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

    I’ve been smoking a lot of Three Sails ryo cigs the past few days but I’m currently enjoying G&H Kendal Mixed in a Tekin.

    Does Pipe Shape Dictate Smoking Style?

    For me personally, the chamber dimensions absolutely matter. Is it the sole variable that matters? No. Drilling is the other variable that matters most, as it will affect the draw. In my experience, chamber dimensions tend to influence the cut of tobacco that will perform best in a pipe more...

    Our Newer Suburban

    That’s a wonderful new car, Briar Lee. May it bring your wife and family many years of joy and safe travels. I recently got a used car myself. 2018 Toyota Highlander with 90k miles on it. It was a single-owner vehicle with a great service history. Fingers crossed it will drive with minimal...

    Recommend me a New All Day Smoke to Replace Carter Hall and Prince Albert

    I would recommend C&D Winchester, C&D Pegasus, or G&H Kendal Mixed. All 3 of these are fantastic, all day blends that are easy to pack, light, and smoke.

    I just did a little recon and a higher percentage of Americans live in major metropolitan areas (urban/suburban) than I thought. It’s around 80%. In that case, I concede that you might be right. I live in a rural, conservative area so it might just be my confirmation bias as most teens I...

    Summer Intern

    Most teens are not like this in real life. In fact, there has been much more of a shift back to the trades (at least in rural public schools) as school systems are now seeing the folly behind the ‘college-or-bust’ messaging that was pushed so heavily from about 2000-2016. This is a classic...

    When opportunity knocks, you’re either ready to open the door or you’re not. Hopefully Jason wises up soon cause those students loans won’t pay themselves.
