    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    This is probably the best pipe smoking advice I’ve received. I have been smoking 1-2 years now. I read this post maybe 4-5 months into this and thought it was sound advice. Then I promptly forgot it until recently. I have tried to follow these principles since then, along with consistently using...

    Thanks. If we go to Savannah while we’re down that way I’ll check it out.

    Good advice. This will be our first vacation this early in the summer. We have always gone July/August. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Thanks.

    St. Simons Island, GA

    Yea, that’s what I found. Hoping I was wrong. Going there for a week in June. Wanted to find a place to check out and enjoy my pipe. Can’t smoke inside where we’re staying. Too hot outside at the beach in June for my tastes.

    Can someone recommend a Brick & Mortar shop in or near St. Simon’s Island, GA that carries pipe tobacco and related items?

    Tin date

    Is there a way to know the date of this tin of Pembroke. The only numbers are on the back of the tin.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    You’re right. So far I’ve enjoyed the results. It’s not a Nightcap clone, probably never will be, but it’s in the neighborhood and the fun of doing it and the savings is where the reward is.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    I am by no means a Perique expert but so far have been using Sutliff’s TS-20 Perique when adding to other blends. Not bad but I need more experience before passing judgment on it. When that is gone I may try another version.

    Any C&D Tuggle Hall Fans?

    I’ve never had Tuggle Hall but like you I love buying bulk to save money. Also like you, I love 965. If you try Tuggle Hall let us know what you think. My all time favorite blend, bulk or tin, is Arango Balkan Supreme. Similar make up to 965 but at bulk pricing. I have several different blends...

    Core Four

    To keep it at four and to have a variety, I’d go with: 1. Arango Balkan Supreme, I enjoy it more than any other blend. 2. C&D Bayou Morning, My go to back up when not smoking number 1. 3. 5 Bros, just simple Burley bliss. 4. C&D Crooner, Can’t explain this one, sometimes I just want it.

    Any Pipe-Related OCD Tendency?

    I tend to over tend the tobacco as I smoke. Trying hard to refrain.

    Nice looking pipes you’ve COBbled together! I like ‘em.

    Arangos Balkan Supreme??

    Hands down my favorite regardless of its distribution history. Not just my favorite bulk blend but favorite period. I’m not skilled enough at breaking down its attributes or why it’s my favorite. It simple hits all the buttons for me. I have a few pounds stored so I don’t have to do without it...
