    McConnell Red Virginia

    It tastes like there is a raspberry essence or something like that in it. I did not care much for it.

    What shape of pipe is this?

    I assume it got it's name from Kevin Costner's character in the TV series about the Hatfields & McCoys.

    It's a Devil Anse with saddle stem.

    Cellaring Query - What are You Cellaring Most?

    I've been trying to stock up on some blends that might become unavailable for me in the future. Legislation, Brexit, the demise of Dunhill have all had a negative effect on what's available here. That and just having enough of my staples is my aim.

    My Mixture 965- a Review

    965 is the blend I was smoking when I suddenly stopped liking latakia. I did not like it. It's been about two years and I have hardly touched anything with latakia since.

    COVID and Lack of Tobacco Taste

    The flavor of smoke is much more elusive than than the flavors of food, simply because the food is much more substantial and gets thrashed around in the mouth interacting physically with your flavor receptors. I have a light cold ATM, not covid, but my sense of taste and smell is altered as...

    Anyone Tamp With a Finger?

    Of course. Always choose the easiest way to do things.

    New Savinelli Tortuga - authentic or not?

    Seems they stamp before they rusticate.

    New Savinelli Tortuga - authentic or not?

    You're OK. Here's my 602:

    White Briar with Odd Threaded Stem Connection

    It is a meerschaum, and beautifully colored.

    In The News

    They are bred stupid. Around here, whenever an old ewe (is this the correct term for a female sheep?) shows some intelligence it is promptly put down. The intelligent ones turn up now and then and they are shrewd enough to evade the herders, always finding paths and passes where humans can't go...

    Don't Look Up... Question for Everyone

    Many of us will eventually know that we are dying from whatever illness finishes us off. That's bad enough, but somehow acceptable as a condition of life. It would be so much worse to know that not only I, but my friends, family, every aspect of humanity and culture and worst of all, my kids...

    Hugh Hefner's Favorite Recipe: Lamb Chops

    Looks like a pleasant meal. Hefner comes off as slightly neurotic.

    Let’s Talk Aromatics

    Then I'll elaborate. The Mac Baren Mixture is a mixture of a lot of different tobaccos, 50 or so, I don't remember, that have been toasted with honey or something to make a very complex blend, so complex actually that you might not sense it. Slightly honey sweet with some sour notes and a...

    Let’s Talk Aromatics

    Most aromatics I've smoked I haven't liked much. A few have been good though. The ones I keep buying are Mac Baren's Mixture Scottish Blend and Amphora Full Aroma. And, if these are considered aromatics, St Bruno, 1792 Flake, Royal Yacht. All of the above taste like tobacco with a little of...

    Show Us your Zippo Lighter

    This one's in my pocket at all times. I like the sharp features. 1935 replica.

    Must Be 18 To Listen To Radio Show?

    Reminds me of the 17 blondes who stopped outside a nightclub: Oh no, we need to be 18 to get in! Anyway, anyone under the age of 18 who wants to listen will just do it anyway and nothing is going to happen. It's a reminder, not Gestapo.

    Your Best Pipes Under $100 You Smoke

    Most of my pipes cost somewhere between 80 and 120$ new. My favorite smokers are all in that range, 3 Stanwell 83 pipes in different finishes and a Savinelli 602 Tortuga.

    Sous Vide - Gamechanger!

    I'll let it be known that I do not always get to pick and choose what meat I eat. I buy some, lamb, beef and poultry, and then I get about five sheep a year, some lambs, maybe an old ewe and one ram, and they aren't always all soft and tender from the get go. I also get whale meat in abundance...

    Sous Vide - Gamechanger!

    That can't be done unless you eat raw or precooked. Or fast food.
