Drucquer Sale?
There was one recently, I want to say it was late November or early December? I believe it preceded the GL Pease/C&D dual sale.- ClenchedBilliard

Your Blend Of The Year 2022
2022 was a big year of sampling for me. 1000+ hours of overtime gave me countless chances for commuter smoking sessions and the extra $$$ to fund them! I’ve stumbled across plenty of new blends and blenders to keep me occupied. Some honorable mentions would be Country Squire Northwest Trek and...- ClenchedBilliard

P.S.Blend is on my radar to try. Every time Northwest Trek (a favorite of mine) gets mentioned someone always brings up P.S. Blend as a comparable blend.- ClenchedBilliard

Will Your Cellar be Viable For The Long Haul?
If my smoking habits remain as they are I have enough at home to last me roughly 4-5 years. I’ll surely accumulate more, but I don’t really have any intent to accumulate significantly more than that. I may change my mind, but since I’m stockpiling as a hedge against online purchasing...- ClenchedBilliard

The Country Squire Fans - Let's Talk
I'm with you there. I absolutely love Countryside and I so wanted to like Bear blend, the bag aroma is sooo good. But its just not there in the flavor. Its not a knock on them, that's 99.9% of aromatics for me.- ClenchedBilliard

The Country Squire Fans - Let's Talk
Figgy Pudding is the only aromatic I've found besides Wilke Vermont Maple that actually tastes like something. Shepherds Pie and Angry Cornishman are very pleasant everyday English blends, as is Bag End though it is a bit mild for my smoking tempo. Northwest Trek defies convention and is just an...- ClenchedBilliard

The dreaded demise.......
I’d have some sort of plan in mind. If it’s a blend you can’t bear to be without then cellar all you can afford, or have some alternatives in mind should the dreaded day ever come.- ClenchedBilliard

What’s a church warden like?
I’d tell you about them, but it’s a long story *ba dum psh* But seriously, I do most of my smoking while driving and having a long pipe allows me to light my pipe and watch the road at the same time. And they are just flat out aesthetically pleasing to me.- ClenchedBilliard

Whatcha Smokin' for the Holidays?
I’ve got a hefty jar of last years Watch City Elf Dandruff I’ve been chipping away at here and there. The holidays this year has me on a comfort blend kick, so I’ve been hitting the Northwest Trek, Shepherds Pie, and Countryside pretty hard. I’ve got some Figgy Pudding coming tomorrow to add to...- ClenchedBilliard

Is there any kind of guide to C&D?
I’ve smoked my way through a hefty portion of their roster in the past 20+ years of being a loyal C&D customer. Read through some descriptions and find 4-5 that sound like they might tickle your fancy and dive in. Once you find a couple you like just branch out and try other similar blends until...- ClenchedBilliard

Packing pipes for days
On days that I'm working I will usually pack my 2 commuter smokes the night before. I smoke one on the way to work, and one on the way home. Sometimes if I wind up drying more tobacco than I need I will just pack the rest into another pipe and set it aside to smoke later.- ClenchedBilliard

Bulk English
My absolute favorite bulk English lineup is : C&D Mountain Camp, Watch City The Churchwarden, and Wilke Crystal Palace and #400. I’m a newcomer to Wilke, but man do they make some great English blends!- ClenchedBilliard

Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?
I smoke roughly an ounce per week. If I stopped buying tobacco today my stash would last me about 4-5 years at that rate. I’m trying to whittle down 6-8 blends to cellar deeply, not to age them per se but to garner against extinction of my favorites. Blends or entire blending houses can vanish...- ClenchedBilliard
