    Outside Smoke Versus Inside Smoke

    My wife tolerates indoor smoking but really prefers I not do so. Nothing beats indoor smoking for the many reasons already stated by others. The flavors are enhanced. The smoke swirls and is more voluminous. I've got an old, comfy recliner and a flat screen, along with my laptop that make...

    All three are lovely pipes, but I particularly love that meer.

    You must be in west/southwest Connecticut where the totals are supposed to be a bit higher. 5-8 in Central Connecticut, at least that's the forecast I've seen.

    On to Per G. Jensen Brothers in Arms in a rusticated Roma 606 KS. The jury's still out on this blend. Enjoyable, but not delivering the DFK intensity I prefer. It's the End of Days as we anticipate our first snowfall of any significance this season. A 3 to 6 inch forecast used to be ho-hum in...

    The first bowl of the work day is Peterson Flake in my Sav Dolomiti 128 short Billiard. It's light in the clench and has a good draw. Maybe not the shiniest toy in the window, but a good smoker. I have to decide if I should drive up to Tree House for some NEIPAS, or just buy something at the...

    Which no longer produced tobacco blend do you or will you miss the most?

    Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired and Bold Kentucky. I've searched for a worthy replacement. The closest I've found so far is Peterson Irish Flake. Suggestions are welcomed.

    My first bowl this Christmas Day is Peterson Irish Flake in my Zeus meer. Love the artistry of this carving, but the stem is loosening in the shank as is oftentimes the case with meers.
