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

    I mixed C&D Dark Burley 1:1 with Cult BRM. The result is much more pleasant that the BRM by itself. It rounds out the additional burley, and the burley adds substance to a blend that otherwise falls flat on flavor. Pretty good. In a Pete newgrange 999.

    Cats and Pipes

    My little buddy Maisy. I adopted her about a year and a half ago. I didn’t originally smoke around her, but now that she’s older I’m not worried about it. It took her a while to get desensitized to my lighter ping and match strikes. She thinks pipes are a little stinky but still sits with me...

    Capstan Blue in this ‘79 Peterson Deluxe System. I just removed all the oxidation off the stem today. There is still a slight sour taste from the stem though

    Deluxe System Screw-in Condenser

    Thanks, I’ll track them down!

    Deluxe System Screw-in Condenser

    Yeah, I bought one of these and they’re smaller. I think Peterson’s current run of deluxe pipes have a narrower tenon as compared to this ‘79.

    Deluxe System Screw-in Condenser

    Hi all, I have a newly acquired Deluxe System pipe from 1979. Unfortunately, it came without the condenser piece. There are threads in the stem for one. I don’t have an opinion on whether these improve the smoking experience or not, but would like the pipe to be “complete”. I’ve browsed a few...

    Any Homestar Runner fans out there?

    Brother it’s been so long since I’ve thought of Homestar Runner. I’d watch it with my older sisters, and sickanimation. Pre-YouTube days… The internet was much more enjoyable back then, before it was with you everywhere in your pocket.

    Pipe Relights...Don't Worry About It!

    I’m sometimes about this as well. Especially nice for me when I’m busy with chores. It’s not problem relighting a pipe for me, especially with a lighter, it’s so effortless.

    Ashtray

    I made a similar one for myself and dump all my ash and dottle in it. With the lid on, no ashy smell. Sits on my kitchen counter all week and then dump it in the trash on garbage day.

    Exhaust Fan For New Smoking Room?

    For me it’s just too hot to comfortably be outside most of the day and year. Hot, dusty, windy. There are hotter places but I’m not inclined to warm weather at all.

    Rivertown

    I really enjoy sunrise select. The price is very good. The nic wasn’t as strong as some reviews made it out to be. It has that bright Virginia flavor that half and half has, if you dislike the anise topping on that blend but otherwise enjoy it, then I would recommend sunrise select. I will...

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    For what it’s worth, to those not interested in STG’s Capstan Blue, I have found Per Jensen’s Port Guardian to be a much more intriguing version (for lack of a better term) of Capstan than the MacBaren version. I have smoked Port Guardian and a 2024 Capstan Blue back to back today, and I find...

    Exhaust Fan For New Smoking Room?

    I also have one. Since I have solar and thus no electric bill, I forget to use it 😄 It is definitely more efficient at cooling the house than the AC though. Mines centered in the middle point of my home though.

    Harbor Dreams in my Spigot 999 Newgrange. WOW. A very well done aromatic. An aro that tastes like it smells for once!

    Ha, I guess the headphones would just be an alternative to loud music and speaker hiss and getting drunk. Though you could still technically get drunk with the headphones 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Leather Pouch Storage

    You could keep your pouch in an airtight Tupperware or something similar for when you’re not using it. Or just transfer tobacco in/out a designated jar before you leave/after you return home for the day.

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    Probably just younger tobacco with no age. As far as I know, STG hasn’t even begun selling Capstan from their facility. All that’s changed is the sticker on the back of the tin saying it’s imported from STG rather than MacBaren, as MacBaren doesn’t exist anymore. I’d expect new production will...

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

    A little bit C&D Dark Burley tonight. A 10/10 tobacco in my opinion. It starts off rough and spicy, but rounds out quickly. This stuff is hitting hard today, maybe because it smokes pretty cool and I got a bit carried away, in a Pete Junior Bulldog.
