    Basmatica Drop Right Now @ KBV

    Bwahaha! I love being an enabler! I can't guarantee that the two oriental blends will be good as I haven't yet tried them, but I have thoroughly enjoyed every other Va/Or that Kevn has produced.

    Preach it! Amen!

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

    Earlier this evening, on a Zoom call with a couple of college buddies all of whom live in different parts of the country, I enjoyed a bowl of KBV Sabotage in a John Peel Portland Pipe billiard by Barling. Technically, I suppose this belongs in the October thread. Right now, I'm enjoying a...

    Samsun and Delilah too.

    Is There Any Cure For Stupid? 2 Examples Of Sheer Stupidity.

    As my father is fond of saying, "consider how dumb the average person is. Now consider that 50 percent of the population is dumber than that."

    Daylight Savings Ends, The Clocks Fall Back

    Right? Of course, it particularly makes sense for Arizona. When it's 115 outside during a summer afternoon, all you want is for the Sun to go down as early as possible. I loved the long summer evenings and twilights growing up in Oregon, but that would be (even more) brutal here.

    Have you tried it? If not, PM me your address and I'll send you a sample when mine comes in.

    WCC Rouxgaroux this Year?

    Got mine! Woohoo! Looking forward to finally trying this blend, which has been recommended to me a number of times on this board. Also picked up some Marlin Flake for the cellar, as well as a couple of Pease VaPers I haven't tried yet.

    Daylight Savings Ends, The Clocks Fall Back

    Not here in Arizona! Not everything Arizona does as a state is smart, but not participating in DST is brilliant.

    Progression Through the Tobacco Blend Genres.

    When I got into pipe smoking, it was all about Latakia, and I basically didn't try anything without it for the first few months. Then I tried some Match Victoria in a new pipe and used the blend to break in the pipe. Since then, 2/3rds of everything I've bought has been VA based, Straight Va's...

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

    Just enjoyed a bowl of Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs in a Sasieni two dot bent billiard while walking my (less salty) dogs.

    Dem Brickz

    Ha! We have a cat-dog too. Picky about his food, standoffish around strangers, gives you love when he damn well feels like it. When we got our second dog he was like “oh wow, you guys got me a dog to play with!” Here’s Zander(Sheltie/cat-dog) and Eddie (Lab/Dawg-dog).

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

    Enjoying a bowl of C and D Pegasus in an MM Cob. Cob plus Burley equals a winning combination!

    That Sublime Smoke

    While that is true, I also believe that environmental and psychological circumstances play a large part in our enjoyment of any pleasurable activity. For instance, I am a beer snob through and through, but the best beer of my life came about 20 years ago, with my best friend, after a long day...

    That Sublime Smoke

    As to the sublime smoke, I have one of those every week or so, and Wow! It's part of the reason I'm in this hobby. I mean, by this point I've developed the skills to have nearly every smoke be good, or very good, but it's an intersection of circumstances (blend choice, pipe choice, packing...

    That Sublime Smoke

    Well, with all the talk of comparing pipe smoking to sex, OF COURSE there's gonna be a D in there! (Bah dum ching!)

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

    Enjoying a bowl of KBV The Endless Void in a Chris Morgan Blackjack bent bulldog. The cold has come to southern Arizona, so it's 61 right now with a breeze and I'm wearing 4 layers. I used to smoke cigars in -10 F when I lived in Minnesota. I suppose my morph into a full fledged desert rat is...

    My First “Special Occasion” Bowl...

    Both great smokes! Hard to go wrong. Did you make that Caribou Pho yet?

    My First “Special Occasion” Bowl...

    Your “shed” looks amazing. Really more like a small barn. Great work! The real question is: Have you settled on a blend for your celebratory smoke?

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

    Currently enjoying a bowl of Sam Gawith Full Virginia Plug, generously gifted to me by @ashdigger, in a James Upshall Tilshead straight Billiard. This is a really fantastic smoke. It takes a little work to prepare, but almost no dry time and it seems to be much better behaved than the flake...
