    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

    Smoking Arstisans Blend in a Eltang that smokes like a dream. Wish all pipes did so.

    Dueling Pipes

    (Finishing post) layer different tobaccos, usually according to strength, in a very large bowl. It’s interesting how one tobacco melds with the next and so on.

    Dueling Pipes

    I’ve yet to try that, but I’m open for anything with pipes. I do, on occasion,

    Just finished first bowl in new Castello Canadian with plateau, loaded with St. James Woods. Had a number of unloved pipes and ended with the purchase of this.

    Enjoying a Dunhill group three billiard from 1951. Filled with Salty Dogs. One of my favorite parings. Cheers.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

    Just put together a Becker bent brandy crafted for the now defunct Northern Oakland Tobacco and Pipe Club here in the suburbs of Detroit. Packed her with Pease’s new Windjammer and finished the charring light. Be glad when this mess is over with and perhaps form a new pipe club in this area.

    No Desire to Smoke

    September 2020, had hip surgery. About three weeks passed until I craved a bowl. I suppose the body doesn’t want certain things during trauma and healing. Didn’t want a big meal, or crave an ice cold beer. You know when the time is right.....

    Are You a Sloppy Pipe Smoker or a Meticulous Pipe Smoker?

    In between here. Most pipes are racked, a few laying about. Tobacco is jarred or in tins waiting to be jarred and kept in a three drawer lamp stand along with cleaners, knife, etc. Cellar is relatively organized with reamer, pouches, and travel leathers.

    A Funny Observation

    I rarely do not do a decent cleaning after a smoke with pipe cleaners and moonshine. When the pipe starts to taste like a wet dog smells it gets a ream and a brush treatment.

    Mac Baren Burley London Blend

    I received an email and snagged five tins. Initially had tins purchased back in 09' I believe and have one left. Great tobacco, plenty of flavor with no bite if you don't push it.

    Regarding Tonguebite From Virginias

    The key for me is drying and packing as loose as possible, along with a slow sipping. Tamp only when you need to avoid having to relight. In my experience, the hottest the smoke gets is on relights. A well behaved tobacco is a bonus. The more notes you take about preparation and details of...
