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

    First bowl of SPC Hood Canal in a 321 Savinelli author. It strikes me as a quality blend, but for some reason no matter how many latakia-forward blends I try, they just make me want to have a bowl of Ten Russians instead. Maybe I should quit trying others and simply add more Ten Russians to my...

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

    Picayune in a Carolina Gent with coffee this morning. Fortunately I still have an unopened tin and small tub of this stuff left (and a bit in a jar which I'm smoking now). I'm still waiting for someone to put out a match version of this. In the meantime, I find Bayou Night scratches that...

    Bayou Night in my big MM Freehand cob, a bit of Jack Daniel's on the side.

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

    Oh, I guess you can't tell from the photos of course. I did check the site and they have some very nice selections.

    Wow that's a nice little meer. I like the simple clean lines of it. I don't have a meer, thinking I'll look this one up to get the dimensions. Might be my first one.

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

    Just relit the second half of my MM Freehand with Old Joe Krantz (it's a big pipe). He's still ranting about my being on his lawn.

    Old Joe Krantz in my MM Freehand. Old Joe is yelling to me to get off his lawn, and explaining that it's actually my own lawn is getting me nowhere. Feisty old bastard but I like him.

    Lifes Been a Little Rough This Last Year.

    My condolences sir. Enjoy your memories with that new pipe. Since you got it to remember her by, I'm sure it will serve that purpose for you as long as you live.

    Cob Pipe Attributes

    I primarily smoke cobs, though I do have several briars I like and a couple clays. I do spend extra for the higher end models with nicer stems, as well as having custom stems for some. I like the light weight, the no-fuss maintenance (pretty much only ever ram a cleaner through) and the way...

    Not a Hobby!?

    I've never really thought of what to call it. A pastime perhaps, but I think that's still considered 'hobby'. I think there is a difference between something you do for enjoyment regularly and an actual hobby. For example, I drink beer and wine. I know the ones I like, and leave it at that...

    Wood Match Annoyance

    You could just light your match with a bic and be done with it. Lit match. No little sparkling mortars flying off, no butane flame, none of that. And you still get to light with a match. I know you mentioned that in your post, but really it's a very effective simple solution I think.

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

    Thanks for the link. I'll think I'll give them a try. I have the couple Boswell stems for Country Gents which are quite nice, but I like how these folks have an offering for pretty much every cob MM has. Think I'll get something special for my MM Freehand.

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

    Nice stem -- did you buy that separate somewhere? I have a couple from Boswell's I use for my Country Gents.
