Honeybee deaths have hit record highs in the US, with the unprecedented loss of colonies pushing many beekeepers close to ruin as scientists scramble to identify the main cause of the huge declines.

Commercial beekeepers have reported losing more than 60% of their colonies, on average, over the winter, according to an ongoing Project Apis m. survey that covers more than two-thirds of America’s managed bees.

This enormous rate of decline is higher than record reductions seen last year and is on track to be the “biggest loss of honeybee colonies in US history”, according to Scott McArt, an associate professor of entomology at Cornell University

Those pipes may work with flake tobacco which has been pressed and burns longer in the same space.

Re: Stupid pipe **** that pops into my head.

These little pipes I bought for work, although good quality, have bowls that are just too small. By the time I get the tobacco burning well, I'm at the bottom of the bowl. Need to find some pipes with larger, deeper chambers.

Re: $300 lighter vs $3 lighter

I know a couple of heavy hitters on here that light their cigars off of 100 dollar bills when the DuPont just won't do.

I use gasket boxes and Bovidas, but I feel coolers are the best option due to less temperature fluctuation.

The downside for coolers for me is….

I prefer many relatively smaller totes over a cooler. If something did go wrong, bugs or mold, fewer cigars would be affected

LOL, I actually cannot remember which individual gave it to me but it did come from the Herf. I thought, maybe Wayne? Just as likely to be Jeff or Frank.
