    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    A 2018 tin of Telegraph Hill in the cob legend for today's cob Tuesday.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    G.L Pease Telegraph Hill in a Danske Club (bent Dublin? I'm still relatively bad a recognizing pipe shapes). Don't you just love when you find a tin you had forgotten about and it has 6 years on it already? Opened a drawer and there it was, tinder dry, since I left it in the tin and it already...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    My tins of Nightcap (and Dunhill Standard mixture back in the day) had a decent moisture content straight off the tin, at least in my case. I guess the problem I usually have is that the tobacco in them needs to breathe a little out of the tin since they were too compressed in there, but I don't...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    I just cracked open my 2nd tin of Nightcap. I loved every single bowl of the first tin, with the exception of the 1st one, which I smoked straight out of the tin after I opened it. I usually don't have a good experience with Dunhill/Peterson blends if I smoke them right after cracking open a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Lots of cob in this page of the thread, so let me contribute. Smoking HH Old Dark Fired in my first ever cob, acquired last week. I love it. Fun fact, I bought another tin (not this one) of Old Dark Fired some months ago and, much to my surprise, it's from 2018. Very nice to "accidentaly" buy...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***

    Enjoying some Gaslight in a Rigoletto pipe (a decent budget pipe, I would say). Gaslight is most likely my favourite English ever.

    Beautiful pipe. ODF is one of my favourite blends ever.

    Show off Your Smoking Rooms!

    They are not very easy to find in Brazil, but I have found them in the past. I could try to import them from the U.S, but our customs love taxing imported goods. So far, I only have those three jars, the rest being the ones that don't seal well. I don't smokre aros, so I will probably stop using...

    I just realized that I wrote Stanton pipe in my post. I meant Stanwell. I don't know where Stanton came from. 😅

    Show off Your Smoking Rooms!

    It's usually either my bedroom or my living room, but my bedroom is where I keep my pipes and my tobacco. I wish I had more mason-style jars though. The ones on the right aren't very reliable or air tight.

    A Typical Reaction to Pipesmoking?

    I'm often in those online video chats with strangers. Coming from younger people, especially Brazilians like me, they constantly ask if I'm smoking weed. Now, I don't judge what people prefer to smoke, but it gets a bit old hearing that all the time. Something else that I also hear is that I...

    I wish I had such a nice night sky.

    First English blend of the year: Squadron Leader in a Stanton pipe.

    First Experience with Straight Burley.

    Yeah, I can understand how straight burley can taste "one note", although this is what I look for, sometimes. I like complexity, but sometimes I just want to sit down and not think much about what I'm smoking or try to puzzle out flavours. Since this burley that I have is more of a local thing...

    First Experience with Straight Burley.

    Title edited for capitalization. Rule 9. Until recently, my only experience with burley blends were Virginia + Burley blends, such as HH Burley Flake and HH Old Dark Fired (two blends that I absolutely love, actually, although I'm mostly a latakia guy). I was always curious, however, with what...
