    Blends Lost and Fly Fishing

    I usually take breaks to smoke although I have smoked a cheap basket pipe or cob while fishing. Usually they go out from inattention and I end up sticking them in a pocket.

    Blends Lost and Fly Fishing

    I cut up some Velvan Plug to smoke in my GBD Granitan lumberman, donned a heavy jacket for the 9F windchill, and had a beautiful night smoke in the forest under a Wolf moon. The coyotes are out and about and we had a fox or two on our downstairs patio. It makes me bummed to think about how...

    Is Peretti Site Now Secure for CC?

    Maybe it is because I go in person, but I never get this rude shtick. They are Bostonians and no different than most of those from/in Boston.

    Holiday Blends 2020

    Cringle Flake 2020 is probably one of my top 2 favorites of all time. It is simply a smooth smoke. I have been thinking about what available perique would be a good addition for 2019 Cringle. Another favored smoke this month has been Tashkent with a pinch of Lanes Vanilla Black Cavendish.

    Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding SR: Bland?

    Balkan Supreme is my let down tobacco. Very rough around the edges.

    My Tin of Granger Arrived this Morning...

    Burley hates me. It throws bitterness at every puff. But Granger for whatever reason agrees with me and is a nice smooth smoke if slowly sipped and if I am in a patient mood. For flyfishing a large stream by myself in the middle of 5000 acres, it is sublime. And sitting by the fire, listening...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Knowing multiple postman(women too) (including 2 cousins), I know that your statement is false. The postmaster general threw sorting into a nightmare with the equipment fiasco and set the USPS back 3 decades. There has been political pressure to break up the USPS and farm it out to private...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    I have never had an issue with the USPS until the current postmaster general took over. He completely screwed the USPS and all of us at the same time. It is criminal. There is no justification for his ordering the destruction of the newly modernized sorting equipment.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    A completely different genre. Historical fiction that is done really well. The first book is difficult for most newcomers but the characters develop really well and it is easy to become immersed in the books. Cannons, women, sailing, wives, whigs, tories, spies, blood, guts, Brits vs...

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    That is one of 2 first American edition copies of the Surprise. I am about to put this one on the bay. I read the series at least 2x a year and have done so since 1994 or so and I really wish that 21 was complete. Or that they would hire a really good ghostwriter to finish it. Another great...

    Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    I use the reviews extensively when pondering a purchase of a new blend. Why would you not do that? Also, once you have identified those with similar tastes as yourself, then it makes it all the easier to make a decision to pull a trigger or not. And besides, I simply read them for...

    I have never had a problem. If you are worried, call them and give them the card info over the phone.

    How Many Have Had The No Label Mystery?

    There is no white mass on any of the flakes. The issue is reflection off the glass.

    How Many Have Had The No Label Mystery?

    I am moving some blends, mostly Latakia, to thick mylar vacuum bags and as I am going through jars, I found this (see photo). No Label, no faded sharpie, nothing. This is from before I began buying bulk Virginia's for the cellar. I do not want to open but guess I should. It was from a tub still...

    How Late in the Evening is Your Last Bowl of the Day?

    I have severe insomnia and usually only get 2-3 hours of sleep per night...so to speak. So I smoke whenever the urge hits me. And with Covid isolation, the separation of the night from the day is non-existent for me.
