New Chicago Pipe Club! 1st meeting this Saturday - Beginner to Expert: All welcome :)
The main reason I don't think kids should be smoking is that they have much faster trigger fingers and therefore will snap up all of the limited-release tobacco I'm trying to buy.- khiddy

New Chicago Pipe Club! 1st meeting this Saturday - Beginner to Expert: All welcome :)
For the record, I don’t think kids should be pipesmoking, and therefore shouldn’t be RSVPing. 😜- khiddy

Considering stocking up on Watch City & Peretti. What would you buy?
My Rouxgaroux order just arrived and I was glad I’d added 4oz each of OD and 558 to the cart. As well as 2oz each of OBM, Simply Gold, and the new Jim’s Special. Plus I’d traded for 8oz of 558 from a fella that arrived the same day, so I’m pretty well set on that tasty blend. But the real...- khiddy

Any LearnedLeague players here?
Is anyone else here a member of LearnedLeague? If so, you are cordially invited to play the 1DS I’ve smithed that’s live today, “Pipes and Pipers.” Extremely online pipe smokers like you should do quite well! Translation for non-LearnedLeague “normies”: I have written a trivia quiz, 12...- khiddy

Did Thanksgiving Day Sell Out Already?
I was awake at Midnight and it was indeed for sale. I had some in my cart and then decided against buying any, as I need to get my TAD under some sort of control and not buying new-to-me blends is part of my process. By the time I woke up after going to bed, it was indeed gone.- khiddy

My BLEND
You've beat the odds. Congrats! Of course, the fact that BCA is heavily topped/cased with Propylene Glycol is working in your favor.- khiddy

My BLEND
While you will see these jars on the counter at your local B&M tobacconist, they are not recommended for longterm storage, as the rubber seal will slowly dry out and leak moisture. Longterm storage is best done in the standard mason jars with the two-piece lids (i.e., lid and ring) or...- khiddy

D&R Burley .97 or maybe .25 an ounce
My 5lbs arrived yesterday, even with the extortionate excise taxes it was less than $7/lb. One huge factory sealed bag. And they gave me free shipping. W00t!- khiddy

Nightcap Dissapointment
According to reviews I've seen of the current production Mac Baren blends (from JimInks and several others), even if they're still being made in the same factory by the same people (as production has not yet been shut down and moved to the newer STG factory), the MacB blends are already taking a...- khiddy

The STG Vinegar Curse Continues
This is a great question. It’s really hard to tell which vendor between SP and WVSS would have fresher Lane. I mean, WVSS is certainly the less-trafficked site, but I’d bet that a much higher percentage of their customers are Lane smokers than those of SP, which could translate to a faster...- khiddy

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Had a parfait of 2016 C&D Bayou Morning with Rattray Dark Fragrant in a Bones Big Bent Apple. Smoked to the bottom on one light and left little moisture, but I could’ve used a little more sweetness in the bowl. Bayou Morn is just too “dry” for my taste. However, the medium nic kick was nice...- khiddy

Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.
Isn’t Matt a cofounder of the SPC who lives in Seattle? It sounds like C&D hired a former Sutliff guy to actually come in to the factory to blend as his day job, which even in these remote-work days would be quite impractical for a guy who lives on the other coast…- khiddy

Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.
And yet it seems obvious (per a growing chorus of voices including JimInks) that something has changed in the production, whether it be a reduction in fermentation or decreasing the amount of sauce or whatever. I’ve not yet read a single review of the latest production that has praised any of...- khiddy

Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.
I had a bowl of "vintage" Plum Pudding last night in celebration. That is one fine and cool smoke, and it never bit once even though I was really chooching it. Tasty as can be. Glad to know I don't have to jealously guard and dole out my stash. Bring on the SPC&D!- khiddy

Izmir Tobacco and Best Implementation?
How does one smoke a blend ironically? Coincidentally smoking a blend, that I can understand. But to smoke one ironically is new to me.- khiddy
