    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Tonight I'm back to smoking a pipe for the first time since my big dental surgery, and taking advantage of the opportunity to try a new tin of tobacco I've never tried before that I got in the mail while I was recovering: The Mac Baren produced Bell's Three Nuns. It's really rare for me to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Thanks Silverwing, and everyone else who wished me well! Even though I was really nervous about it the surgery went smoothly and I got through it just fine. It'll be about 10 days until I can smoke my pipes again, just waiting until my gums have healed enough that dry socket is no longer a...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    Some Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired in a Dr. Grabow Royalton to settle my nerves, because boy am I ever nervous tonight! Tomorrow morning I'm getting all 12 of my remaining teeth taken out so that (when my gums heal in 3 months or so) I can get dentures, and I've been having a whole heck of a lot...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***

    I haven't been on the forum for a week or two, but I'm still smoking my pipes every day! The past week or so all I've been smoking is pure Virginias, alternating between Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia, Capstan Blue, Capstan Gold, and the ounce or so of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake that was...

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    Whelp, I got my pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh regular in the mail from SmokingPipes this afternoon, cracked it open, and gave it a sniff. Now I'm not sure exactly what Sir Walter Raleigh is supposed to smell like, having never had it before, but this tobacco smells like it was soaked in enough...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I always take my dog out for a late night walk sometime between 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM (I'm a bit of a night owl) and usually bring a pipe along with if the weather is accommodating. Tonight I brought the Morgan Bones Milan, loaded up with Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Loose Cut. Two days later I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Smoking the Dr. Grabow Royalton today and I'm on my second pipeful of what I think is a really fantastic and underappreciated blend, Super Value Bourbon Whiskey. I've made it a point to try every whiskey flavored blend I could get my paws on, and I'll be darned if Sutliff's Super Value...

    Continuing the easygoing aromatic theme for today, it's Gawith Hoggarth Bob's Chocolate Flake in the Morgan Bones Milan tonight!puffy

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Smoking Haunted Bookshop twice last night may have been a mistake, because oh boy does it ever feel like someone rubbed my throat down with sandpaper today! That's alright though, it just means that today will be a mellow aromatic day while I wait for my throat to recover. This morning's smoke...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I only smoked my pipes twice today, but Haunted Bookshop was my smoke of choice both times. The first smoke was in a Morgan Bones Milan and the second was (and still is, since I'm smoking it this very moment) in a Dr. Grabow Lark. It may not be the smoothest blend in the world, but nothing...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Thanks for the suggestion! I actually have some Winchester and like the flavor quite a bit, but alas it gives me a pretty sore throat every time I smoke it like almost all of C&D's blends do unless I drink a throat coating beverage while smoking them. I don't know what it is about C&D's...

    Danish Sir Walter Raleigh

    I've got a pouch of Sir Walter Raleigh regular on the way from SmokingPipes that should be here by the end of the week, so I'll report back when it arrives as to whether or not I got a vinegar bombed pouch. I'm hoping I'll get a good batch without the vinegar, but after reading all the reports...

    Small, Medium, Large Tins Or Bulk Preference

    I like little 1.5 to 2 ounce tins. I tend to smoke a pretty wide variety of blends so it takes me quite awhile to go through a small tin, and that gives my cellared tins a good long time to age while I'm smoking through whatever I currently have open and stashed away in an 8 oz Ball jar. Bulk is...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Thank you Jim! I'll give both of those a try! 👍 For now I'm back home smoking with my good friend Captain Black original, and this cob is sure getting one heck of a workout today! It'll be getting a good cleaning after this and rested for a couple days.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    A little late night pipe under the streetlight as I ponder what might make a good "All day, anytime" blend. First I ran through a cob of Cornell & Diehl Pegasus, now I've got it loaded up with Prince Albert. It's a cob so I don't particularly mind smoking it twice in the same day without giving...

    Nording Compass Pipes

    I once heard the aesthetics of the Nording Compass described as, "a bespoke crack pipe" and ever since then I've never had the courage to pick one up and try it out. They sure do have a unique look to them and I've also heard that they're very good smokers, but I don't need the police showing up...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Carter Hall in a Dr. Grabow Lark. I really enjoy Carter Hall, but every now and then I get this weird astringent chemical flavor hit from it. Not sure what that's about but I put up with it since I very much like the mellow burley/virginia flavor with it's subtle hints of bourbon and cocoa I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Haunted Bookshop in a Country Gentleman cob for me tonight. In spite of the fact that it can often irritate my throat if I don't have a beverage while smoking it, Haunted Bookshop may very well be my all time favorite pipe blend. I just love that "tastes the way a musty old bookstore smells"...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    This morning I started my day with Mac Baren 7 Seas Red Blend; which is something I haven't had in quite awhile. It's a pleasantly tart sour cherry blend, and while I don't like it quite as much as Cult Blood Red Moon it's still an easy second place for me when it comes to cherry aromatics and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I started my day with Orlik Golden Sliced in the Morgan Bones, and now I'm having a nice leisurely evening smoke of some Cornell & Diehl Pegasus in a Country Gentleman cob. I've always smoked Pegasus in very small pipes since I found it a little harsh, but trying it now in a larger pipe it's...
