    Best Bulk Englishes

    Agree with most. Yup,Proper English is a must. So is Arrangos Balkan Supreme. Surprised did not see C&D Pirate Kake on here. It’s smooth considering the amount of Latakia, one of my favorites for evening smoke

    Favourite Female Singers

    I’m sorry to hear. Heck, even twenty years ago you could hear a difference. I grew up in Vegas and took for granted that Sinatra was not going to live forever. I regret not seeing him in person. I saw Lou Rawls (met him as well after show. Nice man, kind man) in person and Diana Schurr). Small...

    Favourite Female Singers

    I saw them play together in Chicago, think it was 2000 or 2001 at an outdoor venue. Great concert. I’ve seen her perform three times, never disappoints, but she is a bit quirky, some of her between song comments and musings are odd.

    Favourite Female Singers

    Ella Fitzgerald always comes to mind for me, greatest Jazz vocalist ever. Diana Krall is also easy on the ears, and eyes.

    Fig Thief!

    Nice Ruger. I’m guessing you live where can use it on your property. That would get me in trouble (not that I have fig trees). I had a neighbor who took his revenge out on the squirrels that made a nest in his Nissan and snacked on some wiring. He had a good pump air rifle. The great squirrel...

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

    So this is unusual. I’m a lover of Latakia, and English blends are my jam. I’ve had some EMP that I’m not all that fond of, mainly because I feel the Latakia just is not present enough. So, naturally I figured Presbyterian would fall in same category. I had my first bowl, which I described as...

    A Pipe Smoker's Vices

    Well if we go by traditional explanation of vices: “A vice is a moral failing or a bad habit. Traditional examples of vice include drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco, and gambling in card games. But anything can be a vice, as long as there’s someone out there who views it as bad behavior or a...

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

    I had Presbyterian for the first time ever this afternoon. Smoked in a MM Dagner poker. I was surprised, I didn’t hate it. I can see where people like me say “there’s Latakia in this?” Not sure it’s going to be a go too, and maybe will get better with some years of age. Tonight I’m having PS...

    Can’t Enjoy My Pipe Without Alcohol

    I smoke English blends, and enjoy a nice scotch some nights. When it’s not an alcoholic drink, I prefer a good loose leaf tea. Try some Golden Monkey, with a little honey and a dash of milk, pairs well with pipes in my opinion.

    The Lure of the Cob!!??

    Yup, I love my covs. Started with briar, and have six briar pipes. Decided to give a cob a chance and bought a 2 pack country gentleman with one straight and one bent. Got forever stems on them both. I loved them so much I picked up a Dagner poker, Charles Towne Cobbler, and an Emerald somewhat...

    Robo Calls

    Depending on my mood, sometimes I mess with them. One time about 8 years ago I was insulting one of them and he started giving it back to me pretty good, was actually quite funny. One of my favorite things is to lead them on and then when they think they have a live one, and are ready to take...
