    Hunting Red VAs and McClelland Wannabes

    I just received the 4oz of 515-RC1 today (haven't tried it before). I think I need to wait a week before trying it to allow for removing the sardine smell thoughts from my sinuses mind.

    High-End Pipes - Do They Improve the Smoking Experience?

    The bit/button, as has been mentioned. This is becoming more and more of a big deal for me. I'm considering paying to shrink and smooth the button on my 60.00 Rossi Lucca 8111. While not collectible, for a total investment under 150.00 it might just wind up high end to me.

    Rain, rain, and more rain. Cool temps though so nice on the FL porch even if a little damp. Enjoying HU Louisiana Broken in the Rossi Lucca with black coffee.

    Do You Keep Certain Pipes For Certain Types of Tobacco?

    I haven't found the magic blend needing the one special pipe yet. I do use certain shapes with blend categories, but nothing scientific because of bowl size making blend types better etc... One decent Sav billiard and a few cobs for aromatics as I don't do aromatics much. A couple bulldogs...

    Anyone Like Newminster No. 400?

    +1 for me as well. I haven't tried any of the small amount of Newminster SNF I have stashed yet but looking forward to it, especially based on price.

    First Time I Bought A Pound

    Plus with some shippers it's the only thing cushioning the tins bought so multiple pounds may just be a necessity now.

    The Simplistic Luxury of Shag Tobacco - An Essay: Informative Yet Non-Combative, with Tidings of Comfort and Joy.

    Don't fret. You're in good company. Lincoln often got lost in Gen. McClellan(d)'s rambling about why his army wasn't quite ready to fight. ;) Edit add: and on topic ?to shag cut.

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

    Giving the Brebbia Dublin a workout this week. Alternating my evening smokes of Quiet Nights (tonight) and Nightcap (yesterday and likely tomorrow). They're different but delicious and teaching my palate.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    A couple orders arrived. The one with the Navy Rolls was back ordered for a little bit but both arrived OK this week. Deepening cellar of the De Luxe Navy Rolls and widening a bit with the others.

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

    "Swirly" stem...? To use grammar school vernacular. Love that pipe, if it's what I think it is. Edit: oops and yes it is! I see the pic now.

    Thoughts On Special 50th Birthday Pipe.

    The nuggets re some specific quality artisans are certainly worth grabbing here. While not my thread I add my thanks to those in the know for sharing some valued names. Thanks much.
