    Has Anyone Tried C&D St. P’s Day 2023 Reserve?

    No. I also received a free tin of C&D's Saint Patrick's Day Reserve 2023 from SP when I got my new Peterson Sherlock Holmes Lestrade on March 7th. My tin is just sitting here too. From the tin description, not my thing. On the other hand, although SP ended the promotion on Mar 20th, with the...

    My Little Collection

    I like this one! It reminds me of a Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat with bent stem, but not made from corn cob. Something about that pipe says to me: Reliable. Joshua, is that pipe made of Briar, or some other wood? - Sherm Natman

    Homegrown Burley 64?

    You guys who are growing are AWESOME! I love this thread! I don't have the gumption to even attempt this, so I will just bow from the ankles in humble reverence to your growing projects. One thing I've already learned from this thread: I like pictures of newly-born tabak plants, much better...

    "Cigar" Type in Pipe Blends

    How about some C&D Cigar Leaf, or Sutliff TS-11 Cigar Leaf... Can't get much closer to a cigar than that. Alternately, you could simply pack him bowl of the filler tabak from his favorite brand of store bought cigar; or simply cut the end of one his stogies into a coin with a razor blade and...

    "Cigar" Type in Pipe Blends

    Opps!.. I forgot to mention the most basic part of the answer to your question: PA Broadleaf 41 is a specific strain of Burley. As I understand it (?) Pennsylvania Broadleaf 41 is grow primarily for Cigar Filler, and differs from it Connecticut cousin, in that PA 41 can also be used for snuff...

    "Cigar" Type in Pipe Blends

    Sutliff specifically indicates that their TS-11 Cigar Leaf is loose cut, Pennsylvania Maduro tips. In cigar lingo Maduro usually is used to mean dark; whereas, in Spanish, literally: ripe, from Latin mātūrus ripe, mature. 90% of the tabak grown in PA is Seedleaf Type 41. - Pennsylvania State...

    Exploring a Blender’s Entire Product Line

    It's probably not the answer you are looking for, but way back when I first got involved with smoking a pipe, I went through the entire Super-Value line - which number about one dozen. I don't smoke anything like these types of flavored tabaks today; but, iirc, the 2 big stand-outs for me where...

    In Defense of Codger Blends

    Occult Detectives Stories from the Pulps!

    Brother @cosmicfolklore , check out any book by Erle Stanley Gardner - ala' Perry Mason - no Sherlock here, and no Occult.... just dangerous dames with great gams, murderous men in hats who smoke and curse, squealing punks who get what's coming to them, and plenty of gun-fire, knifing, boozing...

    A tobacco journey ...

    You might want to reconsider forming a judgement of Burley and Burley Blends based on SWR non-aro version, for it is still topped with both Anise and Molasses. I love Burley and Burley Base blends - it's 80% of what I smoke - and yet, the only reason I do not smoke SWR is because of the...

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

    Now Smoking: Not sure what I was really in the mood for as my next bowl, as I continue to break-in the new Ratty 5" Distillery 107 rusticated apple with fully bent Acrylic stem; but, I definitely needed to give the PA a break. So, rather than stand in-front of my tabak inventory like an...

    Occult Detectives Stories from the Pulps!

    Absolutely! 😍 In addition to Algernon Blackwood, I read all the so-called Lovecraft Circle writers: H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Bloch (Psycho), August Derleth, Robert E. Howard (Conan), Fritz Leiber, etc, etc, etc; and, the writers who inspired them: M.R. James, Lord Dunsany...
