    Hello from Istanbul

    Welcome from Louisiana! I’ve always wanted to see Istanbul. So much amazing history there. Would love to see the Hagia Sophia. Cobs are excellent pipes, but you need a proper meerschaum being in Turkey. ?

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    It’s still excellent tobacco, so it’s not like you bought three pounds of crap, but yeah, it seems less “sauced.” I thought it might’ve just been me or the fact that I’ve been smoking it in a new pipe, but now I’m not so sure.

    Covid Gave Me A Swift Kick In The Nuts

    Jesus, ABBA? That would’ve made me ready for the grave! Only thing worse would’ve been Bette Midler or Barbara Streisand!? I’m glad you’re on the mend, brother! I’ve had that crap at least once, probably twice. It was no fun, but thankfully it was never serious for me. Worst part for me was I...

    Gunge On Rim Of Pipe

    Water and one of those cheap electric toothbrushes for kids. A very minimal amount of detergent if it needs it. Should come right off.

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    I’ve got a cutter just like that floating around in a drawer somewhere.

    Whatcha drinking there, ‘scopes? Looks like this guy’s been there: ? I’m having a “wind-down” bowl of Coniston Cut Plug in the meer. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the “sauce factor” got turned on its head with this latest drop of GH&Co. This CCP is way more Lakeland-y than the...

    Top Five RYO Tobaccos

    I guess much of D&R could be considered RYO. I love their tobacco, but only smoke it in a pipe.

    It's Beautiful! 5lb Brick of Sutliff 507C

    And for those that don’t smoke as much, it’s a good way to ensure some well-aged jars later on.

    Thanks! He’s a little more high-strung than my last Dobe, but he’s also a little bit better watchdog.

    Tried out a Cigar for the First Time!

    Cigars are definitely pricier, but the auction sites are a boon in that department. I had all but quit cigars for years because of the prices. That’s how I got into pipe tobacco. Then I discovered the online auction sites about a year ago, and also some online vendors that have fair prices. Now...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    Bosun Plug in the Savinelli Marte on the backyard swing. I reckon I’ll go ahead and make this a Lakeland pipe.

    Show Us Your Savinelli Pipes!

    I haven’t posted to this thread in a while, so here’s where the Savinelli count stands right now: L to R: Punto Oro 616 with Capri style rustication, Marte smooth 616KS, rusticated Trevi 320KS, Saint Nicholas (2020) 616KS, and Saint Nicholas (2021) 616KS. Not a huge collection, but all are...

    A Pair of Pearls!

    Nice! Those are both gorgeous. ?

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2021?***

    St Bruno Ready Rubbed in a General. Me and the boy are out dove hunting again today, but there are even fewer birds than yesterday. Just an “off” year, I guess. I might plant some sunflowers next year.

    Half and Half with Tonka Beans

    What I’d like to know is, has Half & Half always had the fruity sauce, or was that added when the deertongue was removed from the recipe, in an effort to somehow “fill the void?”

    Not very many birds flying today, but we got a few.
