    Best Smelling Non-Aromatic Blends

    Happy to help. In the interest of full disclosure, the culpable aromatic blends were CAO Eileen's Dream, Captain Black Grape (understandable), and one of the ones from P&C's long defunct "Out of Office" series, some PG-saturated Black Cav nightmare. Should've actually been called Black Cav...

    Best Smelling Non-Aromatic Blends

    My wife has a super sensitive sniffer, so I'm always mindful of what blend I choose when I'm in her presence. Since I'm exclusively an outdoor smoker, it's not a frequent occurrence, but when it does happen, I know what blends to favor, and which to avoid. Generally, I'm in agreement with the...

    What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?

    Yes, but the word is that STG has already wrecked it (no surprise there). I've got a pound and change, so I have no desire to confirm it for myself.

    Aromatics for Tobacco Lovers

    Good to revisit this thread. Naturally, Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake and Vanilla Flake are both out to pasture, and STG (unsurprisingly) botched the loose cut Vanilla Cream. What a difference two years can make, eh? If you're lucky enough to be able to acquire some Sutliff Maple Shadows, leap at...

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

    A wise guy once said, the last will be first and the first will be last... Last bowl of the month was a first-time try of Sutliff Maple Shadows (many thanks to @Questionable Source for the sample!) in my aromatic pipe, a Savinelli Miele 641 KS smooth bent apple. All I can say is...hot damn...

    Black Friday Shopping

    Couldn't agree more. The gov't actors just papered over the '08 fiasco by running the printing presses and slashing interest rates to near zero. Pumped the bubble right back up again, but way bigger this time. C19 was just an opportunity to double down on it all, and here we are, the Everything...
