    D&R Ramback Balkan

    I love Orientals and Balkans. But this tobacco I would not wish on my worst enemy. It is downright heinous. I am not sure I would even consider using it as a mixer....why chance ruining the other tobacco?! I had a bucket of this...first tobacco I tossed out. I kept the bucket to hold...

    Briar Age

    I have not read this before. Because they are even more dry???? EDIT: Nevermind...read the rest of the thread.

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

    Tonight's insomnia aid kit includes an old standby in Tullamore Dew, one of my smoothest smoking pipes - a Nording Spruce Cone, some 8 yr old Presbyterian, Kendall Pinewood Ice snuff, some my mix Jocks Choice snuff, a bit of Bukowski to read, and a cedar stick from coastal Georgia that I am...

    Why Do You Think PM IS The Number ONE Pipe Site ON The Web?

    I come here for the whisky. And all of you curmudgeon old-timers.

    Anyone Into Tabletop/Card RPGs or Board Games?

    Never good at RPG's. Just not wired that way. But my kids play MTG and have roped me in during this pandemic. I tried playing back when it was released and have, apparently a butt ton of rare cards that they like to borrow for their games. We play a lot of cribbage, poker, and other board games.

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    I can agree with this 100%. And as I asked above, which of his blends are nothing more than a new label? I want to know so I can avoid unless they are a bargain, which I doubt.

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    Which blends does he sell as his that are nothing more than rebranded blends? I am not arguing, I simply want to know so I can avoid paying a premium for those blends. I think the blends of his that I have bought are blends he uses McClelland tobacco such as 5100 combined with blending...

    Who Here Has/Had Child Support Payments?

    I was given full custody of my kids and still, the state of Penn made me pay child support. No alimony. Just child support. And after suing the evil one for years, I was never given child support....and that only scratches the surface of how broken the system is.

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    I use an app called Web Alert. It is free and easy to use. Copy the url of the page you want to monitor and create a watch event. Set how frequently you want it to check for a change to the page and your good. I was looking to try Goblin mixture so I set the alert and it pinged me as soon as it...

    She Would Have Been 46 Today

    I have no words. A lovely tribute. I am very sorry for your loss and happy that you did not keep you from finding happiness with another. Not sure I would have been as strong.

    Watch City Vs Peretti Blends: What Are Your Favorites?

    I have not tried a Watch City blend but only live an hour or so away from their shop. What are your favorites? I enjoy Peretti's offerings and have only scratched the surface of what they offer. Here are my favorites...what are yours? Peretti Tashkent Peretti Royal Peretti Cambridge Flake...

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    I find it interesting that many here are attacking what they see as fake blending because he takes other blends and alters them. Isn't that was blending is??? The industry has been doing this forever. There are plenty of examples of a number of large companies taking Sutliff's Medium English...

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    I stick to the VaOriental blends. He has a great hand with these. Sakura is not bad either. But if you have smoked one Burley blend, you have smoked all bittered burley blends.

    What Do You Think About Ken Byron Blends?

    You do not have to chase them down. Put a watch on the site and visit it when there is a change in inventory. OR simply read his Instagram every now and then. He gives a schedule on releases. Also, a lot of his blends are always in stock and on his page. No chasing involved.

    Enjoy Tobacco and Nicotine in Other Forms?

    I just bought some F&T. I think it has been revived. You can by Paris but I prefer Seville and it makes a good mixer.

    Enjoy Tobacco and Nicotine in Other Forms?

    I have never found it an issue. In fact, I now match up my nasal snuff to complement my pipe tobacco choice.

    Enjoy Tobacco and Nicotine in Other Forms?

    Nasal snuff. It is an effective nicotine delivery system with great flavor.

    Bubinga Wood (?)

    Actually, they do. You have to dig a bit deeper and follow some internal links. For instance, on Bubinga: " Bubinga has been reported to cause skin irritation and/or skin lesions in some individuals." You might think, "some" is no big deal and indeed, it may not be. On the other hand, they...
