    Tinnitus Relief

    Yeah 13 years in the Army Field Artillery took most of my hearing and left me with this damnable incessant ringing, mostly in my right ear, but some in my left. Hearing aids help during the day, and a fan or TV at night.

    This Ain't Tobacco. I'm Done.

    Besides Doblone d'Oro, what else do you like to smoke? Do you smoke a lot of codger blends? I have Noticed a lot of the codger blends are packaged really wet, hell I have a pouch of Captain Black that has been drying for 2 months and it's still wet. Some tobacco's are definitely packaged with...

    What do You Enjoy While You Smoke?

    When working from home, in my basement, I will smoke my pipe then. Most of the time I just smoke to relax, usually while drinking coffee a beer, or a couple fingers of bourbon and surfing the internet.

    Do You Ever Worry That You're Obnoxious?

    As a general rule, I usually am not, however I can be if the right amount of alcohol is introduced in a short enough time!

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    It was a combination of what I read on this site, what I saw on you tube and my own trial and error and I would say that I eventually developed my own style and preferences with each tobacco.

    Crazy Bumper Stickers.

    When I was a teenager (back in the 80's) my Dad only ever put one bumper sticker on his car, and it was an American Flag that said "God Bless John Wayne" below it, and he was loathe to eventually trade that car in because he couldn't replace that bumper sticker!

    Three Nuns

    The current iteration of Three Nuns is definitely not what it was 20 years ago, but Is still a solid smoke in it's own right. It seems to be made made with quality leaf burns nicely and the flavor is spot on for me. I enjoy it regularly, but I enjoy it for the way it is formulated now. I'm sure...

    Modern Burleys vs. Codger Burleys

    I would recommend the H&H Mid Town Series, they are quality renditions of the older codger blends that our fathers and grandfathers probably smoked back in the day. I personally love the "Derby Club" and "Chatham Manor" which are higher quality versions (in my opinion of course) of "Kentucky...

    Good News For Bourbon Drinkers

    I can get on board with #8. Relieves Cold Symptoms. I take a couple of shots before bed sometimes, just to open things up and help me sleep. I also like to relax and sip a couple of fingers worth in a rocks glass, over an ice cube or two, with a good cigar or a pipe, but I usually know when to...
