    English Blend Recommendations

    I second Pipe Novelist's suggestions. I had been a fan of Nightcap for a while before I tried the GLP lat blends. It took some time for me to understand them, especially Samarra, but once I did - they're really excellent.

    First Smoke of the Day

    I really like a bowl of a nice VA or VA/Per flake with coffee in the morning. Food can come later.

    Rad PAD

    At the risk of continuing the show-off trend, here's an update. The first bowl was interesting - not unpleasant at all. The second bowl was decidedly enjoyable and the one today was downright tasty. The construction is as near to perfect as I could imagine. The tenon and mortise are...

    B&M Around Franklin or Ashville NC?

    Cornell & Diehl are in Morganton, NC - if you like their blends, you might stop by. Not that you'll see much besides a tobacco operation and some nice people, but if you're a fan it would be fun.

    I Am Tired of the Show Off Threads

    My lovely wife and my ugly mug. Like the other others pictured here, she'd kill me if she knew I was posting this.

    Rad PAD

    My first Rad Davis creation is on its way from smokingpipes.com. Besides a couple of cobs, this is the first pipe I've bought in nine years; after taking on a surprisingly painful seasonal job grading exams, I thought I had it coming. I've passed on a couple of Charatans and Ashtons that...

    Nail Clippin Pipin

    I tried that - it didn't seem to do much for me except ensure that the tips of the cleaners would more easily scratch the insides of the stems and white cotton fluff would shed everywhere. Not for me. (Maybe my wire cutters were too dull.)

    Double Puffing

    I have a similar problem: my charming and lovely wife will occasionally ask for a toke and will drag on that sucker like it's a coffee stirrer in a milkshake. Puts the fire out every time. Not that I'm complaining.
