Plume

Corey562

I have smoked a few cigar that have devolpe plume "I believe itis called" on them as for pipe tobacco I was gifted a few cans of no. 22 Virginia that had been sitting in a buddies home for I dont know how long. Well upon opening one of the cans I noticed that sugar cystals had formed on the tobacco. I have to say it is a sweet smoke...

@Corey562 I was watching a Muttnchhops Piper video when he was discussing the difference between mold on tobacco and a plume. I haven't been stockpiling tobacco long enough to have a plume form ... and it's quite possible aromatic blends don't get a nice looking plume like that. Beautiful pipes in the background.

@ghostsofpompeii I know Virginia will get cause of the high sugar content I dont know about aromatics. And thank you I spend a good bit of time making pipes after work. Those are some I still need to polish out.

@Corey562 The fact that you made the pipes makes it even cooler. There is no reason in the world for you to be out buying pipes when you can make something as awesome as that. I really admire and envy you guys with the talent to make stunning pipes that most of us dream of owning. I can whittle a stick to a sharp point but that's about the extent of my woodworking skills.

@ghostsofpompeii you can check them out on instagram at abbbrown92 or on a favebook page custom pipes. I have quite a few made.

@Corey562 I have to be satisfied with what you show here at the site because I don't have an instagram or Facebook account. I'm a pretty off the grid sort of guy with the exception of a few forums I support. I don't even own a cell phone. My wife has a cheap flip phone for emergencies ... but the only time we use the phone is for emergencies. Which I think we've had once.

To show you how behind the times I've remained I'm the moderator and owner of two Yahoo Horror groups. That's right Yahoo. Nearly everyone has left for the bells and whistles of Facebook. A few members have peeled off and started a group with pretty much the same members but for the greener pastures of Facebook. I understand their leaving, as many are younger members more in tune with added features and technology Facebook provides over the simplicity of a Yahoo forum, and I've stubbornly kept the groups going with it's dwindling membership, but I kind of liked the intimacy of the early Yahoo groups and have tried keeping that initial 'keep it simple stupid' philosophy alive. The old forums like Yahoo were more about developing friendships and less about the bells as whistles. 

For instance, the changes here are nice ... but clicking things like 'LIKE' isn't as intimate as actually answering  with a response - which is what I fear may eventually start to happen. I've begun doing it myself. But I feel that is someone has taken the time to write a message or post a picture an actual word or two of response is better than clicking 'LIKE'.

@ghostsofpompeii I hear you. I am still a fan of the written word, still write letters and mail them to people something about receiving a letter some one took the time out of their day to write just makes it personal.

Just had two more posts disappear as soon as I hit POST COMMENT.

I gave up after the second disappearance. Maybe they'll show up later????

Corey562

@motie2 I have had that happen a couple times my self.

motie2

Just had another comment disappear as soon as I hit POST MESSAGE.

What I tied to post was: I have not used the "buttons" and I won't.

It seems so puerile.

I've had it happen too, I sent a second message to reiterate what didn't send. The original showed up after I sent that one.

If one has something to say (type?) say it.

No

Alright well I have opened the bag of woodbridge only to find that the Virginias are crystallized with suger looks to be a fine bag guess all that is left is to jar it all up. What a lucky find.

motie2

Well, I gave in. Everyone else is clicking like social media fans, so I will, too.

Corey562

Alright opened a can of patriot flake that was given to me and once again nice and sparkly it has been a lucky year for me and tobacco.

PappyJoe

@motie2 - it's about time you joined the party.

motie2

1. Shovel
2. Horse
3. Beat until dead
4. Continue

PappyJoe

@motie2 - we get it. You prefer to respond in words rather then clicking a button.

ghostsofpompeii

@PappyJoe I'll continue doing both.

motie2

As have I since we.... uh....met. Is that what this is all about?

If one has something to say (type?), one should say (type) it.
