Ken Byron Blends
I have had a chance to smoke 2 different KBV blends and they are great. The Sakura is the first Cherry blend that I truly think I could smoke weekly. I like GW Top Black Cherry but the Sakura is just better. You get a hint of cherry with good tobacco backing it up and it provides a slight...- aquadoc

What In God's Holy Name Is This?
Also, to add to the above descriptions: Virgin Angels hand pick the tobacco. They use their farts to add a bit of smoky essence and they then layer it into grape tubs where small demons are made to macerate it with their heated toes.- aquadoc

Scientists Studying Nicotine's Potential to Treat COVID-19
Yes. AquaDoc was the nickname given me by my fellow grad students because I worked in freshwater, estuaries, and near-shore systems. My doctoral work focused on large river, estuarine, and salt marsh food webs. You? I mostly do freshwater work now but do help the marine folks too.- aquadoc

Wilke 10 VS Peretti Tashkent VS Peretti Royal VS Sasieni OR White Knight
No. I like it as it is blended. But sometimes I want a bit of sweetness from a Virginia. Royal, I smoke as is. But Tashkent has a different profile and I do add Virginia at times. Not all of the time.- aquadoc

Wilke 10 VS Peretti Tashkent VS Peretti Royal VS Sasieni OR White Knight
I love Tashkent and it is a slam dunk smoke with a bit of stoved Virginia mixed in...maybe 30 Virginia: 70 Tashkent. I like all of the Peretti Balkans. Thinking of trying a few ounces of Loch Lomond. But the original reason for the question is that I wanted to buy some Wilke #10...which is...- aquadoc

Scientists Studying Nicotine's Potential to Treat COVID-19
Just wait. It gets better and better. Especially when they can talk and discuss things with you. We have 7. A few adopted. We will have 2 left at home once my senior moves on to college. They are all a blessing and frustrating and fun. You will see.- aquadoc

I have worked as a researcher, professor, consultant, and now as a program manager for a conservation organization. Our income seems to be inversely related to our education and experience. It is frustrating.- aquadoc

Scientists Studying Nicotine's Potential to Treat COVID-19
The problem isn't the scientists and the data. The problem is the timeline and the ridiculous ways politicians twist what should not be twisted. There is a huge need for rigorous studies before anyone says anything other than "there might be a trend". My daughter is on the frontline working...- aquadoc

Pipe Smoking While Driving a Convertible?
Smoking in your car is no different than talking, eating a burger, drinking a coke, etc. Smoking in a convertible without a pipe screen is not something I would do unless I did not mind burn marks on the leather, burned-out pipes, ashes in the face, etc.- aquadoc

A Few New Estates With A Question
I acquired these 2 estates: 1. A Kriswill Golden Clipper. It smokes well and I am getting used to the flat sides of the bowl. Straight-flame grain around the bowl. BTW, what is the origin of pipes with these flat sides? 2. A Brakner made Henley Sport. This is an incredible smoker and it... -
Wilke 10 VS Peretti Tashkent VS Peretti Royal VS Sasieni OR White Knight
Has anyone tried all of these blends? Opinions/ranking? I am making my first Wilke order and would be thankful for any advice regarding this Balkan, 10. Thanks. ***Nevermind. I misread. No. 10 is no longer produced as many of you, I am sure, know. Crossed wires here. Great way to start the...- aquadoc
