    Coffee Compass for Tobacco Ratings

    In my opinion this thing for tobacco would place too much importance on the destination and would ignore the journey. I like flailing about in a sea of tobacco options. I like to walk a little slow and smell the flowers. I’m less concerned with the destination and more interested in the journey.

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

    You have one. I’ve wanted a 5117 for a long time. That is the sleekest, lowest profile straight bulldog I know of and I absolutely love it.

    Watch City Old Black Magic

    It’s phenomenal fresh and even better after only 1 year in a jar. Cant imagine what 5 years will do.

    Watch City Old Black Magic

    Get into the Watch City blends. They are consistently the best American bulk* since 2018. Old Black Magic, as stated above, is so good as is Simply Orange and 558. *In my opinion

    Lack of Respect for Sutliff?

    WCC flakes Peretti flakes Sutliff flakes Seattle Pipe Club flakes Just the above mentions comprise SO MANY flakes that are so good and they’re all made by Sutliff. Saying “Sutliff sucks” is like saying Ansel Adams sucks or Led Zeppelin sucks. Sure it might not be your thing but it sure as shit...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    We all know what the lids look like. Wanna show us clear shots of the tobacco inside? I know I’d love to see it.

    What Defines a Good Smoke?

    1-2 bowls per day here. I’d say 90% of my smokes are “good smokes”. It tastes good, it’s dry, no irritation, and I don’t get knocked in the nuts with nicotine. When a bad smoke happens it’s usually because I’m too speedy and/or aggressive which isn’t often. This can lead to all the “good smoke”...

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

    HU Old Fredder thats been jarred for 2 years. Not aged but not fresh either. Honestly, not amazing tonight in my great “Made In Italy” basket pipe I bought from Rich’s in PDX.

    Recommend Some Good Tobacco, Please

    Go to Smokingpipes.com. Go to their tobacco section and search for “Tinned best sellers” and “Bulk best sellers”. Buy some of those. That’ll keep you busy for month and months.

    80+ Tobacco Sampler; Help Develop My Palette

    I find this both fascinating and totally antithetical to my pipe-world view. Fascinating because it’s such a stark example of how different we are piper to piper. For me, this all seems like work, and I have plenty of that in my life already. I’m just trying to chill and smoke my pipe. Why...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Dayum. That’s a very cool piece of that genre’s history. I wonder if those are the same masters that appeared on Grippe. Very fucking neat either way.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    No shit?! Me too. Been a devoted fan since ‘92. For Your Own Special Sweetheart is a masterpiece. I saw them in LA in 1995ish and Atlanta in 1997ish. Both explosive and intense shows. Between this revelation and the Breeders thing a few weeks ago, I suspect our musical tastes are fairly aligned.
