How Old Is Everyone
35 here, started piping a few years back on a deployment overseas. Any military guys out there can attest that deployments give you plenty of time to start new hobbies. Haven’t looked back since- joshb83

Poked a hole through my cob
As great as MM are, the biggest issue with mass production can be a short site in quality. I will say though with all the MM I’ve had, several have had soft bottoms, it’s the tough part with Cobs. But once you’ve poked through one, you learn to be gentle, they last forever and are high quality...- joshb83

Cube cut recommendations
It’s been a while since I’ve ventured away from the favorites that I continue to smoke (except FMOT...need to save what’s left for special occasions). I want to try the cube cuts, and looking for a starring recommendation. I know the first question to come will be what are you likes? Honestly...- joshb83

Basks Tobaccos?
@bouwser, I appreciate the recommendation. Worth a shot. Thanks for the info. @okiepiper, definitely making the most of SoCal this time as compared to my first stint here from 04-08.

Namely, the McClelland Company is no more. Now it’s not that I didn’t know it was coming, I guess you...- joshb83

Frog Morton on the Town scent??

Frog Morton on the Town scent??
I just recently received a tin of Frog Morton on the Town from a very generous fellow member and had a chance to finally try it. Wow! An amazing and enjoyable smoke, might have found a new fave. One question though, and it may be just me but I almost get an undertone of a great incense like...- joshb83

Painting a cob - advice please.
I know MM puts a plaster type glaze on theirs in order to give It that meerschaum type look, but I think you'd lose the cob feel if you changed it up. another thing to consider is due to how porous they are, it may take a lot to give it a look your happy with and potentially ruin the cob.- joshb83
