    What Is Lane Up To?

    Anyone noticed the 3 most recent blends that Lane has released? Cohiba, Macanudo and Wild Hare. If you read the descriptions... they all pretty much sound the same. Seems a bit strange to me. Any thoughts? I think it's a conspiracy...

    PAD - Scottie Butterscotch Bing

    Well, our buddy Jon went and got a 7 day set from Scottie. Of course, she did an amazing job on it. Unfortunately, the Scottie bug bit me again, so I reached out to her about adding another to my collection. Well, she did not disappoint, so here is the next in the rotation. I'm pretty sure this...

    Home Made Lampe Berger Scents?

    I have read plenty about Lampe Berger and purchased one last year. I'm not crazy about most of the scents that they put out and was wondering if anyone has successfully made their own fragrance mixtures. I'm aware that these are alcohol based fragrances, but wondering if a standard fragrance...

    C&D Christmas Blend - Corn Cob Pipe

    Due to the less than stellar search functionality, I wasn't able to verify if this had already been discussed. So, my apologies if it was. I digress. I will not even bother to put the description of this tobacco and it's not much of a description. I bought this mainly because of the cube cut...

    C&D OJK - Different Cut?

    So, I ordered 3 lbs. of OJK during this last sale. This is an old standby for me, but admittedly, it's been awhile since I needed to order any. Seems they changed the cut though. My older stock seems to be much more coarse, chunky cut vs. the new which is very ribbon. Has anyone else noticed a...

    C&D Blending Burley Questions

    So, I know many of our members like Deathmetal use some of C&D blending Burley's to spice up some of their other blends. Aside form their Cube Cut, I don't have any experience with them as far as characteristics. I would like to branch out from the Cube Cut as it's not always the best cut to mix...

    Philly Morley's Pipe Club - 10/6/2016

    I know Les usually does this, but I figured I would get it up and out there. Little early this month. Same time, same place. Thursday, October 6th at 7 PM, The Pen & Pencil Club in Philly. Stop in for good food, good booze and plenty of tobacco getting passed around.

    Making Deathmetal Proud!

    Little bit of TAD arrived today. This isn't all of it, but the part that I knew DM would appreciate. In all its glory...

    Leather Care Question?

    Odd question, I know. I'm always searching for the best product for leather care. Mainly bags, briefcases, etc. Mink oil is suitable for work boots and deck shoes, but it leaves an oily film not suitable for quality leather goods in my opinion. I found this company online, which I'm curious to...

    OJK vs. Haunted Bookshop

    I'm an Burleyphile, and an unabashed fan of Bob Runowski creations. OJK has long been a favorite of mine and stays in pretty regular rotation. It's rich and full with just a hint of sweetness. Maybe not an all day smoke for most, but depends on your tastes I suppose. Then there is Haunted...

    The Big Nor'easter

    I'm sure everyone has heard about it on the news. This one is lining up to be a monster storm up and down the east coast. Curious which of our brothers are in its path, and what your plans are for the big event?

    MacBaren Golden Extra + Perique??

    I have seen many people spiking their blends with Perique lately. Everything from Carter Hall to dark Burley. I have attempted it in a few situations, but always get wrapped up in trying to add other things and create a new mixture. Too damn complicated. Anyone ever tried adding a bit of the...

    MacBaren 1 lb. Bags - Safe For Long Term?

    I recently bought a couple of 1 lb. bags of MacBaren blends. I'm curious if anyone has experience with them for long term storage. They are sealed air tight, and seem to be a rather heavy material. Thoughts? Should I transfer, or leave them alone?
