    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    That chimney bowl is nice! I may have to add one to my collection.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    My employer requires us to be on camera in meetings, and forbids smoking or vaping on camera. But our customer has no camera requirement. The daily team meetings and other meetings are good candidates for afternoon pipes.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Work meeting went into overtime, so I’m having another bowl of Steamworks. Absolutely delicious. It goes well with A&W Ice Cream Sundae root beer. I’ll spare you all a repeat of the photo.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Steamworks 2024 in a Falcon Dover bowl After recent talk about Orientals, and Tashkent in particular, I decided to give this a try. It may only be first-bowl novelty speaking, but wow: what a nice blend! I really like the flavor and aroma.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2025?***

    Tashkent in a GBD Dublin Between recent talk about both Tashkent and Falcons, I realized that I had never smoked Tashkent in a briar, and I wanted to see whether I can detect a difference between the two. It will take some time and multiple bowls, I expect.

    LJPeretti Tashkent review

    In May I ordered an ounce of Tashkent to try, and it quickly became one of my favorites: I ordered a pound this morning. The day before I first tried Tashkent, I had tried C&D From Beyond and enjoyed it a lot; Tashkent had some similar elements which I also enjoyed. Must be the orientals. I...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    It was good all the way to the nub: nice tobacco flavor, no drama, and thankfully I still have a robusto version to look forward to as well. I love a good premium cigar, but sometimes a cheapo bundle cigar really hits the spot!

    To My Fellow Falcon Owners

    I smoke Falcon briars about 60% of the time, with bowls going back to the 1970s, and I can't say that I've noticed any difference in flavor between the older briar and the newer. Falcons always smoke well for me. As jpberg said, maybe you just prefer your briar pipes.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    The weather is sketchy and time is short, perfect time for that bundle cigar I bought at Bosse’s News and Tobacco in Green Bay a few months ago. It’s Dominican, it’s a robusto, it cost me $2.80, and it’s very pleasant.

    Are There Any Anime Fans Here?

    I watched Battle of the Planets every day in 5th or 6th grade. I haven’t revisited it though.

    Are There Any Anime Fans Here?

    I suppose I'd better add Speed Racer, then: we watched it every day after school back in the 70s.

    Are There Any Anime Fans Here?

    Early 2000s for me too: I haven’t watched anything newer than that. Still enjoy watching Sorcerer Hunters and Trigun, but my favorite is still Excel Saga. Every month at work, when the new hires introduce themselves, at least one says “I’m into anime”. I suspect this doesn’t mean the same...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    First cigar in several weeks: a Montecristo double corona Very pleasant cigar for a lazy, rainy afternoon.

    Pipe Clubs? (UP of Michigan)

    @EveningSmoke03 Nice to meet you! I live south of Marquette, and my son goes to Northern. I don't know of any pipe clubs in the area--or any pipe smokers, for that matter (except for pipe maker Lee Von Erck, who lives in Negaunee). This fall I'd like to try to attend a Green Bay meetup, but...
