    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    I must say, the vinegar/BBQ smell on Virginias always appeals to me, because I associate that smell with the dried fruit and complex woodsy tastes I get from it. The taste smell mismatch in tobacco smoke becomes less of a factor over time, as your brain starts to make certain associations...

    Sparkplug - Initial Issues

    So I popped my first tin of Sparkplug yesterday. It smells fantastic. I'm a huge fan of GLP blends, and the collaboration with SG makes it doubly interesting. The "plug" itself is a plug only inasmuch as it consists of pressed leaves (i.e. it's not a cake). However - the plug itself is fairly...

    Peterson Iceberg - Pair of “Bow” Pipes

    12 Down, Two Elude Me

    The new line all has the dark stain, which looks out of place in the group. They will turn up......

    12 Down, Two Elude Me

    Aside from the rare “Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” Pipes, I’m nearly there. Lestrade and Hudson elude me in the smooth (not dark) format.....

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    Do not go gentle into that good night Dylan Thomas - 1914-1953 Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not...

    Improve My Modest Cellar

    That’s a treaty diverse list! I would add a lat bomb or two - eg GLP Gaslight, Capt Earls Ten Russians or Stimulus Package. I’ve stocked deep on the SG FVF - it ages magnificently.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    Quiet nights in a 1961 Dunhill 4S. She’s as old as me, and I’m about the same condition ! (I restored it a few years ago, bowl is reamed quite big)

    Rotations?

    Interesting to hear different views! I went through a phase of buying old pipes on eBay and restoring them, and collected a lot of pipes. This has been aggravated by some I bought because I enjoy them as pieces of art ( e.g. a collection of all the Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipes - I now have 12...
