    Rustica Characteristics

    My brother says it tastes like a breakfast sausage when he smoked it in his rolled cigarette. He smoked the Rustica in his cigarrette, not a sausage. 😜 I'm starting to change my mind about it. I equate it to an earthy flavor. But I can't go as far to say it tastes dirty. But then again, I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, September 2024?***

    Just made this blend of tobaccos. Man it's good and it hasn't even had time to age together... Calling it: Caddo Lake, Louisiana Blend Flue Cured Virginias Fire Cured Virginia Samsun Smyrna Burley Rustica Perique

    Rustica Characteristics

    I've got four blends with rustica... one tastes like chewed leather (if you chew leather while smoking it)...

    Borkhum Riff Original - 2 years on shelf.

    Just smoked a bit of Borkhum Riff that I liked less than Captain Black. I generally smoke English blends. These were just cheap trials. I haven't had cheap tobacco in a while. I let this one sit for a while and realized, either my taste buds changed. Or I like it more than I thought. Dark...

    Show us the Pipe that Started Your Smoking Adventure!

    Still my favorite... a hand made Danish sitter. $60 from about 20 years ago.

    Smoking Habits

    Slowing down often involves the fire going out or too little flavor to enjoy. I have slowed down a lot from when I started years ago, though.

    Tamping Practices

    I've learned on my own the ideal time to tamp. I base it on the quality of the smoke. Often I have to tamp regularly. Rarely, like tonight, do I find I don't need to tamp at all for most of the bowl. These are often the best smokes I have. It's based on the quality of the pack. I'm wondering if...

    Cobs

    I've had one burn through the bottom. I learned a trick... Mix saliva with ash and tamp it down to the bottom. It creates a barrier that replaces the bottom and protects it from burn through.

    Salivating When Clenching

    I second this. I generally avoid bent pipes and large pipes for this reason.

    Smoking Habits

    I'm curious about the general pipe smoking habits of others. I have friends who smoke a handful of times a week. Others only occasionally, and others daily or multiple times a day. If I could post a voting question: how often do you smoke a pipe? Since I've been entertaining the smoking...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Smoking a mix of my custom whole leaf base blend and some Reposado, a tequila barrel aged mix from Russ' Hearth and Home.

    Rustica Characteristics

    Awesome information. I really appreciate it. From my experience: yes, the nic hit is different (as you mentioned before). I found the tobacco to be only mildly rough, but the nic hit to be smoother and more robust. Verses N.Tabacum which is smooth in flavor and smokabillity, but the nic hit can...

    Rustica Characteristics

    Where can i find more information about Rustica? I'm still fairly new to it and don't know where to find definitive information about the varieties, their smoking qualities, and etc.

    Rustica Characteristics

    Ive been smoking rustica in a blend for a bit. I have been attempting to figure out it's characteristics. Is the pH like burley? Flavor is interesting. Kind of like a seasoned sausage. Anyone have any ideas they could bring to the table?

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    This is my base blend of whole leaf tobaccos mixed with some bourbon barrel aged plumb pudding in an unfiltered cob, sipping on coffee. This is my least favorite pipe. Too much air, not enough smoke comes through. Trying to see if I can find a way to enjoy it with aromatics.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Is night time here. Almost ran into these ladies on my way out to my porch. They are my personal neighborhood watch on a mission to rid my porch of flying insects. I left them to their business. Smoking a mix of my Caddo Lake Fishing Blend mixed with some WhiteKnight. Interesting blend...

    Dedicated Pipes

    I was thinking the same thing. This has been my experience as well, with one exception... I generally won't mix aromatics with english blends in the same large bowl pipe. I will, however, mix in my small bowl pipe. I have one dedicated to whatever I want, when I want. It's been an interesting...

    Dedicated Pipes

    I've not thought about doing this. Sounds about right based on my pipes, but have not noticed it working out that way until you said it.
