    Who Would Be In Your Dream Rock/Blues Band?

    I would want to play bass for Gov't Mule with as a trio - their original bassist, Allen Woody, was a huge inspiration to me as a teenager - this inspiration was part of the reason I ended up moving to Nashville and ended up playing on the road for a few years. The original trio lineup had such...

    Thoughts On STG

    If C&D went away and somehow the Stokkebye line of flakes /and/ OGS disappeared ...I'd probably just freakin' quit, man. I love Mac Baren blends, too - I hope the 'classics' are safe for now; it'd be odd if those were cut imo. I have enough tobacco stored away to last me until I could learn to...

    The Benefits of Having Children

    I have three boys - currently two 12's and a 14 ...contrary to any reasonable logic, having kids really helped my anxiety issues - I have been too busy to be anxious for years haha It's an amazing journey I never expected to go on, I work hard for my family but I get infinitely more in return imo

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    Exactly - this reminds me of my commute to work after drinking 3 heavy IPA's while grilling the night before :ROFLMAO:

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    I think using the 'alien' phenomenon as a convenient disinformation tactic /and/ the possible (past, present, future) presence of a non-human intelligence interacting with the Earth and/or the human species can exist simultaneously. Just like everything else, people like to project their...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    So you're saying I need to buy more tobacco? This is a bummer - when I read news of the acquisition earlier this year, I did not get a warm tingly feeling in my tummy. I am going to be hella pissed if Virginia Slices go away. And, yeah, I get that some folks have an ingrained cultural...

    A Thought On Jazz.

    I have been playing gigs for 25+ years at this point and there is something so much more satisfying and infinitely more interesting about getting to improvise for 3 hours as opposed to running through consistent arrangements every night. As a listener, I never get tired of Miles and Coltrane...

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

    The morning commute was made palatable with the assistance of some Sutliff Vanilla Royale - I bought a bunch of aromatic blends ~5 years ago, starting to smoke them more often just for variety. Good stuff.

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    Latakia tastes like the ghost of a memory that is not my own... seriously, there is something about that stuff that almost creeps me out. I have always been fairly averse to Latakia despite my best intentions ...in the past couple years though I have developed quite a taste for Plumcake as...

    The First Day of Summer..... And?

    I attended a meeting at 10am related to managing high performance cluster computers, putzed around with some other work matters, smoked a bowl of Bayou Morning - then punctually clocked out at eod, ate some stout thc gummies and went to the lake at a local state park (i did not drive!) for a...

    C&D Autumn Evening

    This blend took me a long time to finally 'get it' - I freakin' love the stuff now. It's so easy to smoke this one too fast - however, the end of the bowl turns into deep red va flavor for me if I keep a proper cadence. Even better with some age on it. Good luck!

    Hello from the Burgh

    Greetings from...the burgh, too! I live over in Westmoreland cty but work out at CMU ...great weather today, I think I need to go find a nice bench and smoke some Orlik Golden Sliced. I've been really enjoying Cornell and Diehl John Marr lately for an aromatic that still has a lot of tobacco...

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

    Enjoyed a bowl of C&D John Marr on the morning commute in Baracinni Mare Blue ...this pipe, for some reason, almost always delivers amazing smokes ...John Marr really has some really nice Virginias in it, IMO.

    University Flake match

    I have not smoked University Flake, but I do recall several folks saying it is similar to Sutliff Mocha Strips: https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/239/sutliff-tobacco-company-307-mocha-strips/ If you Google both blend names in a single search, you will find some hits that suggest a...

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    I am very lucky that my wife is supportive, if not very enabling - I smoke my pipe in the house, in the car, anywhere. She really likes the smell of Virginias and loves aromatics ...she will remind me that it's totally fine with her to smoke on road trips. I do make sure to not hot-box a room...
