    Who's Going to the Muletown Pipe Show in TN, in March?

    Tentatively planning on going. It's a week or so before my birthday this year, and I haven't been back to muletown since its first show. On the smaller side as far as venues go, but it's a high quality venue.

    Unpleasant Surprise re Dark Fired Kentucky

    My first thought wasn't toward the pipe itself, but the tobacco. Op, how have you kept the tobacco stored in the interim? Has it dried a good deal? In my experience, dark fired burley flavors have the ability to really morph over time, according to how it's stored. For me, moisture levels...

    Does Everyone Use Pipe Filters?

    Why filter smoke you don't inhale? Seems like a half-measure anyway. I had a Holtorp "fan" shape that took filters. I used the balsas. Really only ever used it for aromatics. Didn't last long.

    '18 FVF (Jars said 2018, looks more like 2010 flake. Maybe it was old when they jarred it up) in the Cryder Dublin with Bakelite.

    PAD/TAD/Collector Research Question

    Before I discovered the joy of smoking a pipe and all its related ephemera, I had spent a handful of years collecting knives. It was similar to pipes in ways. A utilitarian object - they come in both factory and custom hand made varieties. There are levels of quality and reputation among the...

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

    I think I've grown accustomed to the sub-teens temps. Full sun helps too. Mcclelland 40th in the Bacigalupi 2Anchor blasted Dublin. 40th Anniversary blows the prior couple Xmas Cheers out of the water, imo. If you're gonna go out, it was a good note to play on the way.

    Had a docs appointment this morning, so just now getting in to work. I fully expect to be stepping in to a shit show, so a preliminary smoke is necessary. Ferndown Yellow & Brown in the Peterson Newgrange Spigot.

    I Gave Latakia a Fair Try.

    Never liked it. Only very recently have I been able to abide older, oriental heavy blends with a little Syrian.
