Captain Bob's Blend
I was asked a really good question about my Captain Bob's Blend today. "Why is Captain Bob's Blend an Aromatic Blend?" The answer is two-fold. 1. I have smoked CBB as a Non-Aromatic and really enjoyed it. But, the Aromatic pleases those around my smoke, whereas, smoking it without the...- captainbob

RIP Jonathan Winters
I had just purchased the movie for my collection and watched it the night before I learned of his death. I saw the original when it was first released. I think everyone would truly enjoy owning this movie or at least renting it...- captainbob

Can Someone Please Explain Prince Albert?
Well, I disagree with loseth. You will be surprised to know that I smoked exclusively H&H for 19 years before spreading my wings and taking on "blending" as a serious hobby with Craig Tarler of C&D. While I now no longer smoke H&H and only smoke the blends Craig and I created, I do hold H&H in...- captainbob

What Are You Smoking? April 2013
I don't normally post here because it would be so boring. Today, as everyday, I smoked all three of the C&D Blends that I have created with (the late) Craig Tarler, CEO of Cornell and Diehl, my dear friend and companion in proprietary blending. We worked so hard together for so many years and...- captainbob

Can Someone Please Explain Prince Albert?
It's just a good old codger Burley that has stood the test of time. It contains a very light aromatic. A master blender once told me that it was vanilla. This tobacco is on the non-aro side for sure. The slight topping is miniscule and enhances the flavor of the crimp-cut Burley tobacco...- captainbob

Total Noob Question on Wax...
Please don't use any wax conatining Petroleum Distillates. It will affect the flavor of your pipe. Just do a search for pure Carnauba Bar Wax. It is out there from many sources. Then, a wheel to apply and another wheel to buff...- captainbob

Room Note AND Flavor
05venturer, Have you tried my blend? It does the trick for me... It is a "light" English Aromatic. PipesandCigars.com has it here: http://pipesandcigars.com/coditincabob.html __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________...- captainbob

Smoking At Work
I have to think that "what goes around, comes around". Yes, it is very unfortunate that the "Public" has a "great aversion" toward smoking freedom (anywhere). But, maybe, if we pipe-smokers perpetuate and defend our freedoms, over time, we will not be so "shunned". I am not one bit ashamed of...- captainbob

Blend versus Mixture?
batdemon, are you still enjoying Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture? I smoke it every day. I have four pipes dedicated to just POG. Craig Tarler and I put a lot of hours into that Mixture. I consider it a refined Virginia Medley with enough Burley large flakes to give it depth and character...- captainbob

Captain Bob's Blend
lord, I understand what you are saying. Some people have a real problem with any amount of Latakia. My wife will not tolerate noticeable Latakia, while I do, in fact, like it. I will say this, she does not know that my blend is 1/16th Latakia and please do not tell her! She does love the...- captainbob

Scotch Drinkers in the House?
mike, You can buy "Mavro Daphne of Patros" in two Greek Brands. On hand, I have a case of it from Kortake. The other brand I can't recall at the moment. However, they are indistinguishable. I have seen it listed on Greek Menus as a "Port". However, it is in a class by itself. To me it is...- captainbob

P&C April Order Is Here-Pic Heavy
josh, I hear ya. Anyway, I was just fooling around with you. However, I will check the Pipe Club stock next month at our meeting and see if we have a residual. It usually goes pretty fast with the free samples from Altadis (Sutliff). But, if we have extra, I will send it to you. Either way...- captainbob

Smokeless in Seattle (Article by Ethan Brandt)

P&C April Order Is Here-Pic Heavy
I see a lot of Sutliff. I could have given you a case of it for free. Our pipe club gets cases of those blends for free! But, I don't see any Captain Bob's Blend? (Just kidding) Light that pipe and enjoy yourself...- captainbob

Scotch Drinkers in the House?
mikephillips, You are right. I will never change. I must say that any quality "Red-Port" such as Mavro Daphne (Greek) or Martini Sweet Vermouth is a very enjoyable condiment to the flavors of my favorite smoke...- captainbob
