    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    I've read you voice this sentiment a few times here and am, frankly, baffled by it. I smoked Sobranie in the 80's and, indeed, loved it. But I'd say today's version is just fine. As is H&H Black House/White Knight. If there's a version that's not quite on point, IMO, it would be Sutliff's...

    Sun bear 2024

    It's crazy to me that people are bombarding SP for this blend. C&D produced 20K tins of this so it's not going to sell out today--and there are multiple other retailers selling it as well. I think I still have tins of the first runs of this so I'm probably going to pass as I was not terribly...

    Peterson B10. Are There Any Lovers/Haters of This Shape?

    I love the B10 and always thought it looked more Sherlock than most of the shapes in that series. I have to say I prefer the sandblasted versions, though.

    Favorite Navy Flake?

    Gawith Navy, GLP Windjammer and Navigator, and Stokkebye Navy pretty much do it for me.

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

    Breaking in this Barling Trafalgar bark with some Chelsea Morning. This is the first Barling I've purchased in the new line (I have a couple old TVF's) and I have to say I like it very much! Medium bowl, easy smoking.

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    Definitely a great buy in pipes! I have one of the cutty pipes with horn for travel.

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    I definitely love me some Petes. I waited patiently for just the right barley and rua pipes from them and love the Deerstalker shape quite a lot. Got one of the river series by them (Boyne), but the rare Petes seem to go fast.

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    I've definitely gotten lucky with estate Castello finds. I have a Sea Rock in a shape 16, Old Antiquary in a shape 55, and a Collection in a straight billiard (don't remember the shape number off hand). Didn't pay more than $150 for any of them, all of them in excellent condition. Everybody...

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    I was perusing the SmokingPipes estate sale and realized there are only a couple pipe makers left that I don’t already have a pipe by and feel motivated to buy. Namely, Askwith and Ardor. Otherwise, I have at least one pipe by everyone else I like. Who’s making pipes that you want but haven’t...

    Favorite Youtube Channel?

    I enjoy Eldritch Pipes (love his creations), Mutt’nchop (like the dad I never had), and Beans (for the reviews).

    Latakia and English blends

    There are some great Oriental forward English blends that are lighter in the latakia dept. I've been working my way through a tin of C&D Rajah's Court and love it; just a great Oriental forward English with light latakia that matches well with a morning cuppa. EMP is very much in the same vein.

    Secret Information re: 1792 Flake

    I also completely rub out Gawith flakes. The fold and stuff method is just gonna cause frustration most of the time.

    What Are You Listening To - July, 2024

    I've been on a weird Big Band kick lately and stumbled upon the great Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. I normally listen to alt rock/black metal and I'm surprised at myself for really digging this stuff. It also made me dig out some of my fave jazz albums from Bill Evans and Chet Baker...

    GLP Must Have Blends

    Almost everything in the Old London series is a big hit with me. Chelsea Morning may be the perfect morning smoke with a cup of coffee (can't vouch for tea). Gaslight, Quiet Nights, and Meridian are some of my favorite fall/winter smokes. Love Sixpence, too, but need to spend more time with...
