    Sasieni Ruff Root Light

    Crazy...I had to do a double-take when I saw those pictures; I'm smoking that pipe's identical twin and actually had to take it out of my mouth and make sure it wasn't the one in the photos. Eerily similar blast / grain pattern to mine. Aw man, now I'm going to have to bid on it....

    So What Are You Drinking

    Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

    Tobacco Cellar

    Nice spread, hfearly :clap: Really like the colour coding. I too use tobaccocellar,com, it's a great no-frills route to keep the data stored and fun to check out other cellars. It needs some tweaking for sure, particularly in the usage tracking--there is no way my cellar will last me 77...

    New Box Pass Thread

    Yes, taerin / Eric / He Who Would Not Be Named gracefully bowed out of this round, I thought I notified you via PM Baron but my scattered brain may have simply imagined that...stranger things have happened, and if so, I do apologize. I also thought I posted that, but now I look back and see that...

    Monday Night Fights III: Irish Civil War

    I'm siding with the UF for this one too. For me it's the ultimate small-chambered Dublin smoke, for obvious reasons. Strangely, I always hear "Danny Boy" done techno / dubstep style in my head while smoking it...perhaps it's the nicotine. :crazy:

    The Best VaBur May Not Be a Pipe Tobacco At All....

    The "new" Three Nuns is a VaBur, eschewing the Perique for white burley and dark-fired Kentucky. It's a pale shadow utterly different from its previous incarnation, but a very good blend in its own right, and a nice ribbon / shag cut that's suitable for RYO as well. They really shouldn't have...

    Good Bulk VaPer

    Anni Kake is brilliant, a sweet, savory, punchy VaPer that ages divinely, as stated. Daughters & Ryan's SJ Rimboche is a great loose cut that is on the opposite end of the spectrum, a very dry, bright VA-forward blend with 100% St. James--I love it as a blender, usually upping the Perique to...

    New Box Pass Thread

    It made its way to VA safely, at least according to the USPS.

    So, Honestly, When Is "Soon"?

    In tracking the last two years' purchases I've saved over 5% compared to current prices, roughly $200. That's a good enough reason for me. You're losing money by not buying!

    Club Blends and Online Retailers

    Ahoy undecagon, glad to see you're interested in the NYPC blends! They're fantastic (unrepentant plug there). Pipes & Cigars is not only the retailer for them, they were created in co-operation with Russ Ouellette--we gave him either recipes (in the case of Jack's Shanty) or a specific blend...

    Opinions on Chacom Pipes

    I love mine, and am smoking one right now coincidentally. I think they're great, underrated pipes for the money. If one catches your eye, it's worth it.

    NY Pipe Club Meeting-IPSD and tobacoo find

    Though Vernon is rather trim, if not quite diminutive, he is one of the giants in the hobby. And that's just one of the reasons why.

    Monday Night Fights II: Frog Morton OTB vs SPC Plum Pudding

    Frog with a KO in the first :30. While usually reserved in my dislike for blends, Plum Pudding is one which inexplicably elicited extreme, visceral biochemical rejection from every cell in my body. Even the invading germ cells and other detritus. FMOTB is conversely a delightfully palatable...

    What Are You Smoking? *February 2013*

    Vacation Return to Sad News

    Sorry for your troubles, trail. Avoid the pitfall of trying to blame or second guess; it was a circumstance beyond your control, however unfortunate and devastating. Keep faith that through this loss and sorrow, more strength and love will be built into your life.

    McClelland's Organic Flake

    I've enjoyed a couple tins and cellared a few more of C&D's brief offering of Sun Butler's (Organic Smoke Inc.) collaboration, "Organic Pipe Dreams", which was grown with certified organic practices and treated only with organic agave, prune, and vanilla extracts to act as mold inhibitors. The...

    Today, International Pipe Smoking Day 2013, I Resolve To...

    I resolve to complete a few blends I've been working on in my laboratory, finish at least some of the dozens of reviews I've started, and hopefully make a trip to some Mediterranean growing regions. And seeing others' posts, I'll add introducing a friend to the hobby.
