    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    A bit too breezy on the patio this evening so relegated to the garage again. Smoking Uhle’s Perfection Plug Burley topped off with a third of a bowl of Le Petit Robin.

    The Explorer...Going All In for Adventure's Sake

    "Until then, I want to journey through the small batch blenders, get a bit of the road less travelled by and wander off the beaten path." I posted this below in another thread. It may interest you if you are interested in exploring small batch blenders. Wilke Pipe Tobacco has a good selection...

    Vintage and Modern Kaywoodie Comparison

    This is a great post, thanks. Being new to the pipe, the thought of 10,000 bowls in one pipe is hard to imagine. Briar is quite an amazing natural material.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    Relaxing in the garage out of the wind. D&R Two Timer with some Royal Scot mixed in. Topped it off with a big pinch of Five Brothers for kindling. Smoking it in the Ropp Vintage 32S.

    General Help With a Specific Pipe

    Wilke Pipe Tobacco has a good selection of in-house bulk aromatic and nonaromatic tobacco. Their aros where the first I tried that tasted somewhat like the tin note. The base tobacco is good and has a nice tobacco flavor in addition to the toppings. It is not like smoking hot air. There has been...

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    Upon closer inspection I noticed that your model 29 has a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. That is a classic.

    Any EDC CCW'ers?

    N Frames, oh yeah! l picked up this 629-3 MG last year. It came with Ahrend’s boot grips. I added the Hogue X frame monogrip. I usually carry a S&W J frame. Either a steel framed .357 magnum or an aluminum framed .38 Special, depending on the circumstances. @Model 29, I like that plated 29.

    I’ll stick with it. 4 oz. should let me know one way or the other. 😀

    Nice pipe! I ordered 4 oz. of Pegasus on Friday. I am looking forward to trying it for the first time.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2024?***

    I hear you on pushing through once I start a job. A doctor recommended No Salt salt substitute in water to prevent or eliminate cramping. It is potassium, same as Gator Aid without all the sugar, and less expensive . I put 1/4 teaspoon in my water bottle when I am working in the heat. I drink a...

    First Shipment of Tobaccos Have Arrived

    Yes, good advice. I would recommend getting a tin of My Mixture 965 as well. It is a good blend that is in between Nightcap and Early Morning Pipe for Latakia level. I bought all three when starting out and found that I liked MM 965 the best.

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    I received this Sharpfinger as a Christmas gift about 46 years ago. So, what did you end up smoking in that beautiful pipe?

    Starting To Show Some Color

    You are correct. The car had no front bumper. I am not sure what was going on with the paint. I didn't look too closely. The hood was really bad.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I think mine had extra infusions. Hooked up to a drip IV. The darn thing ghosted my mouth 😂 I had to wash the residue off my lips with a wet washcloth then gargle with mouthwash to get rid of the overpowering taste 😝

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I am curious about the Acid cigars. A few friends have raved about them so I was excited to try It. The one my brother bought me was my first and only. It had a dark wrapper and smelled like heavy perfume. There was a coating on the wrapper that tasted of perfume and burned my lips and left a...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    My brother, not a cigar smoker, bought me a handful of different cigars for my birthday. The best of the lot was an Oliva O. It was a great cigar. The Acid not so much. He said the Acid was highly recommended by the cute girl behind the counter at the smoke shop. We had a good chuckle over it.
