    Kentucky Burley, Ready For Harvest

    That looks beautiful and God bless your mother, but I cannot buy any because burley doesn’t sit well with me. The other guys here will fill in for me.

    What Pipe Brand Don’t You Own But Want To?

    Conrad was also the voice of Marshall Matt Dillon in the Gunsmoke radio shows, a great series now reprised on Sirius radio. The old Richard Hacker pipe books contained pictures and text on his pipe enthusiasm and his impressive collection of Charatans.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    It’s funny you mention MacBaren Navy Flake. I opened a tin of it last month because I liked it the first few timed I smoked it a couple years ago. The latest one was horrible and I tossed it.

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Black Locust 2024 (Small Batch) Review.

    I’m smoking this year’s Sun Bear now. I’m on only my second bowl, but I really enjoy it. I must confess that I’m a huge fan of all the Sun Bear series. Last year’s was my least favorite, but still a great blend.

    What is your Trigger

    Noon. I can’t handle the pipe until I’ve been awake 5-6 hours. I’m an unapologetic candy-ass.

    How Biased Are Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    The contents are all I need. Taste is subjective. After 50 years, I know what I like.

    Father’s Day Pipe!

    Great gift. You raised them well. God bless you all.

    Your First Pipe

    A Tom Thumb from Sears Roebuck on the northwest side of Chicago in 1970. Looked like a hash pipe.

    Does pipe smoking and drinking go hand and hand

    I enjoy reading the comments and recommendations. And I want to offer my customary reply: I love my beer, and I love my pipe; just not together. Seltzer in the afternoon, tea in the evening.

    Any Suggestions on a Straight Virginia?

    I’ll third the call for that blend. Long gone, unfortunately.

    Medical Doctors who Smoke a Pipe?

    Dr. Walter Hettinger is another. Like Dr. Bob, he also makes pipes. I have four and they’re all terrific.

    Look What I Found…

    I’m sure the kind you get from handling toads.

    Thoughts on a Second Pipe

    I’ve been a pipe smoker over 50 years and through hundreds of pipes have never owned a Churchwarden. I want to keep my teeth.
