    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Dumped out two bowls (one semi-aromatic Virginia and one berry topped Virginia) at the 1/3 way. Both just weren’t doing it for me. I smelled a bag of G&H Dark Birdseye this morning and it smelled great. So I packed a bowl and enjoyed it. Another one I haven’t smoked in years and I never warmed...

    Any Oolong / Green Tea Fans Here?

    I’ve become a fan of Pu-erh tea with my pipe. It’s deep and smoky, but if you over brew it it can become bitter. Supposedly has great health benefits too.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    A rare evening bowl. Had my first try of Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia. The first third of the bowl was okay, but once the flavors kicked in I was pleasantly surprised at the depth of flavor. No rough edges at all, burned cool and developed more Virginia flavors as the bowl progressed. If the next...

    Do the Troost Slices live up to their reputation? I remember when these were coveted more than Stonehaven.

    MacBaren Stockton Spun Cut

    I love the retro tins they’ve been releasing. Just ordered a few. I’ve smoked Stockton in past and it’s a great blend, especially after a few years of age.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    This morning I decided to smoke a bowl of Dunhill EMP ( my first tobacco I ever tried). I posted last week about it, and I got curious if I would still enjoy it. I dug around the cellar and grabbed a tin from 2012 and cracked it open to breath. I haven’t smoked Latakia in about 10 years. So far...

    Ever Gotten Bored Mid-Bowl?

    For years I would just power through the bowl, whether I was bored, tongue bite, too loose/tight pack, now as I get older I dump the bowl and either pack more and grab something else. Regardless of the tobacco.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    I’m glad I got a few of those Three Year Matured tins. Had them in my cart earlier in the week, then they went out of stock. Saw them show back up and had to order some. Nice selection of cigars.

    What Did You Smoke Today? Cigars.

    I had a two cigar day yesterday, which is rare. Started off with a well-aged (2010) Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure #2. Such a smooth cigar and nothing but a heavy cream flavor. No rough edges and just an elegant smoke. These started off good, went through blah period and have become everything an...

    Park Lane Tobacconist, Clifton Park, NY

    I was actually going to go there when I was still in college. After reading the P&T article about the shop I had to take a pilgrimage there. I called and talked to Mel and they had just closed the shop and he was packing everything up that week. I eventually met him at a few pipe shows. Great...

    Park Lane Tobacconist, Clifton Park, NY

    Did you happen to notice if they had any bulk Red Paramour. That was the Simply Red of the pipe world a few years ago. It was a very good bulk Virginia.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Sorry to keep posting about Elizabethan, but I went back and smoked some Dunhill from 2012 and I think I found the perfect pipe for it. A full bent vintage Savinelli De Luxe. This pipe gave the blend a heavier mouthfeel and a deeper Virginia flavor. The other pipes I smoked it in made the blend...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    A nice bowl of Sutliff Victorian/Elizabethan match. First time trying it and I was impressed. Cool burning and had a pleasant, mild VaPer flavor. I will most likely buy more and age it for a few years since the price per ounce is so reasonable.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Enjoyed a fantastic bowl of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture (bulk). I went through a Mac Baren faze years ago but always got tongue bite. So I stayed clear. But I decided to give them another shot and added a little to my order. I have to say, I feel like all these years later I have matured in my...

    Got A New Dog Today, Apparently

    Enjoy them when they are that young, time goes by so fast and one day you’ll wake up, for me it was at 5 going on 6, and realize they don’t need you for everything and they start to become their own person. It was a sad day when I came to the realization.

    My 7th and 8th Rubio Pipes Just Came In

    Those are beautiful. Everyone that owns his pipes rave about them.

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Finally reamed one of my favorite pipes after months of neglect. So the next few bowls I will have to pace myself. Decided to light up a bowl of Esoterica Tilbury. I really enjoyed it when I first got it, but I hate to say the years of age have muted the flavors. Burned nice and cool, but sadly...

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2020?***

    Smoked a bowl of Ken Byron Venture Verge Engine Overdrive. I have to say I enjoyed it. Nipped me a little bit so I had to slow down. But like a lot of Virginias, once you get a steady puffing cadence is tasted great. I think it will be an excellent smoke with a few years of age. I plan on...

    High End Display Pipe Sets At SP

    I thought the Pete Provost tribute to Bruce Weaver was awesome.
