    How Many In Your Rotation...

    Since it's been wickedly hot & humid here is SW FL, pipe smoking outside is a challenge, so I only have about 4 or 5 open at present. When it cools down a bit, I'll pope more to have a wider variety. Love a good pipe outdoors when it's crisp outside. Yeah - for the whole week of...

    Blends That Compliment Each Other

    I like to go with a heavier English /Balkan after enjoying a bit lighter Lat blend.

    Stout B & M Pipe Shop Blends

    I've decided to explore more small batch / pipe shop blends in lieu of the larger tobacco company offerings. My palate is more for full bodied Scottish, English and the occasional Oriental styles. I'd appreciate recommendations on tasty blends to look into. puffy RR

    Beefier Pipes

    So, I have found that, over the years, I prefer slightly longer, thick-walled pipes. The heavier bodies seem to fit well in hand and the thicker walls surely result in a cooler pipe to hold.
