Happens regularly to me. Relax and enjoy the smoke.:tu

:r Perhaps we should all give Rob some ring guage for being so gosh darned helpful all the time.:r

As many here will attest I am check full of hot air, so perhaps I don't often suffer this malady due to the increased heat and dryness my purging causes?:r I find that a regular soft purge tends to keep my sticks burning more evenly, but it could very well have to do with the ambient humidity of...

Are you purging as you smoke? That helps to keep the burn even as well as burn off the tar buildup. I know some BOTLs that do it gently with every puff, and others that do the occasional power purge. And no, there was absolutely no pnoon joke lurking in the background of this post.:r

Amen brother.:tu

Mark is a lovely man.

I'll bet you're humming one of his tunes as you read this.:) Perhaps National Brotherhood Week or the Vatican Rag?:r

Nope, I meant less than 10%. But then again that new math stuff always confused me!:r (cue Tom Lehrer for those of you old enoigh to remember him)

A lot would depend on the environment. If the native RH is 60-70% you can leave the stick out for a very long period of time with little to no ill effects. If you were visiting a desert with a >10% RH your sticks will dry out much faster.

Best wishes finding peace with the decisions you chose to make. We're pulling for you Mike.

If I "win" donate my care package to the troops.:ss 1) Male or Female? male 2) Age? 45 3) Do you work out? (Y/N) No 4) Do you have low, normal, or high blood pressure? high 5) What is your body type? (skinny, average, athletic, or overweight) skinny 6) What are your eating habits...

My condolences. I lost a BOTL that I was friends with last year and I think of him every time I light up a stick. It helps that I still 'share' my smokes with his memory.

A SF Valley herf is set at the Burbank Bar & Grill Saturday 1/12 at 2pm. Newbies are always welcome. Take a peek in the Herf forum if you're interested.:ss

I hate to quote anyone as understated as Bigwaved, but all I can really add is Wow.:tu

I'm fortunate to be able to herf almost every weekday with a couple of my CS buddies right here at work and then go home for a quiet one by myself or with the wife if it isn't to cold. What can I say, life is good.:tu
