Cigars an Aeromatic Smoker Might Enjoy
Flavored cigar...no way. Partagas Black Label Maduro Gigante. 6 x 60 no better way to go. The flavor is TOBACCO. These guys know cigars. Listen and enjoy. Happy New Year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkr4CcpDGNs- mjtannen

What's closest thing to Penzance?
I love Penzance; smoke a bowl every evening and I am the fella who "commissioned" Sterlings 1776 American Patriot. It has an almost identical pouch aroma and it offers a similar smoke experience. Unfortunately, Jack Peterson is unable to press his tobacco so it is not exactly the same. It is...- mjtannen

Pipes & Stash....
Great stash brother. Now it's time for you to concentrate upon another great stache. Nothing better than a beard for a pipe smoker and a great mustache gets you on the road. Like an American Express Card, once you have a mustache or a beard you'll never leave home without it and your favorite...- mjtannen

Through the nose...
Once you get used to a good heavy cigar, your sinus will appreciate a tasty smoke. The only problem is deciding whether you want your pipe or your cigar. Oy vey, problems....- mjtannen

Thoughts on "giant" pipes?
I'm a clencher and my largest pipes are my favorites. I have a large Mario Grandi, an even larger Nording and most recently I've acquired a Savinelli Hercules 619EX which is just great. Nothing better for a long slow heavy lat blend. I'm not a big man, but man do I love a big smoke. Large pipes... -
Tattoos and corporate buttmonkeying
Baron: I'm retired now but I was a New York City hospital administrator for ten years. I supervised the chief engineer as well as most every other department in a 254 bed urban teaching community hospital. I can tell you that anyone with common sense knows that a competent maintenance employee...- mjtannen

What Are You Smoking - September 2012
A large Claude Romain bowl filled with my own mix of Storm Front and Partagas cigar leaf. Absolutely pumped smoke for a clenching man to start the morning off properly. Highly recommended for enjoyment of a luscious pipe along with the true cigar experience all rolled into one.- mjtannen

Smooth Pipes Tend To Smoke Better Than Sandblasted
I have both smooth and sandblasted pipes in my 33 bowl collection. I have not found any difference in the quality of the smoke although I prefer the feel of a smooth bowl and the beauty of the smooth brier. I also find that they both smoke equally hot or cool depending upon technique. I'm a... -
Moustache Note
I've always felt that the aroma of tobacco in my stache and beard is man cologne. As a matter of fact my everyday cologne is a spray of "Cigar" by Remy Latour which is made in Paris.- mjtannen

Getting Educated
My criteria is bowl size. Small bowls just don't make the cut for me. Bent or straight, a large thick walled bowl can always be half filled or half smoked but a small bowl just does not produce the flavor quality or depth that a large bowl delivers. Once you smoke a Savinelli Hercules or a... -
Cigar Butts?
I am primarily a pipe smoker, however, I enjoy the hell out of a Partagas Black Label oscuro stick. I always have a box on hand and I smoke about one cigar every two weeks. I also keep a small jar of cigar leaf that I grind from a butt in a coffee mill. Well, this morning I added the cigar...- mjtannen
