    Duke With a Cob

    Always love it when Ford has Wayne smoking. An old favorite is on and he's switching between cobs and briars. I won't spoil it for those too young to know which movie. You kids will just have to hunt for it.

    Who? Closed Threads

    Which currant member holds the record for causing the most thread closings and/or removals? I'm not asking about threads in which the mod simply tired of the thread or, the need to monitor the thread. We can count threads which were obviously going to be closed based on the original post or a...

    Arnie - Dead at 87

    I sure am gonna miss his smile and good nature. A great run for a great guy. That he was internationally known by only his first name speaks more eloquently than anything I can write.

    Punchlines

    Rainy night here. I'm bored. What follows is the punchline to one of my favorite jokes. "Welllll, I'd pet him first him first," suggested the first drunk. "And make sure he's friendly." Anyone else?

    War Horse Tins

    P&C, as you read this, or maybe tomorrow, is primping 5 tins of "the Horse" for a flight to Alaska.

    What's Your Goal

    Since joining the forum a couple of years ago I've become infatuated with what drives the members with regard to tobacco. Over the years I've found a couple of blends that I always enjoy and stick with them. Although primarily a fan of English, there exist a couple of aros I keep in the house...

    Hef

    What's next? Hef drops the bunny? Then the pipe? Quits wearing PJs? I suppose it had to come as he is mostly a caricature of himself these days. What you ask caused this reaction? No more naked ladies in Playboy as of this coming March. Next thing you know someone will post pictures of...

    STC's "Bengal Slices"

    Open it, smell it, rub it, stuff it and light it. I did all of that and now I know why I liked the blend so much years ago. My memory fails me as to what the old blend tasted like exactly, I just know that it was a favorite for years. This incarnation is really smooth and rich with tobacco...

    John Cotton's Smyrna

    I like this! It's a sleeper. A tickle in the nose and my mouth loves it. "Smyrna" lights well, I have to pay more attention to this as I smoke than a couple of my other blends. I had to relight once after a particularly good passage in Vol. l of a Teddy Roosevelt trilogy. Other than that...

    John Cotton's Nos. 1 & 2 Medium

    Here's where my palate fails me. I can see a difference in the physical makeup between "1 & 2 Med" and "No. 1 Mild." I do not pick up on the increased Latakia. Still, I know a satisfying smoke and this blend is every bit as flavorful as the "Mild." I'll have to leave the differences to...

    STC's "John Cotton's No. 1 Mild"

    This one's easy. It's very close to one of my "go to" blends, IRC "Balkan Supreme" in taste. More Latakia in the IRC though I think. "No. 1 Mild" smokes easy, stays lit with minimal attention and provides a nice "Oriental" flavor. To me there is just enough Latakia to make me ask, "Is there a...

    STC's War Horse

    Three bowls tonight and I can say I like it. It's nothing extraordinary and my palate is pretty shot but, I found it a nice smoke. I thought it burned very evenly if a bit fast. The nice, smooth tobacco flavor was very satisfying. I could easily turn to it as an all day, everyday smoke...

    Irrefutable Rules of Pipe Smoking

    I can readily only think of a couple, the first two. 1. A suitable tool or pipe - I believe we can all agree on this. What is suitable is open for argument of course. 2. An acceptable blend - one which the smoker enjoys is absolutely necessary for an enjoyable smoke. 3. Draw? Nope, Personal...

    Sorry, I Cannot Resist!

    Booker is hosting a going away party over on the "Forever Stems" thread. He's serving donkey I believe.

    My Comfort Blend

    I was loading a meer with some 3Star Blue and it dawned on me that I have smoked this blend regularly since, if my memory serves me, the early 1970's. I smoke other blends regularly but, 3Star is always available. I can live without it, sometimes go a week not touching the jar. But, somehow...

    Clay Pipe Smoking

    The following passage is from a wee book I am currently reading. I thought some might find it interesting. " ...the old man would translate or begin the story in English with many pauses. He would hold a match in his broken clay pipe or a piece of glowing sod, then puff, hold the pipe in one...

    To absent friends, I raise a snifter to your memory, you did well.

    Tasting the Air

    I put this in this discussion as it may, for some, relate to smoking. I learned this from a Russian immigrant who was very old when I was very young. He said he had learned it from Siberian Natives. I've spoken to Alaskan Natives who were surprised that I found it unusual. Mikhiel, "Russian...

    Do Not Read This! Post Count Only

    The questions was, would I use the word "crap" in my two thousandth post? Yew, yes I will. It seems only fitting as that thread was closed with no explanation. I really hate that. At least it didn't go "poof" and cause me to lose post count.
