    A Little Humor for the Day

    You must be related to my middle son... Lol

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

    An old handmade danish pipe (my first pipe, $60 back then) next to the princess. Smoking my Caddo Lake Campfire blend.

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

    Doing some remodeling. Taking a quick smoke break with my little pipe and my Caddo Lake Fishing Blend. Some loose leaf tea on the side. That ash tray came from the old Cowboy Stadium prior to its demise to Jerry's World.

    Matches vs. Lighters: Any Difference?

    Lol, that lighter I pictured looks nicer than most cheap lighters I've bought... Gun metal case I think. I especially like the button function. A slider instead of a button. It's almost impossible to burn myself from a raising flame so I can easily direct the flame where I want without any need...

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

    A nice hardwood nose warmer from MM. Slow easy smoker, takes 20-30 minutes to enjoy a bowl. I'm smoking my Caddo Lake Breakfast Blend. Enjoyed with a nice black French press coffee with a little added molasses for some earthy sweetness.

    With Whom Would You Smoke?

    C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien., but by far and preferrably C. S. Lewis

    Matches vs. Lighters: Any Difference?

    Flavor and even lighting = matches. Little to no bitterness, smooth even lighting. For ease of use and almost equal control = see pictured butane lighter. Bought this thing on Amazon. Best convenience lighter for a pipe I've ever owned. Great pocket lighter and attached tools. Solid make. And...

    Cleaning Routine

    Thanks for the info. I usually don't get to smoke the unburned, super tamped stuff at the bottom of a cob. It's beneath the stem anyway so it just adds a buffer for the good stuff to be fully used up. I clean the entire inside of the pipe by taking the stem out and running pipe cleaners...

    Light Fire Cured Virginia - Sugar vs. Nicotine Content

    That would make sense why my base blend is so well balanced then. With it being a "light fired" instead of a "dark fired", it smells and seems kinda in between burley and VA to me. But again, I'm not interested in what it seems to me. I'm interested in what it is considered by the pipe smoking...

    Cleaning Routine

    We all have different cleaning routines that work for our different pipes... I'm curious what yours are. I'll go first... Daily: I smoke a bowl, swab entirely with dry pipe cleaner first, then a bristled pipe cleaner next, making sure to remove tars from stem and ash from bowl, then blow out...

    Tobaccos With A Nic Hit?

    Agreed. Compared to the tinned tobaccos I have tried, I get a solid yet smooth hit from my whole leaf blends I've been trying. My most recent blend has about 10% rustica, 15% burley, and it tastes and feels amazing.

    Pass on that discusting idea... Yeah, everything is all about vapes, bongs, and no self control. I'll take a good old whole tobacco blend over artificial substances any day. Think of it like consuming pills for nutrients vs consuming good quality whole foods... I'll take the whole leaf over...

    Light Fire Cured Virginia - Sugar vs. Nicotine Content

    https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/whats-your-custom-blend-made-just-for-you.95204/post-37071713 This is part of my experience with it. I like it, but I just wanted to figure out the nic vs sugar content of it from more experienced smokers who may already be familar with it. I am...

    Unfortunate. Seems all good tobacco shops are going the way of the dodo. Only a few left in large cities. I've heard of a group that meets in Victoria - but they meet primarily to talk religion.

    American Balkan

    Might need to just lower the rH and let the blend slowly dry over time. Or cut a few cubes, rub it out, and let it sit for a few hours in a dry environment.

    What's Your Custom Blend Made Just For You?

    Forgot to mention something important: The ideal rH for this blend is between 60-65. It is a well-balanced smooth smoke experience with little to no bite.

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    I would love to meet up with some pipe smokers on occasion (like once a month), but alas, they don't invite me. :P... because I don't know any in my are who would enjoy the meetup like I would. In the end, however, I'm generally a solitary person who enjoys smoking my pipe on my front porch -...

    Light Fire Cured Virginia - Sugar vs. Nicotine Content

    Considering that flue cured virginias are known for their sugar content - where would a fire-cured virginia land? It is not a different type of tobacco, it's the same but with a curing method that supposedly produces more nicotine and less sugar? Anyone have any definitive information regarding...

    What's Your Custom Blend Made Just For You?

    The Story Behind the Blends Every year my extended family goes fishing at Caddo Lake in Texas (the only naturally formed lake in Texas) where we enjoy getting our lures caught in every tree root the lake has to offer in search of that big bass. We have been doing this since I was 10. We camp...

    Rustica to Add Oomph to Blends

    I make a base blend that includes rustica, Virginias, a light fire cured, and an oriental. It smokes smooth, isn't too overpowering in any capacity, and adds a bit of complexity to every blend I have tried it with.
