    My First Corn Cob

    It’ll taste a little funkier than briar during break in. That’s normal.

    Carl Weathers Dies 😔

    Baby, you got a stew goin!!!! “You gon’ give that shit up, and you gon’ concentrate on golf.” Some of the best advice a man can receive. RIP, a diverse career to be sure. Not to mention he also played in the NFL for the Raiders.

    Rouseco Buoy Gold

    I understand your penchant for thrift, and while this buoy tobacco may be better than some might expect, it is my guess that somewhere in the neighborhood of 99/100 experienced virginia pipe smokers would adamantly prefer any and all of these blends as compared to the buoy. It’s cheap, and...

    Rouseco Buoy Gold

    Smoked quite a lot of Virginia blends have you? I would never expect a full accounting of course, but can you rattle off maybe 8 or 10 Virginia blends you have smoke in comparison to come to this conclusion?

    Must Watch Movie for Hard SF Lovers

    Must Watch Movie for Hard SF Lovers

    Oh, Sci-Fi makes more sense. My first thought was San Francisco and I was afraid to open the thread. Space horror sounds groovy. I’m in.

    Do I Need a Little Break?

    I suspect you will notice a difference. Everyone’s body is different, so while there are some good suggestions in this thread to eliminate extraneous variable, it’s certainly possible you just to give your mouth a rest. You are not crazy.

    Do I Need a Little Break?

    Palate fatigue is a real thing. If I smoke too much I can tell, for the reasons you described. A little break will help. But by little (at least for me) overnight will usually suffice.

    Geez! Bad luck man. I’ve order 6 or 7 times and only been held up once! Ive had 2 orders in the last month show up in mere days! Sorry man, you just drew the short straw this time. I did go through with whatever the papers were last time and had no issue other than the PITA. Everything...

    An Interesting Kaywoodie Meerschaum

    Hi All, Snagged this one from SP today out of pure curiosity. It appears to be from their Twin Bowl line from the mid 20th century, which was produced in both all meerschaum and briar with meerschaum inserts. These pipes were sold with two separate bowls that thread into a hollow chamber...
