    Ruins of Windsor by The Country Squire

    I have some that's been jarred up now for over a year, along with a well aged Shepherd's Pie. Both are non-aromatics, but I've noticed that with some age, they smoke as if they were - both in room note and taste. Most suprising was the Shepherd's Pie. It's one of the things I like best about...

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    My package landed over a week ago, it's been nuts around here and I'm just now getting these pics up......let me just say, I've been participating in the SS for a number of years now, and the generosity of this crew becomes more and more evident each year. 2023 was no exception! I had come...

    Box Pass 2023 Signup

    It certainly was! You would never guess that it was as old as it is. Speaking of Lakelands....I tried a bowl of the Peretti 'No Name'. In the bag it smelled of my grandmother's purse. Smoking it, though, reminded me distintly of SG's Grousemoor. It had the same kind of citrusy-lakelandy...

    The box is headed north, out of this swampy sauna of the FL peninsula. Some advice for upcoming recipients - get yourself a good stock of the smaller mylar bags for smaller sample sizes. I grabbed some on Amazon that I thought would be smaller, but they still seemed too large. I took samples...

    I tried this on Saturday, and I have to agree with your comment about the Lakeland taste - took me by suprise.

    Fellas, all I have to say is WOW! That box is loaded with some serious goodies. Took me a few hours to sort through everything and bag up samples. There's some stuff in there I'm really stoked to try! I've added a couple things in there including more mylar bags. Due to work demands, I'm...

    NHL Playoffs

    I was in a hotel when my Bolts won in 2020. How I didn't get a noise complaint is beyond me.

    Stuck On Virginia

    I seem to be the opposite of most - as I've progressed over the years, I seem to have settled in to reaching for burley blends 80% of the time, with aros, english and some VA based blends the other 20%. When it comes to straight VAs, I must have a sensitive mouth. For some reason, they don't...

    Whatcha Smokin' for the Holidays?

    It certainly has. I just recently ordered a few ounces of the new batch, and my jarred stuff is no different.

    "Outdoor" pipe storage?

    Living in SW Florida, I can't comment on storing pipes outside in really cold conditions.....but, I have a handful of inexpensive basket pipes that I keep in the garage and grab when I walk the dog, etc....never had any issues with those and they've endured months on end of 90+ heat and humidity.

    Cringle Flake 2022 Dec 3rd

    For the first time, I jumped in and grabbed a few. Missed the boat on the previous releases. What surprises me, though, is that at 6:30 am it's still available on SP and TP. With all the usual hype, I would have thought it would have been gone on a flash.
