    Would You Like to Live in Gawith Hoggarth & Co Headquarters?

    I wonder if the place still reeks of granny panties.

    Savinelli Issue

    On second thought, I would not mess around with a q-tip. I'd remove the stem, hold the stummel under the sink faucet, and run warm water through it, letting it soak in the shank for a minute or so. Then replace the stem and let it dry about 48 hours before testing the fit. If that proves to be a...

    Savinelli Issue

    I have an estate Savinelli 673 that came with a stem as loose as you're describing. It only took a smoke or two before it fit perfectly snug and has stayed that way for about 4 years now. The pipe was given to me by a cigar smoker who said that he hadn't smoked it in years, so the shank was...

    Keeping a Tobacco Log

    I have exactly one tobacco log in my collection. In the past some here have referred to it as "horse dong tobacco", which isn't doing it any favors in my opinion.

    Ennerdale Flake

    A few big sniffs from of jar of Grasmere might be enough to cure your lakeland curiosity without ruining a pipe by actually smoking the stuff. As far as living in fear of granny panties goes ... I recommend seeking solace in a support group for those inflicted with the disorder.

    Does The Tin Aroma Often Live Up To The Taste?

    A good retrohale of the charring light is the place where flavor and tin note most often align in sweet harmony.

    Ennerdale Flake

    Exploring the variety of Lakeland flavors has certainly been a fun side trip on the journey of pipe smoking. I thought a Lakeland was just a Lakeland and had no idea that the added flavorings are so different from blend to blend until I started digging in. So far I think Bosun is my favorite...

    Ennerdale Flake

    Grasmere is easily the most in your face WTF thing I have ever smoked. I've never had Ennerdale but can't comprehend how anything could possibly be more "ground zero Lakeland" than Grasmere.

    Bulk English Blend Search

    I don't know if most people would call it an English or Balkan or what but Potlatch is a fantastic blend with an obvious measure of latakia. It doesn't really fit into either of the above categories for me because of the strong and absolutely delectable burley influence. I'm calling it a bulk...

    Happy Molto Dolce Day

    Oops … I tossed my can of Molto Dolce in the fire after a few failed attempts at getting a decent smoke. Thank gawd I still have some Vanilla Custard around here somewhere.

    Pipe Rotation or Random Use?

    I have three categories of pipes, those dedicated to lakelands, latakia blends, and everything else. Other than that I just pick whichever pipe I want in the moment regardless of how often or how recently it was smoked.

    Really Need to Stop PAD.

    Why stop PAD now? You have less than two weeks until the IPSD sales start popping up. Nice pipes!

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    SG Kendal Cream Flake in the Tsuge Mizki with a nice mug of coffee. I didn't think much of this blend when I first tried it but it sure has grown on me.
