    I’ve tried quite a few blends in my short time smoking a pipe and I’ve only come across one so far that I absolutely did not enjoy- Haunted Bookshop.

    Visiting Belgium this Fall: Looking for Suggestions

Nice shops, food stalls and cafes everywhere. Also had a great experience going to a local football game! Nothing...

    What are You Watching? Year 2022

    Recently finished The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It’s based on the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. Easily a 5/5 for me. I just started Breaking Bad for the first time. I’m only a couple of episodes in but it’s holding my interest. Had to see what all the hype was about, lol.

    Question About War Horse Blends

    So would you say that the bar and green are definitely different enough to warrant trying both? I couldn’t exactly tell from the comparisons if they were very different or if they tasted similar but with different levels of topping.

    Question About War Horse Blends

    For those of you who have smoked the War Horse blends how would you compare War Horse green to the red? The main comparisons that I have found are that the red is decidedly stronger and less aromatic. Have you found that to be the case? Is it worth trying both? I have a sample of War Horse...
