New pipe, should I be concerned?
Minor deal. If the pipe was brand new it comes down to whether or not you are ok with it. If not, return it.- dottlejockey

Issue Smoking Flakes
I smoke flakes all the time and i love them. I rarely dry any tobacco, but that is a successful method if struggling to keep it lit. Typical method for me is to roll the flake like a burrito, fold it over, massage a little back and forth to break it up a bit, then very gently twist into the...- dottlejockey

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Thanks, i'm really digging the African meer and especially the size of the chamber. Best Pete i've smoked yet. Definitely a keeper. 3 women vs 1 is definitely not the same, but whether it's lucky or unlucky kind of depends on how you calculate the metrics. I know when i was younger there...- dottlejockey

Oliva is another great company. I enjoy the O, G and especially the V. But all are good. 👍- dottlejockey

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Hit the smoking spot with some Pee Dee in a Pete Tawny Deluxe earlier and then spent the day in Galveston at the beach with my wife celebrating our 25th anniversary. Had an excellent dinner at Gaido's on the Seawall. Then fired up a cigar and caught a stunning orange to purple sunset with the...- dottlejockey

Went out and caught some rays after breakfast with some FUSTG in an Ali cherrywood. Also figured i'd share this t-shirt i found at one of the shops on the beach yesterday. I'm not normally one to buy tourist memoirs, but this one was worth it. Wearing it today...- dottlejockey

Here here! The man needs to step up his coffee game. Life's too short for crappy coffee. One more recommendation for checking out Sweetwater Organic (local Gainesville roaster)! :P- dottlejockey

Finished off the not-so-terrible coffee this morning after catching the sunrise. Enjoyed a follow up bowl of OJK Blue in an IMP and now it's time to get the eggs and bacon going. Contemplating a rare second cup.- dottlejockey

When home blending/mixing sometimes you learn what to do and sometimes you learn what not to do. Either way, a worthy effort, indeed. Also, on a side note, wanted to let you know that after a couple more bowls of Until The End, i think it's a solid recommendation. Good stuff! Smoked another...- dottlejockey

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
Had a local El Cubano cigar today down at Galveston Beach. Gorgeous day. Saw some fins in the water and warned a few people nearby, then we kept watching and realized it was 5 or 6 dolphins out there doing their thing. Fun to watch. Caught some dinner at Fish Tales on the Seawall. Just...- dottlejockey

I followed that path as well: cigar first, but only due to shipping restrictions from SP to WA. The pipe blend doesn't dissappoint either. Both of these are repeatable blends and i have bought more after the first trial. Hope you enjoy them as much as i do. Always fun to find something new...- dottlejockey

***What Are You Smoking, September 2025?***
Aye. And quite distinct. I've enjoyed OJK o.g. for many years. This was my first time venturing out into some of their newer offerings and found both the Blue and, surprising, the White to have their own merit as well. Not a bad one in the bunch. Hitting the street this fine morning with a...- dottlejockey

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
Took a nice walk last night with an Aladino Vintage. Crappy pic quality with the cell phone, but this was a nice smoke as well. So far i think the Corona was my favorite of them all, flavor-wise. I'll give this sampler another go when i get back home. :) Always fun to explore a new...- dottlejockey

It's a new addition, which is why you haven't seen it around much until lately. I, too, typically like rustication or at least a blast, but this one and the recent Castello Collection just caught my eye. Both feel great in the hand and smoke like champs. Well, i finally got to exploring the...- dottlejockey
