    Cornell & Diehl Redburn

    Never heard of this blend before but I've been out of the game for a while. If memory serves me right, though, I've got an old tin of Blockade Runner that I jarred some years ago because I found it to be, in a word, bland, at least by my comparison of other C&D blends, and believe me, I've...

    First Impression: Mac Baren HH Burley Flake

    Soooo...I'm going to take a wild stab here and say that you don't like it? That's cool, I'll taste test it for you. You know, just to be sure that the quality is sub par. Because I'm sure it is. Because it's from the MacBaren HH line. You know what? All those HH tobaccos are terrible. Everyone...

    Ho Hum... Another Oddball Pipe

    The chamber shape ought to ensure that anything that you put in it will burn beautifully. I'd say you did a pretty nice job!

    Calling The Bard: My Barling PAD Acquisition.

    Shiny pipes caused a rather scandalous Calabash dilemma for me a few Christmases ago. They were so shady in their dealings that I had to turn the whole thing over to (and I'm going to get this wrong so someone please correct me here) The Ebay Resolution Center or some such thing like that. Once...

    Hey, Is That Walter White?!

    I want to point out that the only real reason that I started this thread was to illustrate the point that I look a lot different than the last time I was on the forums. There probably aren't a lot of old timers on here that remember what I used to look like, but the last time I logged on to the...

    Basic pipe dedication?

    I think that dedicating the cob to aromatics is a smart way to go, but as for the rest of the list that you have provided, at least in my experience, I don't get too hung up on dedicating pipes. I actually find that I like to dedicate certain pipes to certain cuts of tobacco rather than type...

    Office Tobacco Drying Off the Table Now It Seems...

    In the particular area where I live, me bringing any smoking utensil other than a cigarette to work would pretty much label me a stoner, because that is how rampant the ignorance around here is, so bringing my pipes to work is pretty much a non issue, but I can see your frustration, and I agree...

    End Of The Day

    The end of the day is really about the only time that I smoke anymore unless I have a day off in which I pretty much have a pipe going all day. Especially with all the S#!^% I have going on in my life right now it is pretty much the one constant in my day that I can look forward to.

    Cheap Buffing Wheel Setup?

    I had heard of someone doing this before by putting the drill in a vice and doing it that way. From the looks of the rest of the responses, it appears that I may be in over my head. I was looking to get out of this whole deal for $100 or under, which it sounds like might not happen. Honestly...

    Cheap Buffing Wheel Setup?

    Now that I have the space to do so, I would like of like to invest in a buffing wheel but don't want to spend a crazy amount of cash. Anyone got a setup that they like that they got fora good price and can point me in the right direction?

    The Quintessential English

    Gonna have to fact check you on this one. :wink:

    Hey, Is That Walter White?!

    Yeah, it only took until I was 30 f*&#@! years old to be able to get it to look halfway decent. But in any case thank you. :-)

    Do You Avoid Heavier Pipes?

    I don't mind a heavier pipe. I've got an old Myers Bulldog pipe that I keep in the nightstand in the event of intruders. You knock someone in the head with that SOB and they're not getting up for a while. :mrgreen: In all fairness, weight has never been an issue when pipe shopping for me. I'm...

    The Quintessential English

    Is 965 the one that touts itself as having brown Cavendish in it? If it is, I think I got a small sample of this some years ago and remember thinking it was very unique amongst English blends and I'm pretty sure that the brown Cavendish was the result of this. Damnit, y'all are gonna make me go...

    Cellaring - Where to begin

    For most of us, it begins with logging on to smokingpipes.com or pipesandcigars.com, looking at the selection, and realizing that the term "cellaring" is shorthand for "I'm about to develop a serious tobacco buying problem".

    No, it's just Pipe Novelist dressing up like him last Halloween.

    The Quintessential English

    As a general rule, if it has latakia, it is quintessential for me. I found some 5 year old Lancer Slices sitting in a jar the other day that was extremely pleasant, not very complex and a little flavor forward but I found it a very nice smoke. I used to smoke Billy Budd by the jar full but that...

    The Hype Behind Astley's No. 44

    Thanks to everyone for weighing in. Good to know that I wasn't the only one that felt this way. I mean, like I said, the stuff is good, and I can see where it would definitely satisfy a craving, but given how hard it is to find I just can't see myself actively hunting it anymore. If GL Pease and...
