    Need Help Identifying Types Of Tobacco.

    Hehe, yeah, I only have one good briar pipe which I reserve for my Blue Mountain, but found that I didn't enjoy my EMP that much in my cob I decided to maybe switch it up to a larger beefier pipe, my peterson bulldog. Well.... after the first inhale all I could think was HOLY latakia batman...

    Pizza in a skillet

    I can dig that, and even home made pizza dough isn't hard and taste awesome if left to slow rise in the fridge. Being a New Yorker though I am skeptical of anyone calling anything that isn't a thin crust "pizza" though. :P Havn't made pizza in a while, always wanted to buy a pizza stone to...

    Suggestions for a good Earl Grey Tea?

    I usually go with Twinnings but it isn't spectacular, merely okay. I do however love their Lady Grey and Prince of Wales. I tried Trader Joe's but found it disgusting. I don't want to try another brand without recommendations lest I be stuck with another awful box like TJs.

    How To Make Cuban Coffee

    I have never been a coffee connoiseur myself, I've always preferred tea. I have no idea what Cuban coffee is and I have to google it in a bit however I do recognize the bitter flavoring agent of forced socialism by Isa Morena. :roll:

    bees & honey

    I love honey and I usually buy local honey that is made from specific flowers such as blue berries of buckwheat. I prefer raw honey with the impurities and pollen intact because that is where all the goodies are. There is no reason for me to eat the filtered stuff because I have allergies in...
