    What Are You Listening To? (August 2020)

    I saw every tour in the 80s from Point of Entry on. Then I lost interest in their later material. But yeah, Stained Class still blows my mind as does Sad Wings of Destiny and Sin after Sin. Back in their proggy slow heavy phase.

    Did You Like Burley From The Start?

    I pretty much liked Burley blends from the beginning. Prince Albert, Carter Hall and Scottie's Butternut Burley to start and within a few months I had moved on to Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz. Loved them all. After laying off pipe tobacco for a about a decade I decided to spend my covid...

    Is Pipe Smoking Something That Grows on You?

    Buy a Savinelli Dry System pipe, make sure to order Balsa filters with it. Buy an easy smoking Burley like Pipes and Cigars Butternut Burley. Comes a little wet out of the bag. Nuke it on a paper towel for like 10 seconds. Fill your bowl, light it and enjoy. My guess is your smoking too fast...

    Any Oolong / Green Tea Fans Here?

    Yeah, I like me some tea from time to time. Go through my phases. Lapsang Souchong is good, has a smoked fish taste that some people find off putting, but I like. As far as Oolong teas, I've always liked a good milk oolong and sometimes go for the more toasted oolongs when I'm in the mood for...

    My Orient Express

    I used to load up on McClelland Orientals and my favorite was the Drama Reserve. Given that, I highly recommend Sutliff Balkan Sobraine Orignial Mixture Match. There's a sweet vegetative note to the oriental that to me is very pronounced in the BSOM Match. Definitely has the wow factor you may...

    Views from Older Gents on Sex, Love, and Relationships in the 21st Century

    I'm in my 50s now and never been married. I've had my ups and downs with relationships for sure. Was engaged in my early 20s and bailed on the relationship after 4 years because I couldn't see myself married to that particular woman even though I loved her. I think I stayed with her as long as I...

    Cornell & Diehl Standard Run Favorites

    Three Friars is a great smoke on a hot summer day. Just the right amount of sour without any bite. But as I fell in love with this blend just after quitting cigarettes, I have to agree that it may appeal more to former cigarette smokers. I find the same is true with Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Just received a delivery today of 8oz of Sutliff Black Cordial and 8oz. of Sutliff Walnut Match. Packing a bowl of Walnut now. Took advantage of Smoking Pipes C&D sale and expecting a few bulks tomorrow. John Marr, Espresso, Stratfordshire and Epiphany. And a tin of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky to...

    Aromatic English Yea Or Nay

    Not just you. Cult Embassy, also a Lat/Vanilla aro, has been a constant in my rotation this summer.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Cracked open a jar of P&C Butternut Burley from 2008 last night and I've smoked 4 bowls since. I don't recall even liking this. Loving it now!!

    Introducing "The Ben"

    Welcome from CT, but I think I'll steer clear of Marana, AZ. LOL. Do the larger Metro areas of Arizona have very much in the way of killer critters? Been through where you live on my way from Phoenix to Tucson. Loved it there and wouldn't mind retiring in your general area. Living a few blocks...

    Filter

    I have a few Savinelli pipes and one Rossi pipe that take the 6mm balsa filters. For some reason I find these pipes smoke great even without the filter or an adapter. Some I've had for over a decade and some are new. They're just great smokers. But I usually use the filters with Aromatics and...

    Best Budget English

    Also, would recommend the Balkan Sobraine Original Mixture match. One of my favorites of late. Frankly, the Sutliff Dunhill matches are pretty good too. And they cost like 8 bucks and change for 4 oz. Can't go wrong really.

    Best Budget English

    I was going to suggest the Sutliff Walnut Match. Great stuff and cheap. I imagine it's much the same as the Chestnut. Only just tried it a few months back and I'm already reordering it. Wish I'd tried the Middleton stuff. Used to see it all the time on the shelves, never gave it a shot.
