    Still playing around with Deer Tongue in various pipes. Trying to dial in a blend.

    Scared to Try a Different Style of Pipe?

    I have settled on two pipe makers and very specific sizes and shapes. I've already been disappointed in the past and will not be again!

    Chamber Diameter

    I smoke Virginia flakes almost exclusively, almost always rubbed out. I completely agree. My preferred chamber diameter is 0.75". I don't buy into most of what I call pipe myths. This is no myth.

    Camping Smoke

    Luxury Twist Flake is my constant companion. I do a lot of motorcycle camping and always bring a couple pipes.

    Rare Sighting Checked All The Boxes

    As some of you know, my wife and I ride Harleys. I belong to a law enforcement MC and my wife is in a female riding club. Last night we went to a function put on by her group. She introduced me to everybody, and I got to talking to one of the husbands. We really hit it off. The guy rides...

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    The Raven, EAP. I can still recite it from memory.

    Playing With Deer Tongue

    Well, I put 3 blends together. I opened a tin of Gentlemen Caller (I prefer Crooner, but I'm out) and added some Deer Tongue. I also did a 4:1 mix of F&T Golden Mixture and Deer Tongue and a 4:1 mix of Sutliffe Virginia Slices, rubbed out, and Deer Tongue. I only mixed up about two bowls of each...

    Playing With Deer Tongue

    I have very thick blood anyway. I have to give every 3 months. This could help!

    Playing With Deer Tongue

    I guess we'll see! I'm going to jar it up today in hopes of preserving it while I experiment.

    Starting the day off with G&H Broken Flake #7 in a Jesse Jones black sandblasted 1/8 bent, oval shank Brandy.

    Playing With Deer Tongue

    I was finally able to acquire a few ounces of Deer Tongue leaf. I love Crooner, but want more Deer Tongue in it, so I'm going to add my own to the blend. I'm also going to try my hand at creating my own blend using leaf with a lighter flavor profile, probably a good quality straight Virginia...

    Are You a Sloppy Pipe Smoker or a Meticulous Pipe Smoker?

    I'm fairly organized. I always have 3 pipes in a case in the car. New set of 3 every day. The rest all have their places in the racks, separated by maker and type of tobacco smoked in them. Two pouches and one tin of tobacco in the car, jars of frequently smoked blends in a cabinet, the rest...
