    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    Smoking Atwell, and English blend from a nearby tobacconist. In a trusty little pot I have had for years. It always delivers and excellent smoke, a true workhorse. Also wearing a new deerstalker I acquired at an antique shop on vacation this summer. One day I’ll have to get a calabash meer to...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2023?***

    Father Dempsey in a Savinelli Duca Carlo - the first pipe I bought, about 15 years ago, still one of my most reliable smokers.

    What Are You Drinking? September 2023

    I like Ardbeg and I like Pinot noir. Might have to find myself a bottle. How is it?

    With Whom Would you Light Up?

    I’d love to smoke with all the Inklings in the Rabbit Room at eh Eagle and Child pub (C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, and company).

    For How Long do you Mash/Brew/Infuse your Tea?

    Around 3 minutes for green tea, 5-6 for black tea. Maybe a little less time if I’m not adding milk, a little longer if I am. Herbal teas I leave the teabag in the mug and just take it out of the flavor gets to be stronger than I care for.

    Interesting places near Baltimore Maryland?

    Great recommendations - I don’t have much to add other than the Davidus location in Ellicott City stocks a few more pipes and pipe tobaccos than many of the other locations.

    First Time Bending Stem

    The stem to my Wellington giant straightened out over the years so I thought I’d have a go at bending it back. Dipped the stem in simmering water a few times, for a few seconds each time, and the stem was pliable. I used a mug to help shape it. Now it clenches great, especially for how large of...

    Whats Your Lawn-Mowing Blend?

    I’ve been smoking C&D Nutty Irishman while I mow. No special reason other than it stays lit and isn’t harsh if I puff fast.

    How Long Can You Wait before Relighting ?

    Thanks for all the feedback. Sounds like finishing a bowl within a week is the norm for most. I’ve got a cat and a lab who sheds like crazy, but thankfully have yet to find any of their hair in a bowl - something to watch out for!

    How Long Can You Wait before Relighting ?

    Thanks for the breakdown of blends, that’s very helpful! I haven’t been much of a Virginia smoker in the past, but recently bought a couple bulk blends to try. That may need to be what I primarily smoke during this phase of life.

    How Long Can You Wait before Relighting ?

    Title edited for clarity, thought I don't think I did a good job. Original: How Many Days Does a Bowl Last? I used to dump the remaining tobacco, if I had to unexpectedly set a bowl down for an extended period of time. That was a rare occurrence… until I had kids. My experience with cigars...

    Tea

    I rented a room in a house owned by an Englishman and his wife for several years. That is where I’d learned to drink strong black tea with a dash of milk (always milk first, then tea!). Tea was usually paired with a pipe or cigar, I found this kind of tea always went well with what I was...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    C&D Nutty Irishmen in Savinelli billiard. Drinking Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Nice to be enjoying a pipe (or several) with my brother on this holiday weekend.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Smoking the same thing here! Savoring it as it’s the last of my stock and I know it’s not always the easiest to find more.
