[09:57] <teddy-dbear> Morning peoples, critters and everything else
[12:30] <waltman> ./21
[12:30] <waltman> oops
[12:30] <waltman> MORNING!
[13:39] <MutantTurkey> yes
[13:39] <MutantTurkey> ChinnoDog: we do
[13:39] <MutantTurkey> we have 2 loungesthough
[13:40] <MutantTurkey> one downtown, which has some seating in the store and then a bar upstairs
[13:40] <MutantTurkey> and in the northeast, which is our retail operations center and also our members lounge
[15:03] <waltman> ffs, I just rebooted a day and a half ago, and I have a message saying I need to reboot again for some other changes.
[15:04] <waltman> This is linux. I shouldn't have to reboot 3x a week for updates.
[16:04] <teddy-dbear> yes you should. you can always go back to Windows which never tells you you have to reboot it just does it for you
[16:04] <teddy-dbear> or something close to that
[16:58] <waltman> Actually it does both!
[17:01] <ChinnoDog> MutantTurkey: Have you sampled all the merchandise?
[17:02] <jthan> MutantTurkey: can you get me a deal on some DE Javas? haha
[17:02] <MutantTurkey> most of the merchandize i have tried at one tme or another
[17:02] <MutantTurkey> jthan: srsly?
[17:02] <jthan> lol I mean...
[17:02] <jthan> If you had a serious means I wouldn't be opposed to working something out.
[17:02] <jthan> They're one of my favorites. Unfortunately I find they don't benefit much from aging.
[17:02] <MutantTurkey> you need to smoke some better cigars bro
[17:03] <MutantTurkey> I've never found a infused cigar that aged well
[17:03] <ChinnoDog> Tell us about good cigars.
[17:03] <jthan> I don't smoke them often. Right now I've got a full humidor of these
[17:03] <jthan> http://www.leafbyoscarcigar.com/shop/leaf-by-oscar/
[17:03] <MutantTurkey> I would stick to reputable brands in the 8-12 dollar price range
[17:03] <MutantTurkey> anything Fuente or Pepin is basically a slam dunk
[17:03] <jthan> I smoke other stuff from RP/DE. Padron natural 3000's aren't a bad choice
[17:04] <jthan> I usually stick to my pipe.
[17:04] <jthan> Bust out the cigars when I'm sharing.
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> also, Ashton, Tatjue, San Cristobal, La Aroma De Cuba, Oliva, Padron,
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> jthan: what kinda pipe ya got
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> what ya smokin in it? any good mixes?
[17:04] <jthan> Have a few. My favorite is a Savinelli. Goto tobacco is usually dunhill elizabethan or orlik golden sliced
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> been jizzin over this delicious 'old dublin' stuff from peterson lately, it's great
[17:04] <jthan> ooh old dublin is nice
[17:04] <jthan> a little heavy for me
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> Try out some peterson mixes if you get a chance
[17:04] <jthan> I tend to get bit from peterson blends
[17:04] <MutantTurkey> they're all around good, though their aromatics aren't so good imo
[17:05] <MutantTurkey> I have a few pipes, like 3 petersons, 2 Kaywoodies ( i love them ), and a handful of corncobs floating around
[17:05] <jthan> I'm a big dunhill guy. My goto english at this point is missisippi river from the seattle pipe club
[17:05] <jthan> kaywoodies are so awesome for the price!
[17:05] <MutantTurkey> ja
[17:05] <MutantTurkey> dude e-bay
[17:05] <MutantTurkey> so many great pipes on ebay
[17:06] <jthan> I've got two savs and two petersons. That usually is enough for me. Keep one smaller pete at work
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> i just keep getting more and more
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> they hand them out once an a while at work
[17:06] <jthan> haha. I'm never going to be a daily smoker if I had to guess.
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> idk where they all went though... i am so unorganized
[17:06] <jthan> So no sense in me buying too many.
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> probably one in each car, two at home, 4 on the rack here
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> jthan: well, different pipes for different occasions
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> imo
[17:06] <MutantTurkey> i have a nice big bulldog one i use for loner smokes
[17:07] <jthan> I do want a bulldog at some point
[17:07] <jthan>  I think it's such a rad looking style
[17:07] <MutantTurkey> corncob for on the go or ridiuckously long smokes
[17:07] <jthan> Also if I ever felt like I had to spend multiple hundreds on a pipe I'd get a castello probably
[17:07] <MutantTurkey> meh
[17:08] <jthan> their bent pots for some reason appeal to me
[17:08] <MutantTurkey> two corncobs definitely worth it
[17:08] <MutantTurkey> http://corncobpipe.com/macarthur-classic-corn-cob-pipe.html
[17:08] <MutantTurkey> the macarthur is ridiculously fun to smoke
[17:08] <MutantTurkey> and anything from the cobbit line, http://corncobpipe.com/the-wizard-cobbit.html lince long churchwarden style good for while you're working
[17:08] <jthan> Can honestly say I've seen it but haven't smoked one.
[17:08] <MutantTurkey> corncobs are very underrated
[17:09] <jthan> Oh I don't mind a cob
[17:09] <jthan> And I do think they smoke really well
[17:09] <jthan> most of them*
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> depends
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> if you get a junky one just buy another pipe they're dirt cheap
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> and you can' really fuck em up
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> worse case you burn em and then just chuck it
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> http://corncobpipe.com/10-pipe-grab-bag-of-smokable-seconds.html
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> for 30 bucks you get 10 pipes
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> good for having around if you have friends that like cigars and might wanna try a pipe
[17:09] <jthan> I usually keep a $5-10 on hand to hand out for a friend
[17:09] <jthan> ^ exactly.
[17:09] <MutantTurkey> right
[17:09] <jthan> if they want to try a pipe
[17:10] <MutantTurkey> ayup
[17:12] <ChinnoDog> What makes a corncob a corncob? I'm guessing it is not literally a cob of corn.
[17:12] <jthan> It is!
[17:13] <ChinnoDog> oh. So a drilled out cob that has been finished?
[17:13] <jthan> Yeah, usually the inside is not very finished at all
[17:13] <jthan> just the outside has a coating to protect it
[17:13] <ChinnoDog> They must wear out or go limp or something after awhile.
[17:14] <jthan> "go limp"
[17:14] <jthan> lol
[17:14] <jthan> They do "wear out" over time. But so do briarwood pipes. That amount of time tends to be a VERY large number of smokes though.
[17:15] <jthan> Tobacco doesn't burn as hot as people imagine though
[17:15] <jthan> especially if you smoke it right...
[17:16] <ChinnoDog> I was thinking more about moisture from your breath being absorbed on the interior.
[17:16] <jthan> and moisture from the burning tobacco
[17:17] <jthan> but, you let them rest between smokes, keep a pipe cleaner in there to absorb a lot of it, and store it in a way that it "drains"
[17:17] <jthan> it isn't too significant
[17:19] <MutantTurkey> tyup it's literally made out of corn
[17:20] <MutantTurkey> depends on how the wear out
[17:20] <MutantTurkey> if you smoke em hard, no resting, etc it can cause problems
[17:20] <MutantTurkey> but in my experience not to much work needs to be dne to keep them in good shape
[17:20] <jthan> Less than briar, imo
[17:20] <jthan> Less cake in a cob for me
[17:24] <ChinnoDog> Next time I am in Philly will have to smoke some cigars.
[17:24] <jthan> we should go meet up there.
[17:24] <jthan> I may be planning a trip in August/September
[17:24] <jthan> I know that's awhile out
[17:38] <ChinnoDog> September would be better for me. My lease ends in August and idk where I am going yet.
[17:39] <jthan> Yeah, I'd probably rather come in September anyway
[17:39] <jthan> in hopes of it being slightly cooler
[17:39]  * ChinnoDog moves into a pile of cardboard boxes where rent is affordable
[17:39] <jthan> You don't want to move here, then...
[17:39] <jthan> $1390/750 sq. feet 1BR
[17:53] <MutantTurkey> i have to move... stinks
[17:53] <MutantTurkey> in june
