    Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake (No. 403) Nicotine

    I find it to be extremely mid. I rarely feel the nicotine, like embers, cuz I have many pipes a day. Last time I felt it was with Rattray's Stirling flake, which is supposed to be the old Peterson's Irish Flake recipe, or so I heard. Not a mild tobacco for sure.

    What Was Your Best Bowl This Week?

    A large bowl of Hal o the Wynd in the diamondback Sav 320, but my first taste of St James Plug comes in a close second. Now I need more St James, most likely in sliced form.

    Just Rewatched Contagion...

    Some will see this as an attempt to save face, but I will double down now and state that even if the hospital morgues here are overflowing with corpses, it's unclear to me how much social engineering, economic exploitation, opportunistic destruction of the US constitution(gee, when was the last...

    My Tried and True Ice Cream Recipe

    I've heard of recipes that use up to 12 eggs, but I've only tried this once. My ice cream came out very eggy tasting, but that could just be the fault of my eggs-- I haven't dabbled enough there. I think it could work well with something like french vanilla, but I'm more looking for a neutral...

    Any Craft Beer Drinkers on Here Lately?

    We have.... somewhat... of a scene here, in New York City(and surrounding areas). I pick up a different IPA with just about every supermarket visit, and they're almost excusively hazy DDH NEIPA. Some suck, but others are trascendental beverages. I've loved most things from Interboro, and having...

    My Tried and True Ice Cream Recipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Been cooking since I was a kid, and making ice cream for a little over a decade now because I saw an ice cream maker on sale online for about 20 bucks and thought, why not? I was a little cautious with the purchase, because all too often we...

    Corn Cobs

    A little tip I learned of recently: if you order from MM, they have natural/unfinished options for most of their cobs. So in the notes, it helps to write down that you prefer an unfinished piece and they may send you one. I got this information from an MM representative. I wish I knew this...

    Just Rewatched Contagion...

    I learned a valuable lesson once in my mid 20's I wish to share. Supposedly some huge hurricane was coming. The media was constantly bombarding the air waves here for weeks with non stop hurricane visuals, non-stop destruction, non-stop footage of everyone going nuts in stores buying all the...

    "Antique" Taste in Pipe

    Or worse, a dank basement. If any smell bothers you @xBengalSlicedx , I've had very good results with the activated charcoal method. Alcohol cleans in a more physical sense, it will strip away gunk(and stain, so be careful). If you clean a truly gunked pipe with enough alcohol, like say...

    Is Erinmore Lakeland Flavored?

    Is Erinmore Lakeland Flavored?

    Or just open up a box of Dove hand soap and inhale. Visualize tobacco as the substrate to this smell, and you know what Lakeland is.

    Any Love For Wessex Blends?

    My recently opened tin of Campaign Dark Flake was a big let down(I'm not kidding). It seems like the recipe changed, it once looked something like marlin flake apparently, but now what you get are just some generic, uniform standard rectangular cut K+K brown VA flakes with a molasses topping...

    Tobacco “Home Recipes” Suggestions

    Yep, I love tinkering. So far I have two Va/Bur/Per creations I think are worth sharing, as follows: 4 Parts Luxury Bullseye Flake to 1 Part MacBaren Old Dark Fired and 6 Parts Rimboche AP 3 Parts Stokkebye Turkish Export 1 Parts MacBaren Old Dark Fired I suppose you could substitute any...

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    Stokkebye Danish Export, and my first time smoking a Jeantet rusticated bulldog from eBay. Whelp, I did it you guys. I've finally managed to slow down in my smoking cadence. All it took was me trying a first test run of a ridiculously Lakeland ghosted pipe I ran 20 trillion pipe cleaners...

    What Are You Drinking? (February 2020)

    A Bell's Two Hearted Ale for breakfast at 10 am while test driving a miserably Lakeland ghosted Jeantet bulldog I just cleaned last night from eBay. It's one of those days... I swear I'm not an alcoholic, I just don't live by rules!

    Question About My Jeantet Estate And Potentially Removing The Stinger

    I too want to do this(don't have vice grips.. or pliars... or tools really, weird situation at home), but I tried to straighten the stinger because it wasn't even and it was fairly pliable. It looks like someone had twisted it before trying to unscrew it(assuming it even screws in) or loosen it...

    Question About My Jeantet Estate And Potentially Removing The Stinger

    Got a new pipe from ebay for 8 smackers, and I'm cleaning it up(Strong Lakeland ghost of course, the world would implode if I would for once get a pipe on ebay that didn't reek of Dove soap). Not sure if you can see, but the stinger is unlike most jeantet stingers I see, and the pipe itself is...

    What's Your White Whale?

    I suppose Stonehaven-- surprised to see no one else listed it so far, since it's the most in demand and highly priced blend that's actually still made.

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    Having a delightful bowl of PS Luxury Bullseye in an old Kaywoodie Flame Grain lovat. Last few bowls were finnicky for some reason but this time it's just singing.
