How Cold is "Too Cold?"
I'm in the "As long as there's no wind" camp. My personal nightmare is to retire somewhere, and I'm struggling to smoke, because it's always windy. I'd love to have the luxury of having an indoor smoking spot...one day.- spicy_boiii

The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2021!
I'm pretty overwhelmed by Santa's generosity, he definitely did his homework. And here I thought I was naughty this year! '14 Wessex Campaign Dark Flake and a tin (on of my favorite projects, the real unicorn) of RO Acadian Gold. But wait, there's more! A hefty amount of McClelland's 2015...- spicy_boiii

Molasses Heavy Blend
Solani ABF Esoterica Stonehaven (though, in its treacle form) Granger (less than the above) The Sutliff Ready-Rubbed that I purchased was high in cocoa but light in molasses. You also might try a Danish mixture, something from MacBaren like golden extra or Scottish Mixture, or Flying...- spicy_boiii

Having a drink with your smoke?
I'm not the biggest drinker anymore for a variety of reasons, but I've always felt a good bit of Porto goes great with just about any pipe blend.- spicy_boiii

Your Favorite Match Blend
I think the Sutliff matches are affordable enough to try a large variety. I'd buy more flying Dutchman if I ran out, ages well enough too. Match Elizabethan (now Victorian) is one I've cellared heavily on a past year, during past sales. Ages absolutely fantastic in the jar. I add a slight...- spicy_boiii

School me on Easy Tobacco Growing
Easy to cure, heirloom, burley varietal. Resistant to weather, moisture, bugs, abnormal growing containers in my experience/research. The land of homegrown is a pandora's box waiting to be opened. Visit fairtradetobacco forums for alot info. I also found it easy to sun cure oriental varietals.- spicy_boiii

Latakia Burnout - How Long does it Last?
It's been about 18 months since i enjoyed (or really even tried) a latakia blend with anything but the most sparse of regularity. A couple days ago I had some mysterious latakia blend that I found in a jar, probably from two or three years ago. I really really enjoyed it, and was glad to feel...- spicy_boiii

Footlong Scottie Piersel Pencil Shank Commission
Jealous, I want one of her pipes (one day), and always like that color scheme. I know it's a pain to type stuff out, but I'd be interested in the details of how it smokes: How open is the draw? What's the slot at the bit look like? Is it funneled? Is the tenon chamfered? Tightness of the stem...- spicy_boiii

2021 - Carolina Red Flake Vs Cringle Flake
I was thinking it would be cool marketing if they made a nice dense plug of some sort (naughty list, you got coal edition?)- spicy_boiii

2021 - Carolina Red Flake Vs Cringle Flake
Very different animals. One thing I've learned, you can read all you want about different Virginia & Va/Per blends, but you won't know until you actually try them. After a while you'll see some similarities between blends of the same manufacturer, especially if given the same leaf used. But...- spicy_boiii

Amazon's Wheel of Time Series
These are my thoughts exactly. In this instance, following the book not only would have been easier to produce, film, etc., but much, much more entertaining. Start the first episode, right off the bat, with rand catching a glimpse of the dark character in the shadows. What a way to start the...- spicy_boiii

How Dry is Too Dry?
Yep, better too dry than the reverse, my preference at least. Especially when the Virginia is aged and any assist from the sauce or casing has diminished.- spicy_boiii

***What Are You Smoking, November 2021?***
My Neerup is my go-to when I want a big ol' bowl of burley in a hunk of Briar. I've heard Kelly's Coin is pretty stout. I hit a pipe wall so I'm switching it up with a Montecristo #5- spicy_boiii
