    I Trusted you Guys

    This reads like a nononoyes post from reddit lol! Pegasus is good stuff! One of my go-to burley blends, and I'm not much of a burley smoker. In fact, due to reading this post, I am currently having a bowl of Pegasus in a Peterson straight apple Aran pipe, with a cup of coffee. Tasty!

    Alaska 7 Pipe Set: Pipe Number 2 (Gold Themed)

    I think I speak for a lot of forum members when I say that we're eagerly anticipating seeing the other 5 pipes. Your mammoth pipe was fantastic, but this is on another level. Very curious to see what you've chosen for your symbolic elements in the others.

    Roadtown Pipes

    I have a couple of these pipes. I've always removed the inner bowl coating with a little 190 proof alcohol upon receiving them, and I've never experienced the bitterness you mention (at least regarding a pipe haha).

    Are You a Sloppy Pipe Smoker or a Meticulous Pipe Smoker?

    My pipes are like the other things in my life, I'm somewhere in the middle. Things are not meticulously organized, cleaned, etc. but it's also not a total shit show. Pipes are not generally organized and they'll sometimes spend a day or two dirty after a smoke before being cleaned, but most...

    WCC Simply Red and Rhythm & Blues

    Picked up plenty of these last fall, so I’m good, but if you like Virginias I can’t recommend these blends enough. Good stuff!

    Video of the Mars Perserverance Rover's Descent and Landing

    The answer, Jay, is about 3 hours and 22 minutes after your post, assuming the poster is genuine and not being sarcastic. :ROFLMAO: This may be true, but I also think that reading the daily news might disabuse people of this idea. To quote Monty Python "pray that there's intelligent life...

    One of My Other Addictions..

    Nice! I'm in a big dob phase myself. My main scope is a 17.5" with setting circles and go-to. Whenever I go out in the desert for an observing session, I usually bring two or three pipes as well.

    How Many Companies Make Lakeland Tobacco

    That's a great idea! I love St. Bruno too but I could definitely take a little more topping. I'm trying that my next bowl of St. Bruno.

    One of My Other Addictions..

    I'm into amateur astronomy, cooking, and pretty much anything outdoors, but especially Mountain Biking, Golf, Tennis, Hiking, and Backpacking. Almost all of these activities can be enjoyed whilst smoking a pipe as well!

    Video of the Mars Perserverance Rover's Descent and Landing

    As an astronomy buff, and general science nerd, I thought this video, which NASA just released, was really cool!

    Hello from Naples (Italy), But Also from Prague (CZ)

    Benvenuto from sunny Tucson, Arizona in the USA! I have never been to Napoli. Spent a couple of wonderful weeks in Rome when I was a teenager, and had some performances in Prague about 10 years ago. Beautiful city you've got there! Enjoy. It's always good to have more Europeans on the forum!

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***

    The wife and I had some friends over tonight for the first time since Covid began, people we haven't seen in 6-7 years, which was just lovely. So I'm currently smoking some Union Square in a Castello Natural Vergin Lovat while sitting by the (still warm) smoldering remains of the fire in the...

    How Many Companies Make Lakeland Tobacco

    I definitely notice a lakeland presence in Rum Flake. It's in the background, along with a lot of other great flavors. Bob's Chocolate is great and so is Stonehenge, but I find them to be pretty different smokes due to the Latakia in Bob's. If you like Stonehenge you'd also like Gawith...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***

    Enjoying some 2020 Cringle Flake in my latest pipe purchase, an estate Castello Natural Vergin Lovat I picked up from @lukasstrifeson a couple of weeks back. This is my first Castello, and it's probably the easiest smoking pipe in my collection. It won't be my last! I can see what the Castello...

    Watch City Cigar Dealings...

    I have had nothing but good experiences with Ernie and WCC. They sent me the wrong MM cob a couple of months ago. Ernie’s response: “keep it, we’ll send another”. And you will probably find that like a Bob Ross painting, you will not regard this as a mistake, but a “happy little accident”...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2021?***

    Currently enjoying a bowl of C and D XX Flake (my favorite special release from 2020) in a Stanwell Bamboo 1/4 bent Dublin that was my first pipe purchase 12 years ago. Before that, I enjoyed a bowl of KBV Mycroft in a Peterson Aran straight apple that was my second pipe purchase, about 11...

    Where and What Have You Been Smoking?

    Currently sitting outside on a sunny somewhat warm day in Tucson (supposed to be 72 this afternoon). Smoking Cornell and Diehl's XX Flake in a Stanwell bamboo Dublin that was my very first pipe purchase back in 2009.

    Missions to Mars: Are they Really Such a Good Thing?

    I see what you're saying, but I'll also point out that we as humans have been doing an excellent job over the past couple of hundred years at having a detrimental impact on life on Earth. Hard to see how some micro-organisms on Mars will change that. I doubt life in a more complex form ever...

    A Couple Heavy Hitters

    Yum! I was gifted some Black XX a while ago. It's a good smoke, although best enjoyed in small bowls. That earthy, meaty flavor, along with a sizable spicy throat tickle, is just perfect when the mood strikes. Haven't tried 5 brothers yet, but when I want a stronger smoke, I generally tend...
