    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2022?***

    Currently smoking some CF 2022 that I opened two weeks ago and smoked fresh and thought it was rather meh - I wasn’t met with the same feelings as prior releases. HOWEVER, opinions change and after getting some air in it and moderate drying I’m really really enjoying this years release and glad...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Stopped by a b&m and picked up their last tin of Stonehenge, new to me. And two cigars for good measure.

    New YouTube Pipe Channel

    Not much to add to this than already has been discussed. I’m just appreciative of the fact that there are YouTube videos of people promoting pipe smoking and giving advice and tidbits when I took up pipe smoking 4 years ago. Had there been something like this 20 years ago when I first picked...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Restocked on BBF and FVF, time to cellar and revisit in 2-3 years. Cannon Plug is totally new to me, interesting to see how the toppings changes what starts out as BBF. Gonna smoke some right away this week

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    I couldn’t hold off until Christmas. Upon opening this Secret Santa gift, I was ecstatic when the first thing I saw was tobacco from KBV. I’ve been eying KBV blends for a while now but have never pulled the trigger. As I removed the KBV bags, I saw not one, not two but four pipes underneath...

    Samuel Gawith Tin And 250g Box Laudisi Availability List, Including 7 Plugs

    I'm still hoping to get some more Kendal Plug, I don't think it was in this drop. I'm holding on to my last bit of my last plug and trying to make it last

    Samuel Gawith Tin And 250g Box Laudisi Availability List, Including 7 Plugs

    Was able to get my order in. I was actually coming here to post the availability - I just happened to check my email earlier than usual and saw the alerts in my mailbox. Picked up Canon Plug and another 8 oz of BBF and FVF

    Esotericapers

    I was able to get two blends of the Esoterica line up I do like this drop, at retail pricing. 2 8oz bags from one B&M near me and 2 tins of each of the two blends I like from a online retailer.

    Esotericapers

    I spy my favorite ECBP in the back against the wall.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    Santa may have me on the naughty list this year for procrastination. I had boxed up my intended recipients items earlier last week and they were sitting in my work car waiting for me to drop off at USPS. I was quickly reminded yesterday when a mysterious box was delivered to me at work. I use...

    Esotericapers

    My whole thoughts on the Esoterica blends being snatched up immediately.... it reminds me all too well of what is going on in the bourbon world. Use to be able to walk into the liquor store and pick up bottles like Rock Hill Farms, Elmer T Lee, EH Taylor SmB, SIB, etc..... now they are...

    Losing Track of your Pipes

    I wouldn’t say any are lost, they are all just in the last place I left them. I’m notoriously bad for leaving some in my car, at work, work car, on the deck instead of In their appropriate place inside my home. I’ll grab a pipe from inside to bring on a drive with me forgetting I have some in my car

    SPC Christmas Spirit

    They are on sale now at Smoking Pipes. Kind of hard to justify for 10 dollars a oz, but I did end up getting one tin just to try.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    Quick question so I’m not leaving a lump of coal in a otherwise deserving pipe smokers stockings… the blend styles listed next to their names is what they prefer, correct? I haven’t been able to follow along this thread too closely

    Your "No Fuss/Go To" Tobacco?

    Not my favorite by any means, but no fuss- go to, scoop it straight out of the container with whatever pipe I’m using would be Granger. I find myself reaching for it more and more when I don’t want to take the time with drying a flake or cutting off a piece of plug. Plus, it’s readily available...
