    Dry Smoking Tobacco-Forward Aromatics?

    Autumn Evening recently kinda turned my world upside down a little bit...when I was a newer smoker I didn't know how to approach it and resigned it to the shelf for years. On a whim, I opened up a years old jar and had one of the most amazing smokes...I've been smoking it almost daily since. It...

    In Praise of PS Luxury Navy Flake

    Oh yes, I could not agree more - this tobacco has been a staple in my rotation for years. If you like this type of tobacco, there's no reason not to buy the big box. :) I think this will be my second pipe of the day - currently smoking a batch from 2020. Cheers!

    Thoughts From Millennials or Younger

    for what it's worth, two of the pipe smokers i regularly smoke with are younger than me by a decade or more and are in their 20's - I am in my late 30's and know plenty of people my age who smoke pipes ...pipe smoking isn't catching on like social media... but, I don't think it's totally as dead...

    Aromatics for Tobacco Lovers

    I know the blend can be a 'love it or hate it' ...and I used to be a strong 'hate it'... C&D Autumn Evening - the red virginia cavendish really comes through for me, anymore... I don't know if it's the couple years that the few I ounces I have was sitting in a jar, but I revisited the blend...

    Cornell &Diehl Tin vs Bulk

    The C&D blends I order in bulk - mostly Yorktown, John Marr, Derringer - all come in a fair state if not sometimes on the dry side. I mostly buy their flake/broken flake blends in the tin and find that they come a bit moist but nothing out of the ordinary. I don't think the bulk blends are at...

    Sun Bear 2023 - Is This Happening?

    @Jeremiah Johnson - I don't know about super long term, but I have found some aros to really hit a sweet spot after a few years, as long as they have been properly stored and are made with high quality tobacco. C&D John Marr and Autumn evening fit this category for me -- I was previously 'meh'...

    Joke Thread

    Not mine (found on r/jokes), but gave me a laugh: A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank." Passenger: "Who?" Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time...

    Indiana Jones And The Dial...

    I half-expected to not like this movie...but, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been a fan of the original 3 for as long as I can remember...only saw the fourth one once. Nicely paced, plenty of fan service - but not in a cheesy, in your face kind of way. The young Harrison Ford CGI stuff was...

    Frustrated!

    ...in with just one more mention of the fact that, for a lot of places, the humidity has been rough lately. I get so pissed when my bowl won't light/stay lit simply because I forgot to set tobacco out near a heat source 4 hours ago... light packing and sticking to crispy blends has helped. I...
