    STG Lane Announces Price Increase

    Yup. The biggest fish usually sets the tone for the industry.

    Pipe Smoking and Makin' Babies

    I’m not much of a drinker to begin with but I was smoking a pack a day when we had our kids. Both are healthy and sharp teenagers now. I’ve never heard of smoking or drinking having any effect on conception. Is this a new thing now?

    Leonard W Interviewed On YouTube By Big Apple Pipes

    The answer is always yes. These days I think it is prudent to get a decent stash going of your favorite blends.

    FDA nicotine suggested levels and pipe tobacco blends

    The only smoking tobacco products excluded is hookah tobacco and premium cigars. Looks like we will all be buying “Hookah” tobacco from now on. They would have to find ways to reduce the nicotine content by a factor of at least 10 to even get close. I’m not sure what process that would entail...

    Indiana Proposes Generational Tobacco Ban

    If we want to go down this road we should do it with every harmful activity. Or even lack of activity, like people that refuse to get any exercise, since that is the single greatest factor in determining overall health. Should my premium go up 2% this month because I ate 4 bowls of ice cream...

    Indiana Proposes Generational Tobacco Ban

    It’s en vogue to trash tobacco because the lobbying money just isn’t there anymore. The industry has shrunk that much, it’s an easy target. Meanwhile it’s non-stop sports- betting and online gambling ads here in Michigan. Cannabis, lottery, sports betting, online gambling, and alcohol...

    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    Looks like a nice blend, but there’s no oriental in it.

    Season, Ilness, or Palate?

    I had an infected tooth about 3 weeks ago. Everything has tasted funny including my favorite blends. I just finished my antibiotic and things have improved very slowly. Illness, medication, allergies, all kinds of things seem to change my taste buds to some degree. I would give it some time and...

    Bone dry tobaccy

    I like mine dry. Sometimes I’ll smoke right out of the tin if I don’t have as much time as I would like. But it’s generally a more enjoyable experience when it is very dry. I’ll also say it took me awhile to figure this out. All of those “how to smoke a pipe” beginner videos could be condensed...

    4 noggins

    Where did you hear they are shutting down? I also order from them frequently and have never had any issues.

    C&D Firebird Flake Small Batch

    I’m excited too. All of the components are right up my alley.

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    You are correct that businesses must remain profitable. But no one said Mac Baren or Sutliff was unprofitable. In fact Per Jenson said they were making very good money. STG wants the most profitable blends that are able to be produced at their more modern, high volume factories. If it doesn’t...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    After work wind down with John Cotton’s Créme in a small Ian Fisher.

    I know it's been done before. But post some cool piping photos.

    I found the description: “Miners 850 feet deep in the Hubert Mine, Nevadaville, Colorado 1895.”

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    I guess anything is possible, but STG stated their goal is to substantially reduce the number of blends they make by 2028. I highly doubt they will bring anything back without a huge shift in the marketplace.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
