    New Sun Bear in Stock

    I still haven’t touched the 8 tins I bought in 2020, I don’t think my palette would pick up on the subtleties of the different honey from year to year but I’m glad to see this is a hit! I’m really hoping the florals come through in the taste, either way, I’m sure I’ll love this blend once I get...

    Watch it Over and Over

    Office Space The Cable Guy The Princess Bride Shawshank Redemption Most David Lynch films (but not all) Wes Anderson films A Christmas Story & Christmas Vacation (family tradition to watch during the holidays but I am getting sick of them but they are definitely classics) (Many more but those...

    Plum pudding

    Unfortunately, you aren’t going to get your answer here. I love it, others hate it, some think it’s okay. I think it’s unique among the sea of English/Balkan blends out there. I’d say give it a try for yourself, only way to really know for yourself.

    2016 CRF Issues

    I smoked a lot of SotE Flake. Always buy in 8oz tins. I’ve never had a moldy tin. Actually, I’ve smoked a lot of C&D blends, and I’ve only had two separate instances of mold, both in 2016 and both the times the tobacco was replaced hassle free. I’d say you are not making a gamble at all.

    Me in my old age

    This gave me a great chuckle! Well done sir!

    Pots vs. Stacks.

    Stacks bring out the flavors of lightly topped blends, for instance, I think St. Bruno & Erinmore Flake taste best in a stack. I’m thinking about getting another one to dedicate to the Saint. Ropp has some amazing pipes and great stacks for surprisingly inexpensive prices.

    Tobac-cologne

    That is what I imagine Sex Panther (Anchor Men) smelling like. Pure masculine old school fragrance, not the wimpy masculine fragrances they are making these days. Civet cat “musk” and oak moss makes for a good masculine fragrance.

    Tobac-cologne

    My understanding is that if you made a true absolute out of tobacco and put it on your skin, it could make you very sick. The Lime & Nutmwg of that series is really good too but I love lime in a fragrance.

    Tobac-cologne

    Interesting and funny how perspective is everything. To me, it’s a classic men’s cologne.

    Ketchup - Storage and Uses

    I love Ketchup (catsup). My local store (H‑E‑B) makes their own brand using sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, it’s good stuff. Don’t have many special uses other than my Grandmas Sloppy Joe recipe. It calls for some mustard, a lot of Ketchup (to taste), white vinegar and diced bell...

    Amazing carvings, left unsmoked?

    These pipes are made for smoking, and that’s just what they’ll do, one of the days the pipes are going to smoke all over you! 🎵🎶 Boy, I really need to start hanging out with people my own age. It’s basically just me and my 6 year old daughter, so everything comes out in either song or rhyme.

    Ennerdale Ready Rubbed

    I honestly don’t know what almond tastes like, well you know, the impressions of almond, I eat a lot of almonds but don’t know what the “flavor” of almond is. I’m guessing it’s like grape candies taste nothing like actual grapes but we all agree to call that candy grape flavor? Do you have any...

    Stonehaven Replacement

    Weird, Blackpool and No Name are worlds apart in my opinion. Blackpool having a very obvious licorice type flavor and No Name having a strong perfume flavor. I just think it’s interesting that you find them similar.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    It’s exciting to find something like that. I found a place near my parents house that sells Amphora and other codger blends. I bought the Amphora, was going to try SWR but it was twice as much as the Amphora, which was surprising. While this wasn’t a gas station it was like a corner store that I...

    Tobac-cologne

    Speaking of Tom Ford. He copied this stuff (Neroli Portofino) and charged about 100 times what this goes for. But this a classic right here. Of course, TF has higher quality ingredients but a passerby will never know the difference. 4711 - still love this stuff.

    Tobac-cologne

    I think that may be just a tad out of his price range. I do like some TF, like his Tobacco Oud.

    Tobac-cologne

    I would maybe take offense if a buddy of mines lady friend told me I should wear cologne. That being said, I love wearing fragrances, it uplifts me, puts a pep in my step. Good fragrances can get really, really expensive but my suggestion would be Kiehl’s Original Musk. This smells like a...

    If You Could Have Only One...

    If I could only have one That would be no fun If I could have two Maybe that would do? On second thought, I think not! Surely more pipe and tobacco would be sought. Sorry, my daughter and I have be rhyming a lot….
