    Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented Review

    Don't want to be misleading - they very well could be and I'm possibly imagining a dark fired component.

    Lord of the Rings - Extended Version

    Only way to go. So much more fleshed out.

    Sir Walter Raleigh Regular (?) -- Hey, What's Up

    Yes, very different. I get a licorice topped burley in the regular, while the aromatic has virginia, vanilla, and booze toppings.

    Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented Review

    I'll have to reacquaint myself! Looks like I might have mixed up Dark Flake Scented and Dark Flake Aromatic.

    Gawith & Hoggarth Dark Flake Scented Review

    Been smoking 1792 at work, as I notice it is easy to light, stay lit, and get the flavor I want out of it in less than perfect pipe/packing/lighting/wind conditions. Also it's N strong for short smokes. While Dark Flake Scented isn't as idiot proof, I like it for a lot of the flavor...

    Soap Taste When Smoking Virginia

    I got that, starting out, when smoking blends too hot. Dunno if that helps?

    Fruit Forward Blends?

    The only two I keep a stash of are Devil's Holiday and Firedance Flake. I find Glengarry Flake fruit-ish the way that certain melons taste. Good luck, please share your experiences!

    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    I popped a tin of the previous years release, and in a weird change of heart decided I have enough tins already. Sat this one out. Sunbear is definitely one that I look forward to trying with several years of age on it. Love that people are into a Va/Or this much though. Bring on more Va/Ors!

    When Will Car Prices Come Down?

    All this is kinda wack cause I'm trying to buy a new Silverado/Sierra and have had my current truck for way too long.

    Pear-Wood or Corn Cob for Beginner?

    MM diplomat series or Mark Twain would be my suggestion. I like the acrylic stem versions but they don't have the open draw of the Danish plastic bits, which I love love love love.

    C&D Sunbear 2021 Edition “Black Locust”

    I'm curious whether the tequila and elderberry is even in this year's batch, as it wasn't mentioned in C&Ds ad. Either way I'll add to my Sunbear stack. All Va/Ors are an automatic buy for me. Eight State Burley has been so good I can't stop smoking it, so if anything I feel like the C&D...

    Spicy Boi's First Grow - 2021

    Started with the goal this year of learning to grow, cure, and process my own tobacco. After some research I decided to go with the the following varietals: -Yellow Twist Bud, YTB (Burley) -Canik (a black sea Samsun Turkish oriental) -Yenidje (AKA Xanthi Yaka, a Greek oriental) I bought all my...

    The Pipe Tobacco Subreddit Is A Mess

    The poor people that are learning to smoke a pipe, or about pipe tobacco in general, and use reddit as their learning grounds.... The newest source of entertainment:

    Gorode Pipes

    I bought one ages ago. The drilling was severely off, and the pipe itself felt as if it was coated in a cheap plastic-y finish. While I do not normally say negative things about pipe products as a matter of personal preference, I would recommend you direct your purchase elsewhere if you have...

    Long Term Cob Torture Test: 6 Months Under The Elements

    Having abused a cob quite handily, I can tell you the real threat to a cob is getting wet by leaving it out in the rain. The glue they use don't like rain. Other than that they are tanks. Protip: beeswax is the shizzle for cobs. Melts easy, seals gaps, works great to stop chipping, etc...
