    Seeking Exceptional Bourbons

    I haven’t gone through the whole thread yet but +1 to this and to the sibling Noah’s Mill.

    ***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***

    Busy day — enjoying a nice sized bowl of Wessex Campaign Dark Flake in this rusticated Pete House pipe. Considered opening a tin of celpheais (I’m butchering that sorry!) after reading the great review that went up, I think, earlier today. But wanted something a bit — we’ll — less aromatic. Last...

    ***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***

    Weekend didn’t provide a second for a pipe so Monday night will have to do. I’m one bowl from finishing off a tin of Fr Dempsey —but have no fear, I have 4 oz of bulk ready to go. Had my third in person meeting since March 2020 today. With a great client and it went well. So can’t ask for much...

    Blew through the pipe of PS Nougat so just repacked and went for round 2. Progress on the work front, though!

    ***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***

    PS Nougat in my Savinelli rusticated Canadian -- a work pipe as I try to press on through a project. We've been promised rain for 12 hours now and haven't had a drop. I thought maybe coming out for a pipe would cause a deluge. Enjoy the weekend, everyone.

    What are You Drinking? March 2022

    Tanqueray martinis last night -- felt right for hump day. Did manage to stop at two!

    I have been operating under the assumption we all copy and paste from @JimInks

    C&D Super Balkan in a Pete Aran 408. Critter keeping me company as the sun sets. Will be tamping with my Czech tool per my other thread. I hope everyone has a good evening.

    Czech Tool vs. ... Well, More Handsome Alternatives

    So we all also have learned the difference between a Czech and German tool: Where the hinge is.

    Czech Tool vs. ... Well, More Handsome Alternatives

    This is more or less what I had seen -- and I had always partly resisted because, as folks have said, the Czech tool is cheap and efficient, plus I didn't realize it came apart that way ... well, something else to help bump my online purchase into free shipping territory. Thanks all for the...

    The Country Squire- I'll be there this Saturday

    I wanted to respond directly to your post because I 100% agree about the dynamic between them, right down to the "expert" vs. "novice" dynamic -- which runs two ways, right? J.D. is the pipe and tobacco expert and Bo is the podcasting expert, so I think that has given it a good balance and been...

    Czech Tool vs. ... Well, More Handsome Alternatives

    So I have always used Czech tools with my pipes -- they are so inherently functional and just straight to the point. In particular, I monkey around with the pick a lot (as much as the tamper and the scoop or whatever you might call the third part are also functional). I've never understood why...

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

    In my last post I complained about the cold -- high 50s! -- weather here in LA. We've had a change in the weather, and it was in the high 70s in this part of town, so I'm outside after work, and I've loaded -- and I honestly mean I loaded -- my Pete House Pipe with Kramer's Fr. Dempsey. (I was...

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

    See, out here that feels like winter will never leave! Enjoy your pipe and weekend, @Tar Wheel .

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

    The cold weather system bearing down on the eastern parts of the US sure did a number out here in LA. It's barely been getting out of the 50s most of this week, and dropping into the low 40s. So it's been a pipeless week until today because I'm long lost whatever heartiness I had from years in...

    Introduction from Bakersfield

    A belated welcome from the non-conservative part of CA -- LA's Westside. I think we've got some fights still happening around flavored tobacco, so that should keep you plenty busy!

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

    Is there a holiday left that this isn't true of at this point?

    Rare second smoke of the day (but hey it's Saturday): Haunted Bookshop in a rusticated Viking Dublin.

    The Country Squire- I'll be there this Saturday

    New shop looks great -- and I believe I heard about your visit / missing JD on one of their recent podcasts, right? I've got a postponed trip through Mississippi in mind (beginning in Memphis or maybe with a quick sidetrip to eastern Tenn where a colleague who is just the best guy lives), and...

    *** What Are You Drinking? *** February 2022

    Last night was the weekly Friday night martinis— Tanqueray still as I keep not making it to the store. Finished off the evening with a CA cab leftover from Wednesday. I expect to have a work meeting down in Orange County in a couple of week and will work in a trip to Hi Time and shall stock up...
