    Fillmore vs Haddo's?

    I don't really smoke aromatics, so to me blends like frog morton and dark strong Kentucky, both of which I do smoke, seem like aromatics to me. Haddo's is in the same boat. I get a good bit of the dried fruit flavors and I think that is the topping. So ultimately it may depend on what you want...

    What Music Are You Listening To? - June 2016

    Nice! I enjoy ambient music and Brian Eno has some really great stuff. I usually queue it up at work to help me stay focused, but considering how relaxing it can be I don't know why I haven't thought of it while smoking. It makes perfect sense now that you mention it!

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2016)

    Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake in a MM bent Country Gentleman. This has become my weekend early morning smoke with coffee. Perfect for starting the day.

    What Music Are You Listening To? - June 2016

    I couldn't agree more, johnbarleycorn. I love their compositions. They are deceptively elaborate. I usually connect with blatantly elaborate arrangements and enjoy classical music, but finding that element in modern music with rock & roll energy gets me going every time. Songs with tempo...

    What Music Are You Listening To? - June 2016

    Currently on a big David Byrne kick. In no way new to me, but for some reason it has been hitting the spot. Mostly his work with Eno. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hADN5CZmH4g

    Dry throat

    I have to have a drink while I smoke. I have found some great pairings with my morning coffee, but usually stick with water when I'm really trying to explore a tobacco blend. Flavored drinks tend to bias my palate and can make it hard if not impossible for my fledgling taste buds to detect the...

    Blend Style to Minimize Gurgle in a Gurgle Prone Pipe

    Thanks all. I'm going to give bayou morning a go next. Since it is a vaper it won't be as extreme of a change from Virginias like a jump to an English would be. I almost never need to use a pipe cleaner mid smoke, but this pipe or pipe & blend combo certainly requires it. It has helped with the...

    The Blend Least Like Your Others

    Old Joe Krantz is probably it for me. I have a good selection of Virginias and Vapers that stick together and a mix of English and English/Oriental/Balkans that also have lots of similarities. OJK is a bit off on its own, at least in my rotation that is.

    Blend Style to Minimize Gurgle in a Gurgle Prone Pipe

    As my pipe collection has grown I've begun to dedicate pipes to blend styles (e.g. Virginia flakes, Vapers, English, etc.). I have a Nording straight brandy that has so far been dedicated to Virginia flakes, but it isn't smoking as well as I would like. I usually smoke outside in the garage and...

    Unsmoked Pipes.

    Unfortunately I don't have enough briars in my collection for any to go unsmoked. Most barely get enough of a rest as is. The collection is growing though!

    Whats your top 5 blends ?

    It changes constantly, but currently: Sutliff Virginia Slices (Virginia) C&D Bayou Morning (Vaper) C&D Old Joe Krantz (Burley forward vaper) H&H Larry's Blend (English/Balkan) McClelland 5110 Dark English (English) Edit: I'm not an aromatic smoker so I kind of fail there, but I guess Frog...
