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

    Some three year old Davidoff Flake Medallions in a bent bulldog. Terrific! Very fruity.

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

    Halloween happened to fall on Nevada Day. A day state and county workers get off, so having a lazy day with Loki and enjoying some G&H Brown Bogie in a Savinelli Author. An excellent pipe if you want to let your tobacco stretch out a bit, although BB doesn’t require a lot of room. Love this time...

    Great time at the Las Vegas Vegas International Pipe Show yesterday. It’s great having a pipe show that’s in my city. Thanks much to Brian. My MO is to try and find some vintage tobacco. A few years ago. I was able to get a 17 year old tin of Samuel Gawith Best Brown #2 which is magical. This...

    It’s Las Vegas International Pipe Show eve. I’m smoking some SG FVF in a Peterson while my new pal Loki takes a nap. Hopefully I’ll see some of you tomorrow.

    Opened a two-year old tin of SG FVF. I think it’s better aging in the jar. After careful consideration I’m gonna jar my other tins as well.

    What's with all these pipe tobacco brands being discontinued?

    I think Seattle Pipe Club is making an announcement at the Las Vegas International Pipe Show.

    A day of firsts as I’m now having my very first bowl of G&H Brown Bogie. Much like my favorite SG Black XX it’s has that dark-fired Virginia steak flavor but with some added sweetness. Terrific!

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

    Finished my first ever bowl of Samuel Gawith Cabbie’s Mixture this morning. I scored a couple of tins from WCC in a photo finish last week. Been wanting to try it for years. Tin note is very strong with hay, tea, earth, and what I want to compare to raisin bread?. It also had a whiff of, and...

    Finally recovering from one of the worst colds I’ve had in years. Trying to get my palate back in shape. It’s still a little bit stunted. Smoking my usual SG Black XX Kendal Twist. I have some other SG blends on the way in the mail. Excited for that.

    Luxury Bullseye Flake, 5 yrs old

    Similar situation for me. I jarred a crap-ton of it and it just keeps getting better.

    Samuel Gawith Drop is on at SmokingPipes

    Still some Full Virginia Flake available too for those interested. Limit 5 tins so he must have more of those.

    Samuel Gawith Drop is on at SmokingPipes

    Ernie at WCC just put up his limited Samuel Gawith haul. I got two tins of Cabbie's in a photo-finish. (Deep breath!) It's gone. He said they sent him barely any.
