    Vegas Smokes - Is anyone home???

    Fred@VegasSmokes actually used to run a great little B&M here in Vegas many years ago. But I think that website needs to come down. I don't even know if he is in Vegas anymore. If he is, he must be running his pipe business out of a garage somewhere. I'd suggest Buyer Beware.

    Completely Disgusting!

    I suppose even misery can be marketed. I don't so much question the motivation of the tour bus owner - I guess he has to make a buck "somehow" - but I do question the motivation of the people who pay to take such a tour. I see tragedy marketed all around this country - Dallas Book...

    ***What are You Smoking?*** (July 2012)

    H&H Virginia Memory #10 in my favorite no-name basket pipe. It's a nice, little saddle-bit smooth billiard stamped HOLLAND - best 12 bucks I ever spent. Looks to be a steamy 4th of July out here on the desert. The monsoon has crept up from Mexico and I can't say I'm unhappy about it. We need...

    What Are You Smoking? June 2012

    Middletons Apple in the pinecone billiard. This is some wonderful tobacco. Not sure why it took me so long to give it a try. :puffy:

    What Are You Smoking? June 2012

    Keeping the zombies away with some Altadis Voodoo Queen in the Savinelli on this hot desert night. This is some crazy 'baccy! Mocha Slices, Latakia and a ton of Perique. Yeeaw! :puffy:

    What Are You Smoking? June 2012

    On the desert back porch slow sippin' some John Rolfe (clone) in the BC Monmartre. Otherwise, this tobacco will torch my mouth. It's a peachy burley blend that bites like a badger. Kind of have a love-hate relationship with this stuff... :? Definitely forces you to work on your slow cadence...

    Way. Too. Much. Nicotine.

    Small pipe. Slow sips. I have a small calabresi dedicated to the yacht and I love the stuff.

    What are You Reading?

    The Cheyenne Way. It's a casebook study of Law among Tribal cultures. Lots of pipe smoking goes on in this book. Pipe tobacco is used as a means of settling "troubles" - a form of restitution for mediating conflicts, brokering peace, contemplating action. Quite fascinating.

    B&M/Drug store tobacco prices

    Here in Nevada, I get my "drug store" 'baccys from the Tribal Smoke Shop. There is a Paiute Reservation just a few blocks from downtown Las Vegas. Massive Cigar Humidor. PA, Velvet,Cherry Blend, SWR, all the Capt's, etc.. in pouches and tubs. I probably sound like a commercial but these guys...

    What Are You Smoking? June 2012

    Took a couple days off but my first smoke of June is EMP in the Savinelli. Coffee in the mug. Nice on the desert back porch this morning but will be roasting at 106F later in the day. Shields up!

    Just Arrived from Ebay.com my 1st Mario Grandi!!

    That's a steal at $35.00! I really like the birds eye grain on the rim, great contrast with the rustication. Good grab! 8)

    A Scenario...

    Orlik sliced or Dunhill flake if it were me. Seems like a nice match for an alpine excursion.

    What Are You Smoking? May 2012

    Fresh this morning from the local B&M - a couple oz's of John Rolfe and an ounce of 965. Rolfe is up first in a cob. Flat Iron Steak and baked potato on the grill for this Memorial Day. :puffy:

    If You Could Only Smoke One Blend

    EMP. It's not the end-all ultimate blend but if all other blends disappeared, I would find comfort in its mix of Va and Orientals. It's just a mild, tasteful, reliable and satisfying blend. I wouldn't miss all the others (too much) if this were the only one around.

    Good "Camping" smokes??

    When I head to the high country, I pick up a fresh pouch of PA for the fishing hole. I pack a stout Balkan/English for the campfire nights. Latakia keeps the bugs at bay. Lately, H&H Black House or Balkan Sasieni seem to fit the bill. That and a little Bourbon to spike the camp coffee and I'm...

    More of this h&h Sierra Nevada. I could be wrong but I detect some yenidje in this stuff. Whatever it is I like it. :puffy:

    Solar eclipse Sunday

    Had a good look at it here in Vegas. About 90% totality. It got quite dark and it was a bit unsettling. Awesome!

    Sierra Nevada in the GBD Rockroot sitter. Going to be a hot one in the high desert this Sunday. :puffy:
