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

    A first bowlful of Peretti's Cuban Mixture is on tap for later today, in a no-name meerschaum bent billiard.

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

    A very handsome bit o' briar! Interesting to think that as the northern hemisphere is heading into early summer, our antipodean brethren are in their late autumn months.

    I've heard that Monkey Shoulder is a real bargain value in Scotch!

    You'll have to take the shades off so we can see your steely glare, though, if you wanna ball like @BROBS .

    Anyone Else Prefer Wooden Matches Over A Lighter.

    Where do you order your tobacco? A number of retailers will often include some cedar spills to go along with your order (particularly those who also sell cigars).

    Anyone Else Prefer Wooden Matches Over A Lighter.

    Yep, that's the problem I run into all the time in my area of the Pacific Northwest. The frequent wind means temps are usually held down, but it makes lighting up a trickier proposition. Every once in a while, I get to use my gradually dwindling stock of cedar matches outside.

    Anyone Else Prefer Wooden Matches Over A Lighter.

    Just for aesthetic experience alone, I love to use a cedar spill or a cedar match - the smell alone is a lovely complement to the tobacco. Since I smoke outside exclusively, I don't often do that.

    Cob Over Briar

    An unfinished, unlacquered cob is a mighty fine smoking instrument. I've said it before, there are times I've kicked myself for buying a (relatively) pricey briar pipe that was only a mediocre smoking experience, and wished I had spent about $5-12 on a Missouri Pride or a MM Diplomat apple...

    Woohoo. I Think I've Figured It Out

    Just wait until you get your sweaty paws on a tamper crafted from rare fossilized Siberian walrus phallus. It'll put the punch in yer pouch, let me tell you.

    Escudo Navy Deluxe in a blasted Briarworks bullmoose with bent stem. Accompanied by a small glass of recently-pressed cranberry juice and water, thanks to a kind neighbor.

    Jesse Jones makes some of the best-looking bulldogs and rhodesians I've ever laid eyes on.

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

    I found Wilke's Cherry Cavendish so pleasant last night, I had another bowlful, in the same Volkan pipe. Looks like I've found a simple, nicely-smoking aromatic I can live with!

    Is this one of Corey Brown's pipes?

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

    A bowlful of Wilke's Cherry Cavendish. I've gotten to the point of mostly disdaining so many aromatics, but this one seems to work well. Burns evenly without a trace of bite, no sogginess, no need to leave it out to dry for long - simple, pleasant, light cherry/chocolate tastes in the mouth...

    L.J. Peretti 150th Flake

    I placed my order on 5/1, so they're probably working gradually through the backlog of orders.

    L.J. Peretti 150th Flake

    I just got an email that my order shipped out this afternoon.
