    Charlotte NC

    Welcome from Walnut Cove, NC! I'll second the suggestion to check out McCranie's if you haven't already. Probably my favorite pipe shop I've ever been to.

    Cheap v.s. expensive VA

    This is about the cheapest VA I've cellared pounds of. After a few years in the jar it really starts to shine. I think some of the more expensive VA is better quality tobacco but a lot of it is also the aging and processing. There are some C&D and GL Pease VA blends that I've cellared but...

    Are Burley Smokers a Breed?

    I would assume based off the production of decades of C&D burley blends as well as other manufacturers which remain popular that burley guys just don't post on the forums as much. It's obviously selling and I would assume being smoked. Personally I enjoy burley but when I'm in that mood I've...

    What Blend do You Hate?

    I wouldn't say I hate it, but anything with Kentucky Fire Cured isn't for me. I just can't stand the overpowering smoke. If I want smoke I'll crack a Latakia blend or enjoy some Islay whisky.

    Around my neck of the woods barbecue and basketball still cause more heated arguments than politics or religion.

    Forum’s Best Pipe

    Hard to choose but for me there is something special about the way the old British pipes were shaped and sandblasted. I'm a sucker for a beautiful blast and this place has educated me on what a nice sandblast can truly achieve.

    March Madness Anyone?

    I've never been much of an NBA fan, but here in NC college basketball is almost a religion. I'm rooting for Duke tonight. Hoping they can put together a win for Coach K's final season. He's been the Duke head coach for longer than I've been alive and it's crazy to me to be watching the end of...

    Opening a New Tin/Creating a Ritual?

    I enjoy cracking a McClelland Christmas Cheer every year in December. And I stocked up enough McClelland 40th Anniversary to crack a tin of it for my birthday every year. The other special tins in my cellar just get cracked when I'm in the mood. I think there is a balance between enjoying...

    I.P.S.D. Sales - How dysfunctional Were You?

    Nothing for me. I just deleted all the marketing emails as soon as they popped in my inbox. Been doing pretty good fighting off PAD and TAD.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2022?***

    Home brew VA/per/oriental in my Peterson Arklow 106. I've been trying to mess with some of the blending tobaccos I have and come up with something I want to make a larger batch of.
