    Burley lovers, looking for recommendations

    My daily smoke is a 50:50 blend of C&D’s Big “n” burley and their chopped cigar leaf. I call it Big and burley like Arnold. Spicy, nutty, and smokey.

    Can I Use Camp Stove Fuel in a Lighter?

    I’ve gone through over a quart of 85% Coleman fuel 15% naphtha in my zippo and I’m still on the same wick. Haven’t even pulled it up any. That 15% naphtha really helps to cool the burn temp and decrease volatility.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

    Tonight is like most nights, a 50:50 mix of C&D’s big n burley and chopped cigar leaf in a Chris Morgan bones straight poker. Haven’t been on here much since my move. New house has a garden shed and a barn. I’ve converted the garden shed into a nice smoking shack. I’m enjoying this smoke...

    Where Do You Dump Your Ashes?

    I have a 1 gallon plastic bucket with a lid. Ash is dumped, the pipe is given a sharp exhale, I run a cleaner through the stem, turn the cleaner around and repeat, the cleaner is then doubled over and used to swab the bowl, and is then thrown in the bucket with the pipe ash. I empty it every...

    I’ll still run a book to the college of Winterhold or kill a random vampire when I’m in the mood.

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Tonight is Penzance, thanks to Hoosierpipeguy in a Chris Morgan bones long poker with the lightning finish. Hanging out with my boys while they play with the only toys they can’t destroy.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2021?***

    GH&Co’s sweet whiskey rope, cut into coins, broken up with the fingers, chopped with the coffee grinder, placed on a terra-cotta dish, dried in the microwave for 17 seconds, and packed gently into a large cob with an acrylic forever stem. It burnt to ash like a pile of pine needles. 14 seconds...

    Anything Interesting On Your Workbench?

    One of my favorite lanterns is a copper top and bottom Norleigh Diamond that was made by CT Ham. It looked like a rusted heap on the bay pics but ended up being one of my nicest restorations. Nice score on the 275. Those are solid little lanterns.

    Anything Interesting On Your Workbench?

    Haven’t dove into the pressure lamps yet. I stick mostly to tubular lanterns. There’s currently a Dietz Vesta that I picked up at a random antique store on the way to Gatlinburg sitting on my workbench. I mostly go after Rayo’s and copper fount lanterns.

    Need English Recommendations

    I’ll have to give a nod to Stokkebye’s Proper English. It’s the most definitive English blend I’ve come across. It’s also a pretty good smoke.

    On the Hunt for the Strongest Nicotine

    I stuck a Kentucky fire cured cigar in a pipe. I regularly enjoy high nicotine blends but this was enough to make me barf.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    Mac Barren Burley flake in a Chris Morgan bones bent poker. Out on the porch, watching the storms roll through Arkansas. I’ve got a nice Rayo hot blast lantern providing some ambience.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Bulk was sold out so I bought two tins of Bob’s chocolate flake. I’m a GH fan so I’m looking forward to trying this one.
