What Madness Is This?
Holmes seemed to largely appreciate tobacco use as a stimulant, not as an emblem of connoiseurship, and is often described as smoking cigarettes as well as pipes. Aesthetic appreciation is something Watson says seems to have bypassed Holmes. He says in "Hound of the Baskervilles" that Holmes...- marlinspike

Anyone Like Newminster No. 400?
Years ago, after yet another dopey, useless gift, I **as gently as possible** asked my wife not to buy me anything at all, since she frankly got me things I had no interest in (that year was a pair of cheap plaster bookends shaped like a an old crank telephone). I wouldn't trust her to pick out...- marlinspike

H&H White Knight in a Peterson Hudson (XL21). Masala chai to accompany, on a pleasantly cool PNW morning.

Trying out a blend new to me: KBV Byronic Slices, in a bent-stem Falcon with a dublin-style briar bowl. First thoughts are that Byronic would actually work really well in a blend with other tobacco types. It's tangy-sweet and more than a little funky. Truth be told, I'm probably less a fan of...- marlinspike

Falcon Shillelagh Question
Yep, that looks like a manufacturing issue. I haven't noticed any real difference in draw with a shillelagh vs. an extra stem.- marlinspike

Jim's Wilke Rum and Maple, Lizzie Blood Red English Reviews.
He also seems to use a fairly light hand dressing those blends, too, which makes them easy to smoke (little drying time is needed, in general - sometimes, not even necessary).- marlinspike

Jim's Wilke Rum and Maple, Lizzie Blood Red English Reviews.
The rum/maple blend sounds like a good one. I've enjoyed the Wilke blends generally, and the aromatics in particular (they're not the sodden messes that so many aro blends are prone to displaying).- marlinspike
