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

    A whole leaf blend. Kentucky cased with molasses, maple syrup and spiced rum. Stoved real dark. Then rolled into a twist, poured some tonka bean soaked in bourbon and stoved it again. Sweet, dark, strong and smooth. Damn this is tasty! Through a tavern style clay.

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

    Whole leaf blend. Similar to mclellands anniversary(I think...I've never smoked it myself). A mild but rich blend, a subtle interplay. Dark stoved red Virginia 85% Latakia 15% Ribbon cut. Through an Altinay lattice meerschaum billiard(loving this pipe after I opened up the draw!)

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Feeling like a lat bomb, so I mixed up some whole leaf as per usual. 50% latakia 40% stoved red virginia 10% basma oriental Through my Altinay lattice billiard meerschaum. Nice cool and full smoke that's for sure.

    My Hot Meer

    Thanks. The shank is quite long so I couldn't use the drill bit with my drill but just used some needle nose pliers and twisted it through. Was super easy. It was slightly under 1/8! So that was the problem right there. Went up to 9/64, which is smoking good right now, totally fixed the issue...

    My Hot Meer

    I also have a lattice billiard made by Altinay and was smoking it last night(just replaced the 9mm push stem) and it gets really hot too, always has. The smoke coming out the stem is very cool, I figured it was because of the thin walls. It does cool down quickly, but kind of annoying to handle...

    What Do You Do With Your Used Glass Jars?

    Ya it's ridiculous here in canada. Seriously every store was out of jars and lids or every size, for weeks. Most of the stores still don't have jars. And people are actually selling their old jars for crazy prices(okay maybe not 3x the price though) Luckily I found a spot the other day( which I...

    1800's Tobacco Available Today?

    Alot of the Moztek blends by Tom Darasz definitely seem pretty old school, especially the twists.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    It's pretty tasty I must say. I have an urge to really hone in on the simple Virginia Kentucky and va/ky/lat mixtures as alot of my recent blends have all contained perique to some degree. Time to get a little simpler. Combining virginias stoved to various degrees and Kentucky(stoved and...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    My own whole leaf blend. Something simple: Stoved black red virginia 50% Kentucky 40% Unstoved red virginia 10% Topped with lemon hart black spiced rum. In a cob.

    Do You Believe In The Cake? Yes or No

    Yes and no. The cake builds up and when it gets too thick(past a 1/16 of an inch ish) I'll scrape or sand it down. My small pipes and cob get scraped often with my czech tool to keep the cake down. But for the most part I let it build up a bit and knock it off. Except the meer and clays which...

    Look at This IMCO

    Did you get the IMCO lighters from there?

    Do You Smoke Primarily with Nose or Mouth or Both?

    All of the above. learning the retrohale was really a game changer. It really helps to zone in on flavours and is basically necessary to taste what's going on if I'm outside and there is a breeze or wind. If I'm sitting in my porch or a non windy area I'll tend to do it a little less as I get...

    Look at This IMCO

    Looks nice. I just ordered some of the classic 6700 IMCO lighters from Ali Express, after ordering some from eBay and realizing that the ebay people just order from Ali Express and raise the price lol. Anyway got a few for gifts and one for myself. Is yours butane?

    English Never Grows Old

    But it is true(for me) that there is something special about a good English/balkan/latakia blend that doesn't get old. And as this weather is getting cold, foggy and rainy I feel drawn more to the warm comfort of those blends. Can still remember the first time I bought some English house blend...

    English Never Grows Old

    I can definitely relate as I did basically the same thing this year. The wife isnt the biggest fan of me stinking like old man when I come back from a pipe, so as the warm weather rolled in I experimented with more stoved Virginia, Kentucky and perique blends. I do my own blending and processing...

    Perique Sourcing

    +1 for wholeleaftobacco. I've ordered it twice this year. Tasty legit stuff. 17.99/half pound I think

    Filtered Pipes

    My vauen billiard smokes great without it's filter. Also have a Altinay meerschaum that I've never put a filter in either. Give it a go and see how it works for you.

    Your Opinion on Kentucky Fire-Cured Tobacco?

    Well it's a burley, and has a bbq campfire thug going on. So if you don't like either of those things, then it might not hit the spot. I personally love it. The strength and bbq campfire aroma(like smoking smoke!) I do my own blending and sometimes use a heavy hand with it. Burns cool. Also has...
