    Southern Fried Pipe Club - Nashville

    Great news and you guys have already been active. Sorry I missed the first show; wish I had known. I'll be signing up.

    Hearth & Home Black House

    It's interesting to see the different reactions and I'm sure the hype may have set the expectations unrealistically. That said, I think BH is great and it's actually one of the blends I can pick out the Burley and enjoy it. Magnum Opus is a bolder blend but I tend to save that for special...

    What Tobacco Every Piper Should Have or Try

    I don't know why, but that really surprises me, Jud. I figure anyone who's been smoking for a few years has gone after EMP if they like their English blends. It's sort of legendary, it seems. I wasn't thrilled with it. A little more Perique than I like. That being said, my go to for the AM...

    Another Help Me Fulfill My Order Thread

    Thanks all. I'm sure it will keep me latakia warm and toasty over the winter months :puffy:

    Well the order arrived safe and sound! Thought you all might like to see the fruits of your suggestions :)

    Another Help Me Fulfill My Order Thread

    Thanks for all the recommendations! I ordered: 1 8oz tin of Westminster, 2 2oz tins of Quiet Nights (P&C was out of the 8oz), 1 8oz tin of Meridian, 8oz Black House, 8oz Magnum Opus, 2 1.5oz tins of Larry's Blend (they were out of 8oz; almost went bulk, but saved money for some others to try)...

    @metarzan: Blue Mountain is a great blend. It's a stronger blend than the Frog's but similar. @Jud: Unfortunately, Old Dublin had something in it reminding me of cigarettes. I ended up trading my last tin of it.

    Larry's blend will probably make it on the list. Ten To Midnight is a good blend but a little heavier in the nic department for my tastes. I do enjoy it once in awhile though :) I have a few tins of SL but had a hard time getting into it - something about it just didn't sit right but I could...

    Another Help Me Fulfill My Order Thread

    Part of my Christmas gift is getting to do a rather large tobacco purchase and so I'm soliciting ideas from my fellow English blend connoisseurs. My favorite blends are HH Daybreak (AM) and GLP Westminster (all day) along with HH Magnum Opus (special occasions). I've given up on VA's and I only...

    Drying...it works.

    Definitely propose dry time; it can change things. There have been many blends that are ready to smoke right out of the tin that I don't enjoy (Virginias and VAPers, it seems) but when I give them even just 10-15 minutes of air time they become great smokes. I think, especially with Perique...

    N-hit with Early Morning Pipe

    When I hear a blend is heavier in N, I'll pack a smaller bowl (half or less) and see how I react. Also, don't be afraid to put the pipe down for a bit when you notice it's more than you'd like. I've only more recently discovered I don't have to avoid those blends, just handle with care.

    Whats Going On With TV?

    +1 +1 +1 We don't have cable. We do have Netflix and watch a few shows but that's minimal. We were visiting my parents last week and watched some show on DIY called 'Kitchen Crashers' and I thought 'What the hell has happened to people's attention spans?!?' because this show couldn't focus on...

    N-hit with Early Morning Pipe

    I've not had EMP yet but smoke Russ' Daybreak almost every morning which was made as a sort of replacement when EMP wasn't available for a while a few years ago. No nic noticeable with that one and that's always on an empty or almost empty stomach. I'm really curious how those compare cause my...

    The intersection of history, physics and philosophy...

    I see this type of thinking all the time but find it misses the point. To state that physicists are too busy to worry about philosophy is as good as saying we shouldn't worry about whether our findings are logically valid. If that's the case then how could we know anything at all? Stephen...

    The intersection of history, physics and philosophy...

    That doesn't follow. Just because someone may not be an expert in a particular field doesn't mean they can't comment on it. Of course, you said it's hard to justify, which may be correct but it's the arguments that matter in the end, not the persons accreditation. Thought I'd post some more...

    What do You Carry Your Pipes In?

    I've got the one that is pictured in lankfordjl post. I haven't tried to stretch the leather to fit my Ben Wade (carry that one a lot) but I do put it in there, just not through the sleeve. It carries that and my Neerup well. I don't often pack it with tobacco since I'll typically carry a tin...

    Best English Afternoon Blends

    Ok, SL about hit it. It's missing just a little something and I can't put my finger on it. I was a little surprised at just how pleasant it was. I'm going to give it a few more go arounds. I've not been able to like Old Dublin :( I tried it, different pipes, dry times, etc., but something in...

    Best English Afternoon Blends

    SL is a good suggestion. I was associating it with a milder flavor profile so haven't given it a go. Will try that one tomorrow. Is the Perique very strong in Cerberus? I enjoy it in small quantities but it can really kill a lot of blends for me... I think Escudo is about my limit with...
