J.M. Boswells - Chambersburg
It's a lovely shop - I visited a few weeks ago. Acted as a helpful third-party for a first-time pipe smoker who wanted to get a few pipes and some tobacco to share with his friends for a weekend in the mountains (he got three basket pipes, the holiday variety pack and a Czech tool or two). I...- Pooh-Bah

Anal Fissure
Here I was, expecting to get in on the ground floor of knowledge about some new blend with an unappealing/silly name to appeal to Gen Z. ...I guess the industry just isn't ready for the Painful Below-The-Waist Maladies series yet.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***
The same Meer as always, finishing off a tin of War Horse Bar while I rock on the porch and admire the fog along the street. Next time, I suppose I'll open that tin of War Horse Green and see how the more-flavored version compares to my beloved Bar.- Pooh-Bah

Review of Garvey’s Balkan (and recommendation query)
Boswell's in PA has a couple house blends that're Englishes With Burley, which they sell online. One of those might be up your alley.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***
Semois in the meer on the back porch, next to some of my tobacco plants that I didn't harvest. ...maybe I should. Just hang the prettiest leaves by some string in the basement over the winter or something.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***
Continuing to get acquainted with the Boswell (I have christened it "Rio"), using Boswell's Titus. I wasn't too big a fan of the blend initially, then I slowed down and gave it a couple rehrohales.- Pooh-Bah

Preferred Whiskey/Whisky Proof?
If I'm buying whiskey and it ain't scotch, I gravitate toward Old Overholt 114, which I thought was only available in Pennsylvania, but I've seen it a couple times at stores near Baltimore.- Pooh-Bah

Went on a little adventure to Chambersburg today. Boswell's Countryside in my new Boswell pipe. And I gotta say: JM Boswell did a damn fine job.- Pooh-Bah

Favourite Discontinued Candy Bar
My father once told me of the Seven Up bar. Our quest for a chocolate bar of multiple compartmentalized fillings is what led me to the aforementioned Sky Bar. And I see now that the master of that art truly was Pearson's. Dang.- Pooh-Bah

Favourite Discontinued Candy Bar
I'm a big fan of refrigerated of a Zero and a glass of milk, personally. Probably terrible for my teeth though. Skybars were out of production for a while a year or two ago, but they're back now. Those are a favorite of mine. I'm also pretty sure Zagnut is still in production, but their...- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***
Crooner in my Crooner pipe (Ropp 428B). Still strongly considering picking up another Ropp, but that can wait until I've finished considering a dog.- Pooh-Bah

***What Are You Smoking, November 2023?***
Enjoying the weather and fall colors on the porch with a pipe of War Horse while a yellow jacket crawls around my bed head. Should've worn my hat. :p- Pooh-Bah

Need Recommendations
As I understand it, "English" generally means some combination of Virginia, Oriental and Latakia; and originates with the Crimean War when British soldiers got a bit of a taste for Ottoman tobacco and blenders back in England started using Latakia as a condiment. The name probably caught on...- Pooh-Bah

Need Recommendations
My most frequent source of latakia is C&D Byzantium. Once in a lounge, a fellow looked up from his cigar and remarked to me that he wanted to get some of what I was smoking and use it to smoke meats.- Pooh-Bah

What's Your Favorite Doughnut?
Cruller. Plain donut you get in a box at the grocery store from some giant corporate bakery. Recently discovered mochi donuts, and I won over to those as well.- Pooh-Bah

What Are You Drinking? October 2023
The other day I was helping some friends with the cocktail menu for their annual Halloween party - they don't do mixed drinks usually. This conversation was held over a glass of one such suggestion, the Hanky Panky. Yes, it isn't a very Halloween-y name, given it's something the older members...- Pooh-Bah

Being Honest.
I once heard a quote which was allegedly from ancient history, by a Greek about their old enemies the Persians, I believe. "The nobles there teach their sons three things: How to ride a horse, how to shoot a bow, and to tell the truth"- Pooh-Bah
