    Your Hidden Gem Tobaccos! Time to Share ‘Em.

    I don't see a need for anybody to be greedy and/or paranoid about this, particularly those sitting on a decent cellar. At a minimum there are easily several hundred fantastic tobaccos out there that can be purchased nearly every day of the year in any reasonable quantity desired. The problem for...

    High(er) Nicotine Aromatics

    Holly's Non Plus Ultra is reported to be an aromatic with a bit of N. I double dare you to try it.

    High(er) Nicotine Aromatics

    Take it up a notch with a 1 to 1 mix of Luxury Twist Flake and Tropical Mango Flake. Coconut and Mango together on a nice bed of Virginia. I call it the Pina Colada … not that I have any idea what's actually in a real Pina Colada. I think it was Cosmic that first turned me on to that one.

    High(er) Nicotine Aromatics

    Solani Tropical Mango Flake has some N. I wouldn't call it strong in the nic department but it packs way more than your standard goopy aro.

    Good idea. Will do. I certainly don't mean to hijack this thread.

    Who Makes Your Favorite Stems?

    Ardor. The buttons are very thin vertically but wide horizontally. I real pleasure to smoke.

    First In 2020

    I'm in the market for a straight billiard. I've never owned one and dedcided that the time has come for me to try one out. I'd like to keep it under $200 and plan to dedicate it to Va/Per or straight Virginia blends. Anyone have a favorite that they can suggest?

    How Many TV's Do You Have?

    I remember the days when my wife and I would lay on the couch and watch absolutely stupid crap on TV for hours almost every evening. Then we had three kids, bought a property with endless projects, and didn't take the TV with us when we moved. It's been about 10 years now and I've never missed...

    Jim's Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Rum Barrel Aged Review.

    Frog Morton is rolling in his grave cellar. Thanks for the review Jim. I look forward to trying them both.

    Balkan Sobrainie In Stock

    P&C + unicorn blend + no tin limit = recipe for disaster This reminds me of a time earlier this year when they had Pelican in stock for days. I ordered one and didn't get it due an "inventory issue." Good luck folks.

    Mac Baren HH Line

    Old Dark Fired, Acadian Perique, and Vintage Syrian are outstanding to my taste. I found Latakia Flake to be boring. Still need to try Bold Kentucky.

    HH Old Dark Fired

    ODF is among my favorites and I also wonder how it ages. Anybody know when it was first released? Is it subject to the deeming axe?

    Really Struggling.

    Don't be scared to put the flame to that sucker. Sometimes I think new smokers get carried away with cautious char lights, gentle puffing, etc. My advice is not to overthink it. Do what you need to do to get a decent ember going and roll with it.

    What Are Your Wish List Tobaccos?

    I just made a short wishlist the other day. Nothing fancy, just a few that I've been wanting to try. Ennerdale 1792 Acadian Perique Bayou Morning Deluxe Navy Rolls Also some more Old Dark Fired and Grasmere for the cellar.

    Top Ramen Noodles

    In prison we would make "sweet and sour pork" out of ramen noodles, slim Jim beef sticks, cherry kool aid, pork rinds, and sriracha. Ahhhhh the good old days.

    Change In Grousemoor

    Why would they bother saucing the product for the American market? Sauce or no sauce, they know it will sell out within 24 hours of hitting the online shelves and then just sit in the back of some hoarders closet until he kicks the bucket and his widow sends it to the landfill. I jest, but...

    Change In Grousemoor

    Yep. I only have the one tin (2018) so nothing to compare it to but I did expect it to have some sort of flavoring. I detect almost none. Very very faintly floral ... maybe. It sucks. I'll probably never open the jar again. Grasmere on the other hand...

    The Best Of 2019

    Can someone please provide a brief breakdown of the water flush process? Stem on or stem off for the flush and/or dry?

    Smoking Pipe in the Rain

    Haha. I dropped a Dagner poker cob over the rail while salmon trolling once. It floats! We finished our pass over the fish and then turned around to get it about 5-10 minutes later. This was in the ocean so I gave it a good freshwater rinse when I got home. The pipe still smokes like a champ...
