    I think the Viprati will get the inaugural smoke later this evening.

    When TAD Meets PAD

    Thanks! I can't tell you how many times I have added pipes to my favorites, only to become "currently unavailable" a couple of days later.

    When TAD Meets PAD

    Decided to start exploring some Va/Pers and picked up these 3 tins to start. Of course, since I’ve smoked mainly English blends in most of my pipes, I needed one dedicated to Va/Pers! So I picked up this Savinelli Octavia Rusticated (T1) (438) unsmoked estate from SP. Biggest question of the...

    What Are You Listening To? (August 2020)

    Just finished ABB Brothers and Sisters Super Deluxe Edition. Disc 2 rehearsal tracks and the disc 3 & 4 complete ‘73 Live at Winterland show are a great addition the original album.

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

    Going back to the Fillmore in a Peterson System Standard 312 that has only smoked English blends. Breaking some rules today!

    Is GLP Fillmore A Gateway To Va/Pers?

    Thanks all the recommendations! Anxiously waiting for my order from SP - H&H Viprati, Solani Virginia Flake & Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls. The Va/Per exploration begins...

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

    Back to the top of the rotation - Savinelli 140th Anniversary Blend in a Hercules. This blend is growing on me.

    Taking it easy on the deck with some Lane Limited RLP-6 in a well smoked 35 yr old Savinelli 707 KS

    Is GLP Fillmore A Gateway To Va/Pers?

    After primarily smoking English blends, last night’s bowl of GLP Fillmore was a revelation! Maybe it was the open draw of the Stanwell bulldog, my only straight pipe. Or it could have been Duane Allman and Dickey Betts dueling it out on the headphones. Or maybe the rye manhattan on the rocks. Or...

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

    Even though it’s late afternoon, time for some Early Morning Pipe in a Peterson Premier System B42.

    What Are You Listening To? (August 2020)

    Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East while smoking some GLP Fillmore!

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

    Branching out from English blends to try some GLP Fillmore in a new Stanwell Relief Bulldog - only appropriate music pairing is ABB at Fillmore East...(although the crowd was probably smoking someone a little different in ‘71;))

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

    Sutliff Match 20 in a Rossi Rubino Antico 8320 - no balsa filter, but plastic tube instead.

    “Perfect” Tobacco and Drink Pairings?

    Iced tea, red wine an occasional Manhattan with a water chaser to cleanse the pallet between drinking and smoking. And a cold Anchor Steam is also a nice compliment to an afternoon smoke.

    Greetings From Silicon Valley, CA

    New Orleans, one of my favorite places. I’ve spent several hot, humid August weekends attending the Satchmo Summerfest.

    What Are You Listening To? (August 2020)

    No music tonight. Listening to the Giants trying to eek out a win in Colorado on an actual transistor radio.

    Greetings From Silicon Valley, CA

    I agree! In the middle of enjoying another bowl of Quiet Nights - I think I’ll always have this on hand.
