Good smoke for cooling fall days.
This is a dark fired burley with some kick to it. Paired with a black tea with honey.
Whittled a tamper this afternoon. Nice hand feel but next one I’ll probably make a thorn for the top end for utility sake.

Weather pretty abruptly went from summer to fall last week.
Smoking Autumn Evening in this poker. Med-dark roast arabica cappuccino. Balcony garden.
Nice fall ambiance. Happier with this tobacco blend than in previous moments. It’s got several years of age on it if that makes the difference. Has some voluminous body and tobacco core now instead of just aroma. Maybe the weather. Maybe me. Anyway, nice chill time visiting with an ancient medicine.
Best to you all.
Sam Clemens would be proud. Looks formidable.
Happy so far w an ECM (sister company) Mechanika. Very similar looking build and materials.
You’ve got more knobs to twiddle it looks like. Enjoy!
Yeah, I think that is way better value-for-effort than mythic’s probability spreadsheet. KiSS
MUNE shares similar concepts as Mythic but simplified. Free PDF:
To clarify - I think your proposed grammar is valid but the phrasing is uncommon. It’s not a phrase I would expect to hear. Though I would understand the gist of what you’re expressing.
Best sounding recommendation probably depends on context and ‘the thing’:
There’s a concept I don’t understand.
There is something in the box I don’t recognize.
There is a feature of the coffee machine I haven’t figured out yet.
There’s a Greek word in the original text that I don’t know.
Cooler days settling in. Sunny afternoon with a brief tantrum of hail.
Smoking a virginia flake with couple years on it. Fragrant plum fruity nose in the jar. Lightly sweet, a touch of pepper, and hint perhaps of woodsmoke.
Happy fall weekend to you all.
My guess is it’s likely not a bug but an unexpected (by you) interaction of the tool script with whatever layout you’re doing.
If you can post example code demonstrating the problem someone will probably be able to pinpoint what’s happening.
What if I told you… every day is coffee day.
Sounds like you found a workaround.
There might be some tricks here that could help too:

Personally, I’d drop all the macro template syntax, applys, intersects, etc. And simplify the function arg to be just: (sequences)
let item-map make-hash-table
dolist seq sequences
dolist item seq
;; gethash / return / or setf & continueIf you don’t care about the intersection values:
init empty hashmap w best guess on size
Iterate sequences
Iterate elements
If elt in hashmap return t
Add elt to hashmap
return nil
If you have maybe million+ elements, a db like sqlite might help. Unique index, insert each item til you get a unique constraint failure.
Why? If you open your tin or pouch it’s going to begin drying out over a few days and taste and flavor will eventually suffer.
You can store pipe tobacco in most any airtight container almost indefinitely. The tobacco taste can develop over time. A blend that you find over strong or pungent when fresh may become smoother and nuanced with a year or two in the closet.
The generally recommended solution is some kind of canning jar with a good seal. Remember to label what it is and when you put it in there!
Pipe tobaccos age in usually positive ways over time. How long is useful? Depends on the tobacco type. Virginias benefit the most - mellowing and sweetening. A year or two is likely enough to see benefits. Beyond 5-10 years you may do more harm than good.

Your pipe tobacco should NOT live in a humidor. Just air tight, stable temperature, and dark.
Watch out for mould - fuzzy hairy bad smelling growth on the leaf. Better to pitch it if that happens.
In the attached pic you’ll see a couple different size jars. I like the little 2-oz jars for travel. I’m a very occasional smoker so it’s nice to be able to pack around a little jar for days, weeks, even months until I’m ready. Bigger jars go in my tobacco “cellar” (a box on a shelf) until summoned.
95f today. Visiting the local shop with air conditioned lounge!
Postprandial smoke with a Cappucino and some water. Guillotine cut. Easy light with two long matches.
I find it to be light to medium in strength and body. Creamy leather wood and some hay. Nice with the coffee.
Bit of pepper kick whenever the ash gets long - goes away with ashing.
Nic hit builds up gently over 30-40 min. Not harsh but makes itself gently known.
About through it at 80 mins. Same nice profile throughout.
Thanks to all the hands that crafted it, the sun, earth, and water. Best to you all.
I.e.: unscrew French press stem in order to remove it from the cap. Reassemble. Now it can press all the way to base of the French press canister for frothing.
This ranks among the best cups I’ve had, even at very good coffee shops.
Bonus details if you like
With the input water carefully measured, and managing outflow using time-on-heat source, it doesn’t seem to matter much whether the Bialetti sputters at the end or not - though I try to avoid it.
I had about 50g coffee output.
Doesn’t quite “get it” obviously but the elements are there.
So how could a computer understand smoking? (Or fingers…)
My first thought is you need an organic system that responds to all the stimuli. Feel of the pipe, heat, smell, taste, and the bodily response to the chemicals.
Then I thought, the computer might need to be able to suffer. To know stress, hurry, doubt, fear. Then to have an experience that elevates condition.
First a distraction of small details. Attention to moment. Chronology warps, wafts, disperses. Adrift gently in the eye of a storming world.
So you’re getting started with cigars or you’re on the move. You’d like to store a couple sticks but don’t know if you’ll get to smoke them this weekend or months from now. Also… humidors… how do I even…?
No problem. Just get an airtight food safe storage case (glass, food safe plastic, etc) from wherever you get your kitchen stuff. Grocery store may have them.
When you pick up your cigars, get a couple of humidifier packs (e.g. Boveda packs). They have a humidity number typically between 65-72%. Avoid mixing humidity levels among your packs.
If you’ve got a cigar shop you could ask them if they sell or give away scrap ceder strips which you can add to your container. Helps modulate humidity and is a natural insect repellent. And smells good!
Boveda bags are an even simpler and smaller solution for a couple sticks. I’ve had 2 cigars in a bag with an 8g pack for a year unopened and they’re just fine. Plus you can feel the humi-pack to see how it’s doing.
Storage: try to find a steady room temperature area to keep your container. Remember the 70/70 rule: most cigars store well at around 70 Fahrenheit and 70% humidity.
You’re all set!
Try them all. See what you like. (But va/burley is the best!)
