    Percolator Domes for the Sacred Stove-Top Pot

    My only experience with a percolator was in hunting camp years ago. Coffee in that environment hits different anyway, but I sure enjoyed watching the splashes in that clear dome. A press is my typical morning go-to. Combined with 45min and a pipe it feels like a victory even before the day gets...

    Packed this cob with a VaOrPer of my own creation(46/46/8% respectively) pressed 14 days in a PVC coupling with two wood blocks cut to fit and a C-clamp. Opened a month ago, still a solid plug. I’ll ease up a bit on the Smyrna next time. Sipping iced tea. Cheers!

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

    Enjoying the front porch this morning with some black coffee and this Plum Pudding Special Reserve Flake in my Dr Grabow Redwood. I’m halfway through this tin, and I like it, but I think I prefer the regular Plum Pudding.

    Taking halfdan’s advice, I’ve packed some Gawith (Ennerdale) into my new clay. Keepin’ the TN feel though with some George Dickel and water. Cheers!

    Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake

    I stumbled across Newminster 400 recently while looking to try PSLTF and finding them together in a shootout on P&C. As folks have mentioned earlier, the tin note (sans tin) of the 400 is fantastic. Both blends are solid, but of the two, I like the 400 better so far.

    I’m only a year into this great pastime, but reading up on pipe history, a clay is definitely on my list to get. Thank you for the recommendation!

    Match Nightcap in a Molina churchwarden. I packed two bowls in a row into the same pipe. I live on the edge.

    Pipes Make Lockdown Bearable

    Don’t be too jealous, I’m a road musician. The work from home option does not apply to me either, and the light at the end of the tunnel for my entire industry even now is little more than a rumor. And I still love cigars, but it is more of a social event, drinks and stogies with my friends...

    Pipes Make Lockdown Bearable

    Quarantine is what led me to buy my first pipe and a small assortment of blends. It has since all but replaced my cigars, and if it weren’t for my pesky new cellaring habit, I’d be saving money in the switch.

    What is the Worst Pipe Tobacco You have ever Smoked?

    My two least favorites so far are 1Q and SG Hansom Flake. Also, I find EMP weak and unfulfilling.

    A Moment In Time

    A Moment In Time Y’all, my pipe hit the spot tonight. A number of events have given me pause, and I feel compelled briefly to describe them here, for whatever reason. I live just outside Nashville TN, and snow is currently falling once again atop a couple inches of ice/snow from earlier this...

    I’m 45. Approaching one year as a pipe smoker. Enjoyed good cigars for years prior, and I still smoke them here and there. Started with a Latakia, my local B&M house blend. Plum Pudding was my first favorite of wide distribution. I have 10 briars, two cobs, and a meer. I see value in cellaring...
