    Pipe Shapes

    Some would say it's simply a matter of taste.

    Are Crystals and Filters Necessary for Mild Smoking ??

    D Denicool silica crystals. There are also Nording keystones, meerschaum chips, clay chips, charcoal filters, etc.

    Are Crystals and Filters Necessary for Mild Smoking ??

    Filters are an aid that some smokers find helpful. They can dry out the smoke (which may help to cool it a bit), slow the rate of inhalation, and draw out some of what might otherwise reach one's mouth as far as particulates and ash. If you don’t believe me, try sucking on a used filter or...

    What Are You Smoking, October 2022?

    Brown Twist/Coniston mix in a Washington poker cob is just the ticket. Happy Halloween to you all!

    Peterson's Elizabethan Blend?

    There are some who consider Elizabethan to be a benchmark VaPer. As a newer smoker, when I first tried smoking this type of blend I found I needed to really back off and slow down to get the flavor, but I really liked the flavor that I got and it reminded me somewhat of a good RYO shag cigarette...

    Truth About Pepperoni Pizza

    For a pizza-chain pizza, Little Ceasar's is remarkably good, especially for the price. Not fancy, but always tasty.

    Tamping a Canted Bowl

    I think this may be why I have never purchased a pipe with a canted bowl! I like the look of them, but am deeply suspicious of the burning dynamics. I do OWN one, but it doesn't see much action. I do understand this is irrational.

    Truth About Pepperoni Pizza

    When I make my own pies at home, the only thing I pre-cook, or rather, par-bake, is the crust. Oh, and the sauce. Anchovy paste goes in the sauce. Mushrooms and veggies go on fresh. My preferred meat is salami Calabrese, which is very similar to pepperoni. Mmmm, pizza.

    Pipe Shapes

    Zulus and straight dublins, straight billiards, pokers, princes, bulldogs. One day I'm sure I'll be tempted by some of the curvier shapes like bent dublins, scoops, horns, etc. I've had my eyes on a few freehands lately.

    Middleton Hand Made Imported Aged Briar

    I own one Middleton pipe, a Silvay bulldog purchased from a fellow member of this forum. I quite like it. Came with the stinger.

    Hello from SoCal

    I have been lurking and posting here sporadically for some time. I thought since I'm on the cusp of 100 posts, I'd probably better make it official and introduce myself properly. I live in inland Southern California, about halfway between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. I grew up here, moved...

    Are Dunhill pipes today as good as they used to be?

    I have resigned myself to the likelihood of never owning a Dunhill. And I'm OK with that.

    The Best Black Beans You'll Ever Eat

    Sounds awesome! My unsolicited suggestion for even awesomer would be to step up your beer game if possible and go for Bohemia (for a lager) or better yet with the chilly weather, a Negra Modelo, which is a malty Vienna-style lager. Both are delicious and appropriate accompaniments to meal.

    Looking For English Blend Alternatives

    I have little experience with English/Balkan blends, but a couple I've tried and really liked were C&D Byzantium and Drexel VI.

    The Best Black Beans You'll Ever Eat

    I have basically two black bean recipes that I use, and we eat a lot of them. The ones we eat the most are a frijoles de olla type cooked with lard, a bit of onion, some garlic, and an herb called epazote that is from southern Mexico. They can later be fried in olive oil to make killer black...

    Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drink with Virginia/ Vapers?

    For warm weather smoking I've found that bottled sweetened green tea like Lipton Citrus Green tea goes nicely with Vapers. I also enjoy lightly sweetened iced tea, and iced coffee with cream works well. And of course, plain old ice water. When the weather cools, Earl Grey is fantastic with...

    Sunset Harbor Flake

    C&D Byzantium is also nice in this category, and available in 8 oz cans as well as bulk. Latakia, Turkish, and perique.
