***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***
Crooner, in my little Ropp, dedicated for Crooner (and occasionally Five Brothers), at the local lounge. Bought some cigars from ~1870 at a militaria show earlier today. They'll probably be terrible after all this time, but I'm sure as hell gonna stick 'em in a bag with a boveda and smoke 'em...- Pooh-Bah

Balkan vs English
To my mind, English vs Balkan is to pipe tobacco as Stout vs Porter is to beer. In long forgotten days, there might've been a distinction. But so far as naming goes, it's always just "Whichever sounds better".- Pooh-Bah

Let's Grow some Tobacco this Year!
Grew some Samsun and Rustica last year. This year, I'm tripling the Samsun and growing Burley instead of rustica. Also, deertongue.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***
Weather's nice enough and I've the day off, so I've set up shop on the porch. Have another bowl or two of Match Field And Stream, to be followed by... I dunno. One of these tins I brought out with me. As soon as I finished typing it started raining again. Ah well, I have a roof over my head...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***
Admiring the crescent moon, which has turned full due to lack of focus in this picture. A darker Quorum cigar (habano? I think?) in my primary pipe. AKA, "Altinok Meerschaum Billiard With Cumberland(?) Stem and a silver band where it cracked".- Pooh-Bah

Brands Featuring Cumberland Stems?
When I purchased my meer from Altinok it was described as having a Cumberland stem. Being ignorant in the ways of Cumberland, the most I can verify is that it's reddish and seems sturdy.- Pooh-Bah

Tired of Crooks
Last bit of fraud I remember was about six years ago, somebody used my card to purchase an account for Christian Mingle and some flowers. My initial reaction was to chuckle and say "Thou shalt not steal?"- Pooh-Bah

Anyone Play Video Games?
At present, I'm playing my way through the Dragon Age series. They certainly went a bit more into the "Action and a million side quests" direction for Inquisition. Not exactly a fan of that so far.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***
Having finished running around for two weeks as a cardiac scare turned into a cancer scare, turned into "That's a harmless lipoma on my chest that's rubbing on a nerve", I return triumphantly to the pipe! Meerschaum containing my homegrown from last year, spiced up a little with some DFK.- Pooh-Bah

Which Beverage with which Tobacco?
I'm partial to Russian Caravan or Gunpowder tea as a partner for my pipe, though I ran out of both months ago and haven't bothered to remedy that. Since then, it's been water, Assam tea, or black coffee.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, January 2024?***
Some months ago, I unloaded about 6 ounces of Half and Half into my glass jar of Random Dottle And Dregs. Apparently rubbing elbows with such interesting company (and the last half-inch of a cigar I dropped into the jar) has improved it to my senses. Continued breakin of bulldog, which I...- Pooh-Bah

Tobacco recommendations
I'll recommend Three Star Blue. Burns pretty well, believe it's flavored with amaretto. I also add another recc to the Sutliff pile.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***
While I was considering getting a dog, one of my friends said, "You should get a French bulldog". So I did. Ropp Vintage Superior Bulldog, smoking some Night Slice that SPC accidentally sent me (I ordered 4 oz Match VIP - I got 4 oz each of Night Slices, Evening Flake, and Balkan Supreme. I...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***
Ordinarily I'm not too big a fan of that general stummel shape (plateau-y?), but there's something about the stem that makes it work for me. As for myself this evening: C&D Crooner in the CLR (Cute Li'l Ropp), to be followed by Exclusive in that meer I use for everything.- Pooh-Bah
