    ***What Are You Smoking? January 2020.***

    Well, changed my mind and decided to go with Haunted Bookshop in my new Peterson XL02 instead of the Plum Pudding; started to crave that burley the more I thought about it.

    ***What Are You Smoking? January 2020.***

    Working my way through some Escudo Navy Deluxe in a 60s-70s era estate MM cob and Cornell and Diehl Star of the East in a black blasted Lane prince. After that, I have every intention of smoking a healthy helping of SPC Plum Pudding and might cap the night off with C&D Da Vinci for my...

    Should I Smoke Them?

    First off: beautiful. Secondly: I've always loved the shape of that Watson. And lastly: I would absolutely smoke them! But I can understand the appeal of leaving them un-smoked. Let us know how it goes.

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    Yeah, alot of people I know really don't like going to Pensacola and even avoid it like the plague, but I love it! The cigar shop I'm talking about is Cordova Cigars on 9th Ave. I actually just got back from there and they just restocked the tobacco shelf; they had a bunch of Cornell and...

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    Whelp, I decided to get the Dunbar. I've smoked 3 bowls so far and will probably smoke another when I get home. What I have smoked, I've pretty well enjoyed, though it really is unlike any other VaPer I've had. Going to continue to play with packing, cadence, bowl size, etc... I will say that...

    New Year's Day Smoke.

    Currently alternating between C&D Haunted Bookshop in my Peterson Rocky Donegal XLO2P and some C&D Da Vinci in a Kensington Oom Paul. Happy New Year!

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    Thanks for the tip on TurboTin; haven't gotten into alot of online sites outside of PipesandCigars or SmokingPipes, but I will definitely check that one out.

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    I've been super interested in trying Pembroke and Stonehaven, though I know those aren't the easiest to get ahold of.

    Esoterica: What is Your Favorite?

    I have the opportunity to grab a tin of Tilbury and Dunbar at the local cigar shop in Pensacola Fl and, having not yet tried either, was just wondering what everybody's thoughts were on these blends and any experiences with Esoterica in general. I grabbed a tin each of Rattray's Old Gowrie and...

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    I think I'm about to burn into a bowl of MacBarren Vintage Syrian and then cap the night off with C&D Da Vinci.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Currently outside smoking Captain Earle's Private Stock in a MM cob also in short sleeves in Century Florida. I miss the snow and really wishit felt more like Christmas, but the wonderful tobacco helps loads!

    New Piper Here!

    Merry Christmas and welcome from Northwest Florida! I'm also new here. I think it's so awesome that you have your granddad's pipes; I had a great uncle who smoked and I wish like hell I could find just one of his, but as far as any in my family are aware, they are all lost.

    New and Looking for Conversation

    Thank you, much; yeah, my wife merely tolerates the geeking and the rambling, but she will actually sometimes join me for a smoke, which is always nice. We actually went for something of a hiking trip in Tennessee in October. One of our favorite states, by far.
