    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***

    I've been recuperating from double transplants and a stroke, and have been mostly smoking cigars instead of my pipes. I opened my cellar for the first time in 5 years. I was so happy to see several tins of the McClelland Frog Morton series. So I'm starting on a tin of Cellar. Oh how I missed...

    What Happened To The Great P&C Sales?

    Either sales or not, I appreciate Russ and the staff at P&C and have never been disappointed with my order. I have ordered from other sites as well, but overall P&C is my go-to retailer. Happy IPSD! :puffy:

    Esoterica / Penzance In Stock At Cupojoes!

    I've got a couple of pounds in the cellar that already have about 4 years on them. I just needed a few ounces to smoke. No, it's not the end-all tobacco to me that some people make it out to be, but I do rather enjoy a bowl or two of it! :puffy:

    As cold weather approaches - what to do?

    I live in MO and exclusively have to smoke outside year-round. I just put on dedicated sweat pants, sweatshirt, and a coat. I can usually brave it down to about +10F. After that, I will either fire up a space heater or fire pit. As others have said, you will find the winter air more dry and...

    aros and diabetes

    Russ +1. I'm a (bad) Type 2 diabetic and have seen no appreciable difference (up or down) after smoking aromatics or non-aromatics. I normally do not smoke heavy nicotine blends, so I can't offer my opinion on those. :puffy:

    Nothing At All Against You City Boys...

    @voorhees - right there with you! I live in the middle of 15 acres, with woods, hayfield, cornfield, and ponds all around. I only smoke on the porch that overlooks the pond and field. Usually every day I spot at least a few deer, turkey, foxes, owls, and other creatures. Like you say, in...
