    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Is that you? Where was that? You're a complete match to that hobbit illustration! I gotta get myself to some mountains again to do the exact same thing. I haven't been in a while and definitely not since I started smoking. I actually had come across MacQueen pipes not that long ago, but they...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Indeed! Very much so. I really enjoy the reach. The way I can rest on my elbow and hold the pipe and take puffs (sips) I find really comfortable. I also, for some reason, really do not like the way I look with short (regular) pipes at all. I do have a couple that I smoke when I need to clench...

    Breaking in a brand-new Muxiang I 'modded myself with some 1-Q! I took a stubby Oom Paul and swapped the stem for a churchwarden which I then bent so that holds the pipe rim level. Now I've got my first Churchwarden Hungarian.

    It's finally warm enough to be outside on a local park. I've tossed Captain Black and a pipe in my backpack to have on hand for occasions like this

    Savory Taste from Sweet Blends?

    Thanks @Sinzalot, I did try Cult's Blood Red Moon last night and that was still pleasantly sweet. But maybe later this weekend and next week I could do just that and take a break and see what happens when I come back.

    Savory Taste from Sweet Blends?

    Now I'm curious to see if I can get that, too, at some point. My issue was mostly the "sudden" change. Where for weeks/months the blends tasted fairly consistent (each one different from each other of course) but then they all suddenly tasted savory and not at all like what I had tasted...

    Savory Taste from Sweet Blends?

    I'll keep that in mind if this persists or taste turns acrid. (I did have Cult's Blood Red Moon last night and that still tasted well)

    Savory Taste from Sweet Blends?

    Yes, I don't have that discerning palate either, but I would relish those moments when I somehow did everything right and got that delicious scent and taste from a draw. However, this was too prominent and consistent. I'm leaning toward's @Scottmi 's explanation right now, as that does seem to...
