    SP C&D 20% sale started

    Not a big fan. I can smoke Bayou Morning and maybe Rajah's Court or Sunset Harbor, but that's about it.

    Pipe Blend Ponderings by a Grumpy Old Man Who Doesn't Like Anything

    I only have one blend I smoke almost daily, and would definitely stock up on if it was going away, and that's GLP Chelsea Morning. I go through about a pound a year. There are several others that I smoke regularly, but CM is my only true "regular" smoke.

    What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?

    My winter smoke of choice is 1792, whether it’s Xmas, the solstice, or whatever winter day is at hand.

    Why Is HU Directors Cut More Expensive Than Other HU Tobacco Blends?

    Louisiana broken flake and Makhuwa are fantastic.

    Isn't Bosun and Coniston out of production?

    LJ Peretti - 5 Burley Blends I Ordered

    If anyone has had both, I'm curious if any of the LJP burley blends are in the ballpark of Watch City's Waltham blend or Deluxe Crumb Cut. I'd like to try more blends in the vein of those two.

    Why Is HU Directors Cut More Expensive Than Other HU Tobacco Blends?

    Bizarre to me as it's not even in my top three HU blends. I'd take Louisiana Broken Flake, Makhuwa, and Zulu over it any day. Not saying it isn't good; it just isn't worth a premium price IMO.

    Nording Is Closing Up

    I guess I’m surprised he doesn’t have an apprentice to take over.

    Nording Is Closing Up

    Just saw this posted on Reddit and thought I’d share it here. Bad news for the pipe world (and me since I love Nording pipes): https://www.danishpipeshop.com/n/Niks-Corner https://www.danishpipeshop.com/n/Niks-Corner

    Are There Any Anime Fans Here?

    Been watching anime since the 80's, my faves being Vampire Hunter D, Ninja Scroll, and Perfect Blue. Right now I'm digging Dorohedoro and Dandadan, as well as the anime based on Cyberpunk 2077 (Edgerunners).

    New Peterson Pub Pipes Look Awesome

    This pipe is everything I wanted from Peterson. Just ordered a second, rusticated, one. I won’t be posting about releasing a big Dublin any more. 😂

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

    First smoke of November, first smoke in the new pub pipe. Some Makhuwa. This pipe is so much better than I even hoped. Restraining myself from getting a second one.

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

    Happy Samhain! EMP in my favorite Northern Briars pipe.

    Perique Mystique

    Sounds like you thought perique would taste smoky and, of course, that's what latakia tastes like (what's in Westminster). Perique has more of a fermented flavor that usually tastes like some combo of peppery and fruity (like plums, raisins, dates, etc). I love both!
