    What Are You Drinking? August 2023

    Celebrating with my most expensive scotch (not saying much, I’m not that fancy) - a glass of Balvenie 14 Week of Peat. My company had some restructures and layoffs this spring that ballooned my KPIs rather dramatically, and as a consequence I’ve spent from April to now trying to close the gap...

    Greetings All!

    Bad Taste In The Morning

    I find a pretty rigorous routine of tooth brushing, flossing, tongue scraping, mouthwash, and tons of water almost always does the trick. A big part of it in my inexpert opinion is that smoking dries out your mouth, so I always make sure I drink a lot of water before bed and keep a big glass...

    Packing jars too tightly?

    Those are the exact proportions of weight and jar size! Glad to hear I didn’t misstep - I was about 15 jars deep before self doubt came bubbling up.

    Packing jars too tightly?

    I recently picked up some new, more compact mason jars for packing tobacco in, and they’re a little bit more compact than I expected. To fit a 2oz tin inside a jar requires compressing the leaf with a bit of force, and leaves essentially no headroom at the top. Is there any consequence to...

    Lord of the rings pipe

    I actually buy my MMs off off Amazon! There’s no int’l shipping fees that way

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Tupelo Review.

    This blend is really hitting me right - a wonderful summertime blend that’s sweet and creamy. The honey is very present, but doesn’t feel cloying to me at all. I’m really really enjoying this one - Jim’s review compelled me to buy a few tins (I normally only buy one of a new blend), and I’m...

    What I am smoking in August

    I have finally found an aromatic I enjoy this month, after a years long search. I recently purchased, among other tins, a tin of C&D Black Frigate and it’s absolutely delicious! I actually enjoyed it so much I ordered an 8 oz tin, which I never do, preferring to have many 2 oz tins for...

    O Canada!

    I believe you’re correct, and that it’s mostly just these rehosters of other peoples content that are driving up an outcry - it’s of course to their benefit to froth up the public and say “we’d love to bring you this content but your legislators won’t allow it” rather than paying said creators...

    What Are You Drinking? August 2023

    Ending the night with a dram of Lagavulin 16. Deliciously smoky but hard to justify the price for me. It’s insane how much the price has risen recently, even just the past five years. I’ve been experimenting, trying to find somewhat comparable scotch at a lower price to scratch that itch, and...

    New from PA.

    Welcome! Very nice to be able to smoke at work! I work from home outside of client meets etc, and being able to have a nice smoke now and then when I’m working is such a nice treat.

    It’s That Time Of Year Again 🍅

    Still waiting on my ‘maters to ripen up, I foolishly was late to plant this year and I’m reaping the consequences. Got about 70 right now a few weeks away from edibility and it’s driving me crazy. Those Zebra tomatoes are beautiful, Egg! I don’t know I’ve ever seen any that look like that...

    Thoughts From Millennials or Younger

    I think on top of the various negative social, health, and financial elements already outlined, there’s also the the general public opinion that young men smoke pipes as an affectation. I’ll say anecdotally that the very few young people I’ve seen with pipes in public were of a more eclectic...

    Hi Y’all

    Welcome from Canada! I have some family down in Texas - beautiful beautiful place. Not a lot of states that can boast such diversity of landscape.

    Illegal To Ship Tobacco To Maine

    Take this with a pound of salt, as I only have experience in Canada, which has a labyrinthine tax code for small businesses, but I would imagine you might also need to register a business number and file business taxes annually to qualify for the license, which are (here at least) far more of a...

    Hearts go out to Maui and the Big Island

    I thought this was a post about the new legislation regarding pipe tobacco sales and shipping into Hawaii. That’s horrible. I just saw some pictures of Lahaina this morning, what a tragedy. From what I hear, it’s not over yet either, with fires still burning in multiple areas. I wonder how this...

    Dishonorable Mentions

    The tin description says “lightly cased with a delicate maple flavor” - these aromatic tin descriptions keep hoodwinking me. Everything is touted as light, delicate, ethereal, and barely-there, and I keep ending up with tins that smell like a candle from Bath and Body Works. I have at this point...
