    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2022?***

    Mississippi Mud in a MM Freehand. It's my first try of it. I figured I might like it since I like Ten Russians. Not sure about it yet, but I never am after a first bowl, especially if the tin hasn't been open for a while.

    First Pipe, Briar Or Cob?

    I started with a cheap cob off the drugstore rack, and was kinda turned off by it because of the filter, or the overly airy draw if the filter was removed. It just seemed to confuse matters for me. For that reason, I think a briar is best for a new smoker. On the other hand, a 'higher-end'...

    People Who Shorten Your Name

    I think you should refer to someone by the name they introduced themselves to you as, at least until/if you become closer friends. For me, I have an Italian name "Dante", and what has irked me sometimes was people asking me if I go by "Don" or "Dan" (as if to say 'surely you don't actually go...

    Mac Baren Burley London Blend Available!

    I have several tins on the way I ordered on a whim. From the reviews I've read, it seemed to be a nice straightforward burley with a slight chocolate/cocoa note. Sort of like a little stronger Prince Albert-type blend. Anyone that's already had this, does that sound about right?

    320 vs. 321: A (re)Discussion

    For me, the 321 as I like a slightly smaller pipe in general, and only travel with smaller pipes. A 320 would be fine, it would just be one that stays on my back porch for when I want a larger bowl at home. Currently, I only own a 321 (author), and it's one of my most frequently used pipes...

    Opinions on Boswell’s Tobacco

    I don't care for aromatics, or very mild blends, and all Boswell blends fall under those categories. That's not to say they are not quality blends, just not blends I care for. I _will_ say that for the rare occasion I'd like something on the aromatic side, their Boswell's Premium Burley is...

    C&D Old Joe Krantz Tin Identification

    Like the others said, it's an old tin, when there was no red, blue, or white label variants. If it were newer, it'd still be Old Joe Krantz, as the other labeled blends would specify they were red, white, or blue label. Also, as a long time OJK smoker, I can say that tin's going to be great...

    F-1, Formula-1, Top Dedicated Racing

    To follow up, a supremely talented American driver has the US racing world open to him/her. They would have a choice of becoming successful and rich in an American racing league, or they could (if offered) drive a Williams or an Aston Martin in F1, hoping to get a seat in a better car. That's...

    F-1, Formula-1, Top Dedicated Racing

    The problem is most Americans wouldn't know he was a competitive driver unless he had a competitive car. An upcoming American driver isn't likely to get a Red Bull/Ferrari/Mercedes seat right off the bat. Ideally, for a Yank team, he'd be a Haas driver, but then of course he can't compete...

    Too Hot to Smoke?

    Well my personal record is over 140 F in Southern Iraq in 04. It definitely puts the world (and war) in slow motion. I just smoked the Marlboros then.

    F-1, Formula-1, Top Dedicated Racing

    Yeah, he did, but I wonder if he owned it for the team. I saw some metrics that suggest it is yet again the throttle. I don't know.

    Wilke Wall Street in my Nording Spruce. Just got a pound in today so I figured I better get crackin'!
