    1. Lane 1-Q 2. Mac Baren Mixture 3. Amphora Special Reserve No. 2 (I’d have McCranie’s McArris as #1 but it is sadly no longer available it seems since McClelland ceased operations.)

    I think I am about to ask a dumb question, but what is “bergs”? PS: I like the Hungarian pipe.

    Ye Yes. John Lee Hooker. Bluesman and pipe smoker as I am sure has been mentioned many times before on this site.

    Filter or no filter?

    I tend to use a filter with a corn cob because of their relatively gaping wide open draught hole, where the hardwood inserts the cob.

    Pipes.org?

    It was the early days of online forums for pipes and tobaccos for me, for sure. But definitely a turning point, and an exponential increase in my learning curve about this hobby.

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024
