    Future Blenders

    Yeah, what does old Ernie Q know, right? He’s just a dummy that has 0 experience as a sourcer and blender. We should instead listen to you because of your long tenure as a well known and well respected blender, right?

    Good Coffee & Good Inexpensive Machines?

    This is what Consumer Reports like for machines. We love our DCC-3200. It brings the water to the correct temperature and it brews the coffee for the correct amount of time. We like to get whole bean coffee from Costco as its value is, in my opinion, unmatched. I use a hand cranking burr...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Nice stash. That Moroccan Bazaar is really fun and a great change of pace for me.

    Any Blends Make you Sick?

    Over the years I know I’ve been nic’d out more than once but I don’t recall which blends did it. Most recently I felt a little light headed when I arrived at work after smoking C&D Burley Flake #1 on an empty stomach. Had some food and was right as rain in about 15 mins. I’ve never been made...

    My Method of Rope Prep With a Mandolin

    I appreciate you sharing this and I don’t mean to piss on your mandolin parade but this seems dangerous and cumbersome to me. A cigar cutter is: Less dangerous. Less hardware. Less expensive. More portable. Generally easier. To each their own always and I wish you all the best with this...

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

    How you likin “The Sack”? I like it ok. I like ‘23 Cringle better but it’s good.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Totally. Not sure why it wouldn’t be. He said it has to do with the acidic nature of the tobacco. He didn’t expound further.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    No doubt. That was such a bummer and such a foolish oversight on their part. I called them on the phone and spoke to the production manager about it and he told me it’s not residue but a chemical reaction between the tobacco and the coating on the black disc. Doh!

    Great shot, man.

    Anthology coming back

    This is testament to the purely subjective nature of pipe smoking. Steamworks is my favorite C&D blend by a very long shot.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    2023 Cringle Flake. This is by far my favorite iteration. No bite for me at all. Sweet and sour for days and perfect moisture. Well done, Sutliff!

    Absolutely incredible. What a woman and what a life! Cheers to the memory of your badass mom! May she live forever in memory and spirit!

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

    Cool as hell man. The calibrate-able turntable, the mug, the pipe, the blend; all of it. Good shit.

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    Try going to a branch maybe. There’s one in Nashville. It’s way out in the middle of nowhere and it’s the size of a bedroom but I was able to get shit done there.

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    ENGLISH: Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, all DTM blends are no longer available. Since they are mixtures I created, they are no longer produced. I'm very sorry about the whole thing and it doesn't hurt anyone more than me. Nevertheless, I hope you continue to enjoy Hu Tobacco. Kind...
