knife clever idea. :)
