Blending Your Own?
well, maybe I should call it "mixing," since the term blending does have specific connotations to pipe smoking. zyrcon, actually that's what I tried when I did tried it. like what rigmedic1 was saying, I was trying to use up some aromatic that I didn't like. but what does everyone think: apple...- dizzieranddizzier

Changed Up My Coffee Drinking
black coffee dark roast from Africa, is my way. I sigh a little when at the shop the darkest roast is from Colombia or somewhere else in South America. I know I'm a snob :roll: I enjoy espresso and french press, but my parents have a Bunn drip coffee machine that I always enjoy when I stay at...- dizzieranddizzier

Blending Your Own?
Well, so far I only tried blending once ... the flavors I have right now are so interesting individually, I'm just sticking them in separately and feeling satisfied ... maybe I'll come to blending down the line. I think rothnh had it right, but I do want to make an "apple pie" blend down the...- dizzieranddizzier

Changed Up My Coffee Drinking
Black coffee is the way to go. If it's too hot outside to drink black coffee ... put it on ice! I love black iced coffee and never can understand why the Vietnamese ruin theirs with milk and sugar ...- dizzieranddizzier

Poetry
not mine, but I found this recently: For you alone - Bob Hicok One knows the world is falling slightly faster than rising, this is why one has the second beer or tries to stretch the triple into a love affair.

I really want a new trumpet ... saving up. I play a Bach Stradivarius Model 37, but my mouthpiece is exciting: Asymmetric Lead 342. It has really increased my range w/o significant sacrifice to endurance.- dizzieranddizzier

Blending Your Own?
Thanks, I feel like a started out with some really sub-standard tobacco (I bought bulk, and it didn't have a name on it, just a flavor: coffee, but it doesn't really smell or taste like coffee to me!), but the local place near me had some great options and as I get more comfortable with the...- dizzieranddizzier

New Members, Introduce Yourself!
Hello, my name is dug, but since I am a sometime jazz musician/trumpet player, I chose the moniker "dizzieranddizzer" after the great pipe smoker/trumpet player Dizzy Gillespie. A good friend of mine in Chicago introduced me to pipe smoking some years back ('04), but only decided to purchase my...- dizzieranddizzier

Blending Your Own?
Hello all, I'm a new pipe smoker and my introduction came from a friend of mine that would blend his own tobaccos. What I mean is that he would get some Stokkebye Black Cherry Cavendish or something sweet and mix in something less flavorful. Is this a sacrilege?- dizzieranddizzier
