    Kajun Kake - C&D Classic

    I have thought many times about snagging a tin of this blend for trial as I think it was CaneRod that was upselling it. Well, having now read your assessment, I may have to re-think that option. Very well written, quite entertaining and informative!

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

    Getting set for a bowl of no non-sense Billy Budd in my Donegal Rocky XL102

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

    My simple Country Gentleman with a 50-50 mix of Watch City’s Simply Orange and Stokkebye’s PS301 Natural Dutch Cavendish. Independently both are tasty offerings but together they seem to form a special marriage. You get that sweet Virginian floral wood base and earthen spice sitting on the...

    Flake Tobacco (PS Navy Flake)

    LNF is a standard in my rotation and yes it does get better with a little aging. If you are really looking for alternative VaPers, I find comfort with these myself. Brand Product Name Cornell & Diehl Bayou Morning Peterson Elizabethan Mixture G. L. Pease Haddo's Delight Scandinavian...

    All Day Blends

    Middleton Apple was one of first loves. Can't find a decent replacement for it,

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

    Just putting the last trimmings on this Friday’s aromatic review, as I selfishly indulge my interest in a tasty bowl of my #2 favorite Burley, Wessex Burley Slice. The generously deep contours of this Old Grabow Freehand adore this particular tobacco as you would have it. And after this, I must...

    Back in Black?

    Every morning my day starts with Latakia-based blends, not subject to change. It has been my comforting ritual for decades. No chance of getting burned out on Latakia. Some will tell you it desensitizes your palate; I've not experienced and don't necessarily think that is true.

    Pipe Smoking and Exercise

    Dedicated bodybuilder and cardio nut here. Serious pipe smoker to boot. My cardio-vascular is stellar for my age they tell and my fitness level is solid, again for my age. No negative implications at all

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

    Closing down this Saturday evening with a parting bowl of C&D John Marr in this simple Smoke Master rusticated Billiard. The Red VA and Perique are definitely showing their colors in the forward stream in this session.

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

    Enjoying some of Watch City’s Waltham Broken Cake in my Molina Bent Apple briar. A well-deserved 3.3 Pipes rating on this singular Burley-based gem. Do miss my Slices, nonetheless.

    Unflavored Burley

    Five Brothers is one of the straightest and true Burleys worth smoking. Keep in mind, virtually all tobacco leaves are cased in some form, not necessarily coated but cased yes. A skillful blender will not allow the casings to be distinctly tasted unless by intention.

    Cornell &Diehl Tin vs Bulk

    Only the Haunted Bookshop. The tinned version seemed a little better in gathered flavor, nothing too drastic though.

    Tobacco Reviews Website Update

    I went to post my Friday review and discovered that changes. Not necessarily a positive experience. I hope they continue to improve it

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

    Here it is August already, wow! So, Friday night finds me enjoying a tasty bowl of Emerson Southern Forge’s heady Loch Maben, a choice blend of Virginias, Oscuro, Cavendish, DFK and Perique. Its toasting beautifully in this Danish Anderson Rustic Dublin shaped briar. Oh, and the Scottish ale...

    Thinking about puffing

    Just got back from an extended vacation. I packed 8 cobs and 4 briars to content myself with ... and a few cigars. You got to enjoy the real deal my friend.

    Pipe Smoking Ascension

    I don't remember any casts of experts on YouTube teaching me how to load and smoke a pipe when I started. Oh yeah, those resources didn't exist back then the 80's. Yes, at some point I think the experienced piper acquires native skills on judging moisture and how to properly pack his/her pipe to...

    WCC Ernie-ental and Simply Orange

    Got my order for the Orange in. Eager to try.

    WCC Ernie-ental and Simply Orange

    Got an email. The Orange sounds tempting I must admit.

    Favorite Blends Flavored with Whisky

    If you liked the BR, then I suggest you try Super Value Bourbon Whiskey made by Sutliff or their Bourbon Whiskey proper. Much better blend IMO and less expensive.
