    You Tube Pipe Channel

    Malcolm is a lot of fun. Cambridge poet and theologian and devoted pipe smoker. I enjoy his channel and came to it through Tolkien, of whom he is a significant fan, as though that weren’t obvious.

    The Dying Swan

    I read a quote once: "All socialism eventually tends toward brutality and all capitalism eventually tends toward fraud." The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. Whether it's a Big Mac or a box of matches, most things you want will be smaller and cost more than last year.

    Have Any Blends Gotten Better?

    If I can ask, how do you smoke C. Squire blends?

    Jim's C&D Sansepolcro 2024 Small Batch Review.

    Wow - I got the very last tin of Sansepulcro at 4Noggins.

    What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5

    As a certified Shogun nut, let me tell you you're in for a treat. I read the book when I was in grade school (quite a feat, 1300 pages, seemingly half of it in Japanese) and it's one of the great adventure novels of all time in my opinion. The 1980 miniseries with Richard Chamberlain was...

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    Bingo.

    Jim's C&D Sansepolcro 2024 Small Batch Review.

    Fantastic review, and it convinced me to get some. I wish I had a palate like that. It must be like having a sense of smell like a coon hound. I don't even know what "vegetal grass" tastes like. And then again, maybe not. Seems to be out of stock already.

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    Jeez, that's a tragedy. Some nice things there.

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    No way would I pay the prices I see for old tobacco. There is too much legitimately good new stuff being made. I just fantasize that they've stopped making (let's say) Ten Russians, and I'm buying the last few pounds in the world, and aren't I smart and lucky to be alive? All of the fun at...

    Escudo Alternative

    I didn't know it had changed. I have multiple tins in the 15 year old range and haven't had the new stuff. I guess I'll see when my order gets here though. Hoping the "whatsis" is at least half way decent.

    Oldest Smoked Tobacco...

    I have open now a 25 year old tin of Royal Yacht that is great - it's a real nicotine bomb though, best smoked lying on the ground. Also working on a 24 year old tin of Escudo that is just amazing. The Virginias have turned in to something really special. One of the great joys of old...

    Escudo Alternative

    There are loads of blends in this "market space" as they say, and I don't see that Escudo is any more expensive than anything else in tinned tobacco. I guess if you have to get something in bulk on sale, any of the C&D VaPers would be a good place to start and they run killer sales from time to...

    Help Date my Tobacco

    Thanks - nope, no dates at all that I can see. 06 and 08 seem correct. Thanks very much. Out of curiosity, how are you getting that from the label?

    Help Date my Tobacco

    I bought these tins of Dunhill Nightcap and Royal Yacht many years ago - maybe 15 - 20 years ago. Stupidly, I didn't write the date on them. Can someone decipher the labels and tell me if there is date information on them? Thanks.

    Escudo Alternative

    I just read an old article on the GL Pease site where he opened some very old tins of Escudo and compared them very favorably with Pease's Fillmore. Worth a try.

    Escudo Alternative

    Haha, yeah. Escudo sold out but I knew it when it was cool. Elizabethan Mixture is a standard benchmark VaPer, I believe. I'm branching out into that world and enjoy them both tremendously.

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

    I love Royal Yacht. I wish I had bought more years ago. A 25 year old tin of Royal Yacht to me defines the phrase "holy smoke." When Lane Ltd. was in Tucker, GA.
