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

    Cock Robin in a meerschaum. Third or fourth bowl I’ve had of this blend, I think I like it.

    Show Your Tobacco Stash

    I’ve always appreciated seeing others cellars! I’ll play along. 48 pint jars filled and a box full of tins. A little haphazardly shown as I’m in the process of moving.

    MacBaren Navy Plug-SPC 20th Anniversary Special Release

    Ohhh man. I saw this on a FB group and thought I’d come here to see if there were any reviews.. I love the whole ritual of preparing and smoking plugs, but my experience with Macbaren blends are limited to just a few tins and bulk. I thought I was done buying for this calendar year. I don’t...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    - 2 oz of Walnut, branded from The Wharf tobacconist about 45 minutes from me. Really not sure if they mixed it or rebranded it but it smelled really good. It doesn’t smoke like it smells though. Been my experience with aros and it was also soooo goopy. 1.5 hour dry did nothing. May need to set...

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

    Smoking Margate with my most used pipe. At least at work. I prefer rusticated pipes, I can just slide in the cup holder when I am done and don’t have to worry about getting blemishes etc.

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    Finally getting a chance to try one of my tins. I’m glad I was able to order what I did from SP, wish my extra order with B&B was filled though!

    How Late in the Evening is Your Last Bowl of the Day?

    I’ve been on thirds the last few years. I generally smoke my last bowl around 0430-0500 before I’m off work at 0600. I’m finally switching to days this next year and imagine My late evening smoke will be around 9pm just in time for a 10pm bed time.

    I Got COVID!

    I had it in early November. My sense of taste returned finally over a week ago and I’m like almost all the way back with sense of smell. Lacking taste and smell, it was really hard for me to eat food the first few days I had it. It was just a chore to eat mostly anything. I did a lot of soup...

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

    I set aside and rubbed out one PS LBF coin to dry and mixed it with a little rubbed out SG Kendal plug. I’m currently smoking it in my 2014 Butz Choquin Millesime pipe. It’s too cold to smoke outside, this is the second one I’ve decided to smoke indoors today.

    Sutliff Cringle Flake 2020

    ...and it’s gone! Missed that one, woulda liked to of grabbed a few more tins.

    New Escudo

    I guess I’m lucky enough to have never had the “good” Escudo so I don’t know what I’m missing. While I did appreciate the new tin I had bought this year, I had a little trouble wondering why so many like it better than LBF. I have trouble justifying the “new” Escudo cost per tin. Oz for Oz LBF...

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

    I’m revisiting some MacBaren Virginia No. 1 I jarred up last year and set aside. I’m enjoying it a lot better this go around. Smoking in my Swinks pipe freehand sitter.

    What's Your Favorite Drink While Smoking Your Pipe?

    Coffee, tea and water for me. I have yet to find the perfect combo of my choice of liquor - bourbon - and pipe tobacco that complements one another. I find that my bourbon can take away enjoyment of my pipe, and my pipe take away from the bourbon.

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

    Veermaster to break in my First smoke in my Savinelli Caramella 606. I’ve delayed smoking out of this pipe until got most of my taste and smell back from COVID. I’m like 80% there and figured tonight would be a good night to break it in.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Stopped in my local looking for some AF Anejos that supposedly just dropped. Couldn’t find any so I left with 2 Fuente Opus X 888 and 2 Opux X Perfections When I stopped home, I was greeted by the Pembroke in the mail!

    Beginner Storage Question

    Congrats on your first tin! Next thing you know, you will have several tins opened. It’s a slippery slope now? I would most definitely jar if you think you will take months. When I first started, a had a Gurka and Peterson blend go dry within weeks. But I was also leaving them in my car, etc...

    Any Idea When the Next GH and Co Drop Will Be?

    I only have a little bit of Rum Flake left, trying to make it last. I will definitely be ordering more Bob’s chocolate Flake for sure. Actually I’ll probably go overboard and buy a little bit of everything available just to try. The only other GH blend I’ve had was Black Irish rope

    Any News on Warning Labels in the US?

    Well, I guess those of us in the U.S. should be thankful we don’t have any of the horrible graphic warning labels that you see in the EU. . . Imagine digging into your cellar and deciding if you want to smoke what is in the package that has a black lung on it, or the package that shows mouth...
