Pipe smoking etiquette; NEIGHBORS
My neighbor is an A$$! They like my fireplace smoke but hate my pipe and dislike me. I usually wait until they are in their back yard and then light a heavy Latakia blend and walk along my fence separating our properties bellowing as much smoke as I can when the wind will carry it to them...- captainbob

Smoking in the Car
Being a pilot, I never smoke in the airplane that I fly. I did in the olden days because many pilots smoked a pipe while flying or instructing. So, I did, too. But, I now refrain from smoking in the plane as I do consider it dangerous. Especially, in bumpy weather. However, I do always...- captainbob

Troubles With Virginias
Pinch it hard between your forefinger and thumb. If it stays clumped together, it is too wet. If it is just at the point of "clumping together" it is ready to smoke. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- captainbob

It's almost impossible to smoke a pipe and...
Flying an airplane. Something about being in a sealed tube thousands of feet above the ground and fire... do not mix well. Or, having sex... but then, sex doesn't take very long. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- captainbob

What Are You Smoking? March 2012 Pt.2
"Orlik GSR - 3.5 yrs old and tay-stee." peteguy, you can't go wrong with that! Winding up this night with R&R Canadian Whiskey on the rocks with a side of Captain Bob's Pot O' Gold Mixture by C&D and it is like smoking a Flake in a traditional cut. It is a Virginia Medley to be sure! However...- captainbob

Smoking a Pipe: Hobby or Life Choice
For me, it is both a choice and a hobby. Not an addiction as I do not inhale and can skip the pipe when necessary. I created three blends with the help of C&D. I made a five decade study of tobacco and experimentation with blending tobacco's. C&D (Craig Tarler) liked my idea for a blend and...- captainbob

Trying some of the frog!
The Frog is not a good choice. She will smell it on you and your clothes. Just remember... She brought you into this world and she can take you out of this world... Maybe even make another to replace you? I suggest you smoke a really good smelling aromatic. That is how I won my mother over...- captainbob

My Time Has Ended
I left a Forum because of what I considered "Over-Moderation", "Presumptive Biased Opinions by Moderators" and just plain "Arrogance" on the part of Moderators who seemed to prefer their clicky friends to newcomers and enjoyed their position of "Power and Control". I shall never return to that...- captainbob

Cellering tobacco and temp
Just keep your air-tight jars or containers out of sunlight and you will be just fine regardless of the temperature. I suggest you keep your aging tobacco containers in a dark (and not hot) place. Cool or cold is fine. No sunlight with heat is the secret! 70 to 80 degrees out of direct Sun is...- captainbob

Pipes and Airplanes
Depending on where you are flying (from/to) you could lose your tobacco. You will lose your pipe knife in a carry-on! I suggest you check your smoking materials in your checked luggage. Been there and done all that many times...- captainbob

Carbon Cake
After every smoke, I use a "dull" pipe knife and scrape the bowl clean. The thickness of a "dime" is a generally accepted rule for cake buid-up. If you follow my procedure, you will eventually attain that and maintain that. Also, I always use a pipe cleaner after every smoke, as well. But, I...- captainbob

Tuskegee Airman
In the genre of substantial Latakia blends, I find TA to be quite tolerable (myself) and I do like it very much. I think TA is a fine blend. However in my own blend (Captain Bob's Blend) I only use a spattering of Latakia. Kind of like how I use pepper on eggs... just enough to know it is...- captainbob

Replacement for the old Half and Half
jchaplick, here is what you asked for... I smoked H&H for 29 years. But, as I became involved in blending tobacco I worked long an hard to re-rcreate the H&H I had loved for so long after they dropped the deer tongue because of it's expense and difficulty in obtaining. I blended half Burley...- captainbob

Aromatics
I am not here to advertise. Because you said that you have enjoyed English Blends, I make this possible suggestion... If you are really looking for something very different, you might consider trying my Captain Bob's Blend by Cornell and Diehl. It is not for the faint of heart. It is not a...- captainbob
