Trout Stream Has To Be Blended At Home Now
This blend at home thing was done during Prohibition. Winemakers would sell bricks of ingredients with a label “warning” that if water was added and left in the dark to ferment, the user might “accidentally “ make alcohol.- Bushido

How Do You Hold Your Pipe In Your Mouth?
I thought the same thing, but this summer I started watching Lee von Erck’s livestream of his workshop. He was doing exactly that, pipe clenched dead center front, dangling for extended periods of time while he was carving. I gave it a try and it just felt bizarre and insecure like it would...- Bushido

Yeah, Piedmont tobacconist is ok, they have some SG bends in bulk which is cool, although if you’re not a regular don’t expect to be doted on by the owners, and there’s really no smoking area unless you’re a regular. I’ve been meaning to make a trip to Telford’s in Mill Valley, it’s supposed to...- Bushido

Ideal Storage?
As my cellar grows I’m at the point where I need to start storing tins and mylar bags in plastic tubs/ storage bins. Since I will likely move a couple more times, I need to find a size that is a good compromise between capacity (I don’t want tons of little containers) and ease of stacking and...- Bushido

Is There a Tobacco you Seem to Like More Every Time you Smoke It?
Virginia Cream. Underwhelmed at first but gets better each time. Might help that it’s been sitting in a jar for over a year and I try a bowl every couple months.- Bushido

Do You Finish The Bowl
I’m usually too impatient to dry the tobacco out initially, so if I get interrupted and finish it later, it often is better than when I started.- Bushido

Smoking a Pipe at 36
I actually like being seen with the pipe out walking the dog. There’s some curious looks, maybe because it’s rare or maybe people are wondering if it’s weed. But I like to think someone might have always been pipe-curious and decide to give it a try. I figure the more of us there are and the...- Bushido

Stick with It
I’m not sure if my experience was better technique or the fact that the jar had aged for a year. This is one of those things that is a never ending journey, in a good way. When I started Brazilian Jiu-jitsu I was told by my instructor that when someone reaches black belt, they realize how much...- Bushido

Stick with It
So I thought I’d share this as it may help newer pipers. When I restarted the pipe a year ago, after a very short foray years earlier, I quickly fell in love with crossovers and some aros. I tried one Virginia. All I could taste is cigarette-like smoke. It went into a jar at the back of the...- Bushido
