    Conniston Cut Plug?

    Was thinking of ordering some Conniston Cut plug. I am curious as to how it compares to Dark Flake or Dark Birdseye? I like both of these and Ennerdale as well and it sounds interesting from the reviews I have read. Just wondering if it was similar or totally different. Thanks.

    Just tried C&D Crooner and Big n' Burley

    I had heard about Crooner having Deer Tongue in it so I wanted to try it. The first smoke was great. I am very much a fan of the flavor the Deer Tongue brought to the blend. The burley gave a decent nic hit as well. I think I will keep this one around. The Big n' Burley wasn't bad either. I...

    D&R Ryback

    I have been smoking a lot of Ryback the past few days and it is a great tasting blend! The Kentucky stands out with its spiciness (really flavorful). The Burley and Virginia components combine well to round everything out. Honestly, based on taste, this blend is on par with any Kentucky blend I...

    Daughters & Ryan tobacco TAD

    Anyone pick up any of the D&R tobaccos while Pipesandcigars had them for 25% off? I have never tried any of it before but rolled the dice and ended up ordering three 1lb. bags. Ryback, Picayune and Don Giovanni Sigaro are the ones I ordered. Any thoughts on these?

    Lady Nicotines Welcome Back

    After not smoking for a few weeks after surgery I decided it was time. Yeah, I had cheated once or twice with a few puffs of low nicotine stuff but I wouldn't call that a real smoke. Late yesterday I loaded up my Castello Pot with a 50/50 mix of OJK and Dark Flake. I smoked about 1/4 of a...

    Rusticated and Refinished British Pipe

    Ok, so I'm now five days into recovery from back surgery and I'm totally stir crazy. Being a habitual "gotta be doing something" kind of person I find that sitting around the house without spending time in my garage tinkering, sucks. Not to mention I need to be doing some Bushog work around the...

    Kid Pitched A No Hitter Tonight!

    Just had to brag on him!! My youngest son (14) pitched a heck of a game tonight in middle school baseball. He had 10 strikeouts with 2 thrown out at first against a very good undefeated team. He was backed up well by his team who let nothing get by them. It was the team they lost their...

    Back Surgery Thursday Can't Smoke

    I'm going to have back surgery on Thursday for a herniated disk. To be honest, I am really looking forward to having the problem taken care of. The nerve in my leg has given me a fit of pain for several weeks now and I am just over it. I stopped smoking about three weeks ago and will wait...

    So I Found Some Deer Antler..

    Found some deer antler in my woods and decided to try my hand at making some pipe tampers. This was my first attempt at this. I found that deer antler really smells bad when put to a belt sander HaHa! The color looks weird in the outside photos. The coloring actually looks more like the antler...

    St. Bruno Burner of Tongues

    Well just tried my first bowl of St. Bruno. Smells good and tastes floral but decent. Then my tongue went into full revolt. I had to stop at half a bowl. The burn was too much. Maybe Ill try again in a few days..

    Impact of Expectations on New Blends

    I was considering while smoking my first bowl of a new blend today, how much my impression of new tobaccos are swayed by my perceived expectations for the new blend. It seems that in my case, if I expect the blend to be a solid decent blend it usually hits around that mark. Not every time, but...

    Pneumonia for The New Year

    It seems my new year has started a little rougher than expected. I contracted the flu which quickly turned to pneumonia. Sickest I have ever been. I have been a little run down due to excessive hours at work. What really stinks is I just received some OJK, St. Bruno and Lane Vanilla Cav all...

    Jar Seal Question

    Recently I had to move my cellar location. While doing so I noticed that several of my jar lids indicated that there was no seal. My question is, Is it possible that the seal is actually good but the tobacco is causing actual pressure on the lids due to the aging process? I have previously...

    First Smoke of Condor

    Thanks to Beefeater33 (great guy to deal with, by the way) I was able to have my first smoke of Condor plug. When I opened the small green pack I got my first sniff of what smelled very much like silage with a floral lavender like twist. Having spent some of my youth on a dairy farm the smell...

    New pipe Break In Bitter taste!

    I have been trying to break in a new Rossi pipe and man does that thing taste horrible! It had that carbon garbage applied to the interior of the bowl. After 3 smokes I took sandpaper and removed most of it thinking that would help to fix the issue. It didn't. Next I tried applying honey...

    Mr. Brog 112 "habit" Pipe Review

    The Mr Brog 112 "habit" pipe has arrived and here is my attempt at a review of it. This is my first official review of anything so bear with me. What it looks like: First of all, the pipe is in my opinion a very nice example of work with Bog Oak / Morta. It is a hefty looking pot shaped pipe...

    Anyone Tried a Mr Brog Morta?

    Have any of you given the Mr Brog Morta pipes a try? I like the hefty looks of them and the price is very reasonable. I hear morta gives a good neutral smoke. If you have tried one let me know what you think of it.
