    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    STG did make Capstan in the past, and MacBaren’s version was basically a carbon copy according to this fella: https://dutchpipesmoker.com/2013/06/12/oh-capstan-my-capstan/

    Exhaust Fan For New Smoking Room?

    I use a similar fan as this for my small home office and it works well enough for pipes. For cigars, it does clear smoke out the room, but the stronger smell can still make its way out to the hall. The pipe smoke smell is always contained in the office, and easily covered up with a nice candle...

    Erinmore Flake, dizzy after more than 1 hour of smoke

    Nicotine is a stimulant and for me personally I can’t smoke before bed. It keeps me awake. I’d pull all-nighters in college with the help of caffeine and nicotine.

    What Is the Future of Pipesmoking for Younger Generations?

    Do hipsters even exist anymore? Ironically enough, I discovered pipe smoking from hipsters posting on tumblr circa ~2010 when they were at their peak.

    What Is the Future of Pipesmoking for Younger Generations?

    You bringing up dating apps and “420 friendly” reminded me of this woman I matched with on Hinge who switched to cigarettes to quit weed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

    Sunrise Select — one of my absolute favorites— in a Savinelli Miele 510KS.

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

    St. Bruno RR in a Morgan Bones Bulldog. I didn’t like this stuff at first. It’s honestly been growing on me. It’s super wet, but lights pretty easily with the indirect heat from the match. Very, very sweet. Wish I could try the OG stuff.

    Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!

    I leave it off while I’m smoking. It goes back on before I dump the dottle out my pipe. But yeah, it just goes around the seam where the lighter opens. It’s very easy to stretch on and off with the ranger bands.

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

    Sunrise Select in my Pete Junior to start the day. With an Americano. WOW, what a great straight Virginia. I’m loving this stuff. It has that particular taste I always get from Half and Half that I love.

    Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!

    The zippo pipe insert is the pinnacle of pipe-lighting technology. It’s wind proof, reliable, and looks great. I don’t really notice the naphtha smell/taste. Only a couple of times I’ve noticed, probably from overfilling. Only issue is evaporation. But I’ve found that 1.5” x 0.5” rubber...

    Wash mason jars between tobaccos?

    I spritz Clorox bleach in the jar and toss it in the dishwasher. Hand wash the lids with dish soap. Put the used lid away, grab a new one and also spray that with the bleach and rinse then dry with a paper towel. The jars, once done in the dishwasher, I dry them off and shake them to get the...

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

    Some Mick McQuaid RR in my new Peterson Terracotta Bulldog. I’m really loving MM, hoping I can find something similar in the states.

    FDA Approves Flavored And Tobacco Vapes Today

    Yup! I was not a heavy cigarette smoker by any means. But definitely became a vape fiend when I switched. They are just way too convenient.

    Washington Smoking Laws: Advice for Enjoying a Smoke?

    I agree with others to just do it unless someone complains. You might find some bars that have outdoor areas where you can smoke too. If my apartment had a balcony I would honestly just smoke there until I got a complaint 🤷🏻‍♂️

    FDA Approves Flavored And Tobacco Vapes Today

    Just my two cents from my experience and also I’m going on a tangent here, but I feel like Juul is not much better than cigarettes. You’re inhaling toxicants into your lungs regardless and when I was addicted to Juul I was constantly vaping all day where with ciggies I was a pack a week smoker...

    Visiting Peterson Shop in Dublin

    I’ve been busy since returning back to the US from my trip to Ireland, so I’m very late in reporting back. The Peterson shop is a nice small store and the staff were very friendly. Their tobacco selection is bigger than I thought, and it honestly just seems on par with most B&M’s in Northern...

    Visiting Peterson Shop in Dublin

    That’s very neat to know, actually. I still remember when drugstores here would have a few different OTC blends and Dr. Grabows, pipe tools, cleaners, etc. The single pouch of Captain Black at my local Walgreens is a ruin of a lost civilization lol

    Visiting Peterson Shop in Dublin

    That’s a great recommendation for the cliffs. Unfortunately, I’ll only be in Dublin and Galway, but I’d definitely go there on a second trip in the future. It seems that condor is indeed a must if buying pipe tobacco in Ireland. Thank you for all the great suggestions!

    Visiting Peterson Shop in Dublin

    A list like this is precisely what I was looking for, thank you! I have been considering stopping at James J Fox because it’s close to the Peterson shop, and I figured I would stop in if I couldn’t acquire unique tobacco at the Peterson store. I should definitely have enough time to visit both...
