    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2023?***

    Thank you, I agree - his work is hard to beat in the both the looks and performance categories for me.

    Lots Of Open Tins

    I can relate, I have probably 50 or so 1/2 pint jars at various levels of full. They disappear rather slowly but I keep at it… this chore I’ve created for myself 😂 … I try to maintain some kind of balance between spending time with a specific blend to find the right pipes and situations that...

    This evening, Anthology in a rusticated J.Alan while the dog chases June bugs. Haven’t been keeping up with posting much, even when I do take the time to take photos… so I’ll dump an extra (it was smoked in May, I promise 🤣 ) J.Alan calabash

    HU Director's Cut

    Good to know, thank you. Any info on Makhuwa being re-adjusted to get closer to its previous glory?

    HU Director's Cut

    I would also like to know… I’ve held off adding DC to my orders since 2020, but I will likely be placing another order soon, and if the recipe has been corrected, I’d like to re-up on this one. I also noticed the Makhuwa change, but have not bought any more since then - any info on whether that...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    I do like it, it has a fuller flavor than other similar VA blends, and gives a satisfying kick of vitamin N.

    Thanks! I really like this one, just picked it up recently and it smokes wonderfully.

    Banned from Tobaccoreviews.com

    Agreed with @SBC … I tend to be one of the guys that naturally tends to try and ensure things are “correct,” but I have also learned that there are so many instances where it just doesn’t matter that much. In those that do, there is usually a very productive way to handle it. While I’m sure you...

    C&D Fraternal Twin Blends -- Bayou Night and Mountain Camp

    I really enjoy Bayou Night, I had originally picked it up after enjoying Bayou Morning, and seeing that the Night version was a Latakia blend. I’ll have to grab some Mountain Camp and give it a shot. I’m surprised I hadn’t found that one yet. I like Perique forward blends. Poplar camp is...

    Pipe Bits Necessary?

    I’m with cosmic here - when I first read this I assumed OP was talking about the stem, because softie bits wouldn’t be the thing that prevented a pipe from fitting in a bag, right? I’m concerned that OP is going to think everyone is saying that he doesn’t need the stem of his pipe, that about...

    Jim's C&D Carolina Red Flake 2022 Review.

    Correction: it was stated that this upcoming run of CRF will be the last of this leaf.

    Jim's C&D Carolina Red Flake 2022 Review.

    The only thing they’ve said for sure is that once their stock of this particular grade that they’ve been using for CRF is gone, then they will not be releasing any more CRF until something else “as special” comes along. There have been hints that they are nearing the end of the supply, but only...

    Premium: A Quality to Ponder

    I would think that the success of the HH line indicates that there is room in the market for something like you describe - an exploration of what can be achieved from the perspective of flavor profile and depth by blending only raw or absolute minimally processed leaf.

    Captain Black Platinum

    The description reads to me like it’s essentially “light.” Reminds me of when the cigarette brands were forced to change their naming conventions.

    Pipe cleaners

    I like the Vauen blue cleaners for everday use. They seem to do a fine job if I have to use them to absorb any moisture, and they seem to clean quite well. They’re a little fluffier and since I favor more open draw, most of my pipes have draft holes on the larger end of the spectrum. I keep...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Thank you! I had been wanting one for a couple of years, and when I saw his family at the Vegas show I had to get this one. Who knows why it’s taken me this long to smoke it, though… I’ve just been staring at it since October 🤣 I’ve heard from quite a few others about how special Paul was...
