Re: Post Every Boring Aspect Of Your Mundane Life Thread
Smoking a cigar, listening to country music, and I mindlessly tapped the ash off the cigar before I took a picture of it. There's no going back now to getting a picture of the cigar with it's ash in place and it irks me a bit, takes me out of the whole Zen of smoking this cigar and listening to music. Also, the song that was playing was getting on my nerves so I skipped it, "By Your Side" by Beechwood Sparks, Alternative Country.

I finally decided to ditch Microsoft and Windows 10. Wish me luck on a successful install of Ubuntu. Probably not going to do a dual boot setup.

Overall quite an enjoyable smoke. Draw was a little tight in the beginning, might try a guillotine cut next time. Even burn the whole way, no corrections. Smooth smoke, very little burn on the retrohale in the first half. Second half became more flavorful the shorter it got with the best flavors at the nub. Sounds dirty, probably is. My experience level is still novice so whatever notes there are I couldn't identify this go around. Will likely buy a fiver next time.

Re: Cellaring
Put a pinch or two in a bowl, then cover the bowl with a very damp paper towel or cloth for 30-45 minutes. Don't allow the damp cloth to touch the tobacco....

In the fall of 2009 we heard the announcement that the Stanwell pipe-factory in Borup, Denmark, would close its doors at the end of that year due to poor returns and financial losses. Indeed a sad message, especially as Stanwell was the only remaining pipe-factory in Scandinavia. However, it did not mean that the Stanwell-pipe was dead but the owner, Scandivaian Tobacco Group (STG), had decided to move the production to Italy. So beginning in 2010, all Stanwell pipes are made there.
