Absolutely not! Iffin I paid for that smoke Imma gonna smoke it until my fingers blister from the heat. Then I'll break out the telecrafted nubber

If I hate it, it'll just be a drawn out painful lesson not to get another one of those

Dam…. Never thought about it like that. Maybe I’ve been doing wrong

Just my take. I don't like wasting money. Well, that's not true. I don't like throwing away money, sometimes to my detriment.

There was a point I was actively trying to build my spice tolerance and got some Da Bomb Beyond Insanity. Awful stuff. Tastes like battery acid. At least I assume that's what battery acid tastes like. Ask Danm. He'll tell you the same. I destroyed meal after meal with this toxic chit. Didn't enjoy food again until it was gone. Why? Well I paid a a whole $8 for it. Can't just toss it

Hmmmmm. It’s like those beers I’ve bought. The ones that are undrinkable. But I finished them. See I just hadn’t thought about it. Churchill to the nub going forward.

Exactly! Everybody's got a little cheapskate in them

That reminds me. I need to work on getting rid of these dam IPAs

I don't think JTS has a telecrafted tool yet? May have to fix that problem.

I don’t think I’ve bought an IPA in close to 10 years but we have a couple in our outside refridge that our son brought over. At best 1 bottle a year is drunk by him.

On a similar note, I have a bunch of Deshutes Abyss from 2014 to 2016 as well as other dark beers that have been in storage for 6 years. I know they’ve mellowed and lost a bit of flavor but I gotta figure out what to do with them since I haven’t gathered to herf with my nephew since Covid hit. We used to go through at least a couple of bottles each time, 2 to 3 times a year.

Call him up before the next variant flares up. If that doesn't work, I might know a guy who's a fan of dark beer, which is why the IPAs still sit in the fridge. :-"

I mean. Just take one for the team palama. They’re rough. But. It’s still booze.

I see that nephew about once a month. He works near a store we go to every once-in-awhile. His promotion to Asst. Store Mgr. recently means he doesn’t have to work Saturdays so it’s just a matter of synching up a free weekend. But, he also splurged and bought a buncha Abyss for the herfs. He’s managed to whittle down his inventory while herfing with a few of his friends once or twice a month.

I’m gonna bring the boxes back home so I can take an inventory but I know one of the boxes has something like 10 2014 Abyss’!

Yah, I went hog wild that year. 🤦




Drinking a whole bottle by yourself in one sitting is quite a task. I’ve done it before but might be too much of a good thing at this point in time. I tried drinking half and then capping the bottle but didn’t finish it till a couple weeks later. Definitely waited too long. 😣

So I just lit a Churchill. I will smoke the whole thing. Cause. 4$ is 4$.
