***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
2023's crop of homegrown (~95% Samsun 5% Rustica), which was later spiced up with some bulk DFK, and rehydrated with a splash of Raki, in my Altinok billiard with a silver band from when I cracked the stem a li'l. I suppose technically this is actually my cheapest tobacco.- Pooh-Bah

From my limited experience with codgers (Half&Half, SWR, Five Bros), my favorite has been Five Brothers.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***
Weather and the sniffles have kept me from the pipe since New Years Eve. No longer, I say! My cheapest tobacco, in my most expensive pipe - Ryback, and an Aizu-e pattern Tsuge, both from a Smoking Pipes order during their year end sale. Translator's note: Aizu-e means "Aizu Picture", and is a...- Pooh-Bah

Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part
+1792 - Pegasus No fooling, I'm probably gonna buy some Pegasus in my next order. But for now, I'm just gonna beat this wingaling horse until it's as dead as War Horse soon will be. Edit- Technically I voted three minutes too early and have broken the law. Ah well, I'm sure everything will be...- Pooh-Bah

American Tobacco Blends Europeans MUST Try.
Probably my two favorite Cornell&Diehl blends are Gentleman Caller (VA/Per/Bur that'll ghost your pipe with deer tongue grass) and Dreams Of Kadath (VA/Per/Bur/KY with some Oriental and a light topping of some sorta wine or brandy). Those might be up your alley too, maybe. I'll also declare an...- Pooh-Bah

Anyone Play Video Games?
The good news is that none of the original trilogy are truly bad - First Mass Effect is amazing, the second one is solid, the third one is alright. I haven't touched Andromeda. Dragon Age peaks at Origins, declines rather sharply with 2 (plot is still good, but they only made like, six dungeon...- Pooh-Bah

Anyone Play Video Games?
You could probably go through a tin or two in the time it'd take to finish a game of Stellaris (if you want sci-fi) or Crusader Kings (if you want feudal alternate history), assuming constant pipeage. Mass Effect is good, so is Dragon Age, but both series had a curse laid on them by a wandering...- Pooh-Bah

Thoughts on Good Pipe Racks?
I don't know where he got it, but a gentleman I spoke with at a cigar lounge a week or two ago mentioned how he got his son-in-law some sort of leather sheet with some loops so he could hang it from the wall, with holes in it to hold pipes. It's not exactly a "rack", but it'd keep your pipes...- Pooh-Bah

Anyone Play Video Games?
Replaying Warcraft 3 (original, not Reforged), currently on mission 4 of the Reign of Chaos undead campaign. Y'know, the one where you need to waste a third of Arthas' inventory slots to carry a necromancer's ashes and a magical key to open a magical elf gate so he can proceed to lay waste to a...- Pooh-Bah

Ugliest Pipe award
Eh, some more sanding and oil, maybe some Renaissance wax, and I'd probably think it handsomer by far than most four-figure pieces I've seen. I'd show off my adventure in pipe-craft, but I gave it to a novice smoker after I got my money's worth out of it. Came out as a sorta rounded square...- Pooh-Bah

Favorite bulldog models
Granted that 2 isn't a very big sample size, but I haven't owned a bad Ropp (the age and horn stems appeal to me). I like the shape, but apparently not enough to own more than one bulldog (other's a belge) And I can confuse people by referring to it as a French Bulldog. -
How Many Blends Do You Have in Rotation?
I've always had about the same number of "active" blends, but curiosity and experimentation have lead to more open containers than when I was starting off (back when I had like, two pouches and a tin all from B&M's). "Current rotation" is War Horse, Gentleman Caller, Haunted Bookshop, Cob Plug...- Pooh-Bah

Wind affecting pipe smoking question?
If the wind speed is double-digit mph, I don't smoke outside unless I'm really bored and feel like fighting it. In upper single digit, I generally hold the pipe like this to protect from the wind as much as possible.- Pooh-Bah
